postmaster@me.com

Despite being owned by Apple, me.com is very broken. I've added it to Gladserv's "broken sender domains" list so it is excempted from RFC checks until they can fix their servers, because it rejects email for postmaster@me.com (an RFC MUST).

telnet smtp-mx002.me.com 25
Trying 17.148.20.82...
Connected to smtp-mx002.me.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 smtpin133-bge351000 -- Server ESMTP (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging

MAIL FROM: postmaster@gladserv.com
250 2.5.0 Address Ok.
RCPT TO: postmaster@me.com
550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: postmaster@me.com

Also, several of the MXs appear also appear to be overloaded:

telnet smtp-mx001.me.com 25
Trying 17.148.20.81...
Connected to smtp-mx001.me.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
452 try later
Connection closed by foreign host.

It would be really nice if the big guys could stick to the rules.
Anyone doing basic RFC checks will be rejecting this domain.

Looks like others are having the same problem.

Checking further reveals AOL are rejecting @me.com addresses, amongst
others.

Even worse is that clients were not receiving bounce messages from the me.com servers to tell them what had happened to their email.

I've added an exception for this domain to Gladserv's email servers so
email from me.com will get through. I've also submitted them to www.rfc-ignorant.org to encourage them to play by the rules.
