<p dir="auto">The apple iCloud mail servers use the PMDF based mail server (which was taken over by Sun<br>
and then Oracle). That’s why I prefer to use apple mail for my email service.<br>
(Full disclosure: I used to work on that email server along with some giants in the<br>
email space like Ned Freed, hence my greater trust in it).</p>

<p dir="auto">I've been running my own mail server since last century and haven't run into any problems with big email providers not accepting my mail. What problems did you have?</p>

<p dir="auto">You may just be lucky. Normally, they want at least DKIM and SPF records and you might still be greylisted. Or, worse, and happens to me on G-Mail, your e-mails are considered spam and you'll be silently ignored unless the users check their explicitly. I've had this domain around 25 years and my business one for 15 and you still get occasional rejections because you might be a spam pusher…</p>
<p dir="auto">If one considers that the internet was initially conceived to avoid the single point of failure risk, we're getting closer to unwinding it with one of the key and most reliable forms of communication e-mail. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that within the next couple of years nearly all business communication (outside China) will run on either Microsoft or Google servers, at which point they'll be able to extend and then extinguish protocols…</p>
