I would say another main issue is that while they ask you to setup DKIM records, they do not actually DKIM-sign your emails. Hence your mails may be more easily flagged as spam. Several people have reported this to Apple, but AFAIK it still hasn’t been fixed.
- domlaut 5y agoYou're right -- this is something I missed mentioning. As of right now, it's still only the web-based iCloud Mail that makes use of DKIM. Using any other client/app will deliver your emails unsigned. Would you mind if I updated the article crediting you for the DKIM addendum?
- slimeboty 5y agoDoes the desktop mail app count as iCloud mail?
- domlaut 5y agoUnfortunately not, DKIM doesn't work on either Apple's desktop or iOS/iPadOS Mail.app (aka. Apple Mail). OTOH, at least they set the correct Return-Path unlike some others that leak your Apple ID through the header instead.
- miken123 5y agoI believe the webinterface signs with the icloud.com domain and not your own. Happy for you to update the article, no need for credits.
- bredren 5y agoThis sounds bad, does it have practical implications? Have people switched to apple hosted custom domains for email and suffered deliverability problems?
- domlaut 5y agoI personally haven't noticed deliverability issues. It'd still be nice to have the messages signed without having to use the web-based iCloud Mail.
- marban 5y agoI've read on Macrumors that some folks draft their emails on Desktop/Phone and then send them via Web as a workaround. Seriously?
