Why are emails to my me.com address bouncing back to the senders?

Friends are trying to email me at the @me.com address I've been using for years, but in the last few days I've been hearing how their emails are being bounced back to them? What is the cause of this and how can I fix this??

This is the message that's being sent when emails to me get bounced back:


This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification


THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.


YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.


Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed:


XXXXXXXXXXXX@me.com


Message will be retried for 2 more day(s)


Technical details of temporary failure:

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain me.com by mx4.mail.icloud.com. [17.172.34.66].


The error that the other server returned was:

451 4.5.3 Too many rejections; try again later.

Same problem occurred to me starting this weekend!


At first, two emails (both from Gmail) failed to reach my iCloud inbox on time.


Later today, I did a test with different email service providers (gmail, outlook, yahoo, etc), out of 9 emails sent, 2 emails from one of my google accounts never delivered.


I've been an email junkie and used iCloud/mobileMe as primary email for over five years, this is the first time I encountered something like this with iCloud mail.
