Q: @mac.com addresses not working

Sep 4, 2016 7:34 AMby Grant Bennet-Alder,HelpfulAccording to this article, you actual email address is @iCloud.com. The @mac.com is an Alias, and it is possible Apple has found them tiresome and reduced support for them.

DesktopsI just tried sending myself email at my @mac.com address. It was returned.
host mx4.mail.icloud.com
"unknown or illegal alias"
I can only add a new Alias using @iCloud.com

Sep 4, 2016 7:33 AMby kitsune90,The plot has thickened. I asked a couple of people to send me email at my @mac.com address. I received one immediately from my friend's iPhone in Japan, but never received two sent from another person's PC in the US. Also, I noticed yesterday and this morning, I received a random prompt message on iPhone requesting me to sign into my iTunes Account. ??? All I know is that I spent several hours yesterday trying to sort this out, and it's too beautiful a day to sit here trying to work on this today. I'm shutting everything off. Maybe that will give it time to heal itself.

(Spam folder location was due to an issue with the sender.) I'm going to say the "problem" with my @mac.com address is resolved.
