I send a newsletter to people that subscribe to it. I use my website's server to send the e-mail (from e-mail management software called Interspire), and it uses my e-mail address' SMTP information to send it. A large percentage of the e-mails return with SMTP error 550, mostly from orange.fr, wanadoo.fr, sfr.fr and Hotmail.
I can't figure out what error 550 is supposed to mean. It just says that the message is rejected.
Here is a sample response (with some e-mail addresses removed):

Most likely because the people providing you email addresses have given you a bogus email, typed it wrong, they have deleted their account or the account is suspended. 550 error is related to mail not being able to received and not related to spam.
Unless you have a 'confirm' email input field on your signup to email subscription then its likely mistypes and you should expect these to occur often.
Error 550
Simply put, a 550 error code means that your SMTP server isn't able to
deliver the sent email to the user because his mailbox does not exist:
either the customer has entered it wrong (a typical example is
something like mail@otmail.com instead of mail@hotmail.com), or the
account has been deactivated and replaced with a new one (but you
didn't know it).
