outlook.com REJECT Too much spam from outlook.com, please use another

OTOH, outlook.com responds mail sent to abuse@ address, assuring you it has
been dealt with, while gmail does not.
of course, I can't be sure if they really dealt with it (nor if gmail
didn't).
For a data point on gmail/google:
I get quite a lot of 419 scam emails, many with @gmail.com contact
addresses. I report all of them.
One specific gmail contact address I have been seeing in 419 spams and
reporting to ab...@google.com (they discontinued ab...@gmail.com) since
June (5 months now).
I would assume that if the contact mailbox account had indeed been locked
by google, then the spammers would stop using it in their pitches - there
would be no way for them to reel in victims via that contact address.
The fact that after five months of reporting that contact address they are
still using it to lure victims strongly suggests to me that google is
ignoring such reports.
