I believe they do block or bounce, but that's purely
conjecture. Most ISPs keep exactly what they do pretty
much a mystery, so as to avoid letting spammers know
when they have a "real" email account. A bounce, or a
lack of a bounce, could tell them something if the
rules were public.
Thanks for asking,
