So you created a proxy to an endpoint to an email from iCloud and something in the chain had a misconfigured DNS with the domain “p00-icloudmta-asmtp-us-central-1k-100-percent-10.p00-icloudmta-asmtp-vip.icloud-mail-production.svc.kube.us-central-1k”. It might as well be an issue with mail-testers.com or icloud.com

It’s impossible to tell from the shared page because both services are about DNS caching.

I switched from migadu to iCloud to increase my bus factor for the family. It's been interesting and a bit painful. For example I have a filter to forward emails from an 'bothofus' alias to my spouse's iCloud account at the same domain because there is no way to have a true alias --> mailbox1, mailbox2. Sometimes iCloud bounces these emails from sent from itself.

The bus factor (aka lottery factor,[1][2] truck factor,[3] or circus factor[4]) is a measurement of the risk resulting from information and capabilities not being shared among team members, derived from the phrase "in case they get hit by a bus".

So, Apple sends the wrong EHLO domain when trying to send emails out. This results in them dropping emails to their own users. Can't get past Apple's level 1 support. How can I get to someone that maintains their SMTP k8s cluster?

We usually ask around on the NANOG mailing list. Someone on that list usually already knows the contact method or a person at an ISP, datacenter or hyperscaler.

I think the question is about why someone would want to _increase_ their bus factor for the family

Bus factor being “1” means nothing works if you’re hit by a bus.

> The "bus factor" is the minimum number of team members that have to suddenly disappear from a project before the project stalls due to lack of knowledgeable or competent personnel

IOW higher == better
