That account is not subscribed.  It was probably unsubscribed
automatically some time ago due to bounced messages.

The intented use of /etc/sudoers.d was for packages to be able to
create files there for specific accounts created as part of the
package installation.

If a file in /etc/sudoers.d doesn't have the correct owner or file
permissions it will be ignored.
