Mail Error: Reason: Error in sieve filter

Hello,

Yesterday I started to receive this strange email error for every message that I send from one of my iCloud accounts (all others seem to be functioning fine). Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? I have done a search and nothing really comes up. I think the system is suggesting that the @me.com account is not valid, but it clearly is.

Many thanks!

Add me to the list, since yesterday. Both my .mac and .me accounts are doing it on all received emails.

I found http://9to5mac.com/2013/03/07/growing-number-of-icloud-users-experiencing-mail-d elivery-errors/ but it doesn't list a fix or very much information, other than it's happening to a bunch of us. Comforting to know it's not just me... 🙂

I told 9to5mac.com and they've posted this issue as a story, so maybe Apple might look into this now. I have 143 error emails today. http://9to5mac.com/2013/03/07/growing-number-of-icloud-users-experiencing-mail-d elivery-errors/

Me too. Apple's system status page doesn't show any problems as of this moment. Hope there's a fix soon.

I have the same problem with every @mac.com and @me.com mail I receive, driving me crazy. Apple update your system status page, you have some issues...

Same problem here, since this morning I am getting 'spammed' bij the postmaster@mac.com.

Apple, do something. Quick!

Mar 7, 2013 11:23 AM in response to lsb

Same issue here with my @mac.com account.

Mar 7, 2013 11:25 AM in response to lsb

It's most certainly an issue at Apple. iCloud.com is also exhibiting the error immediately after I send a test message to my .mac accounts.

I think we'll have to just wait and see what happens. I'm sure that Apple is aware. I sent a message already to them, but would be nice for an acknowledgment either on Status page or whereever that the problem is being investigated.
