Funny you should mention that. I just read the article and... About two weeks ago, I started getting the automated "your messages have bounced, reset the bounce counter" deal for this list and the swap list. I thought for a moment that I was over my iTools/e-mail quota, but when I checked I had only something like 700k worth of messages stored on the server. I scratched my head and began to wonder why messages started to bounce. If this mac.com filtering deal is accurate, that would be the most likely explanation of what happened.
