Below is the bounce notice received. It looks like "Excessive or fatal bounces" 
is the culprit. Our threshold is set to 5.0. Once the bounce threshold score is 
reached it checks "nomail" next to the account and disables it. You know all 
this of course.

However, it's not exactly logical that all the icloud and mac email accounts 
have excessive bounces at once. Or, the hotmail and live accounts for that 
matter.

I went back through the EMWD tickets.

1. (2019)15 hotmail accounts blocked -- Brian updated the SPF and we put it in 
our DNS records.
2. Hotmail accounts blocked --  (after Brian) updated DKIM, suggested if that 
didn't work to get our members to "whitelist" our emails
3. Hotmail accounts blocked -- EMWD says Microsoft rejecting dedicated mail 
from our IP, opened escalation request; Microsoft "conditionally mitigates."
4. 4 months later -- same thing
5. 4 months later -- same thing
6. Uniserve emails blocked --  EMWD said: "Looking at the logs, I see that the 
list is accepting messages from Hotmail/Outlook addresses. However, Microsoft 
is bouncing messages from the list sent to those addresses - so although other 
list members are receiving it, they wouldn't see their own messages coming 
through the list."
7. (2024) icloud and mac emails blocked -- prior to this we went to a new host, 
EMWD updated DKIM and we had the new host company put it in the DNS records.
