Problems with email addresses provided by apple such as .mac and .me
The reason for this being here rather than the PTS forums is that there is a greater chance that folks on this forum will have email addresses that they got from various apple programs over the years and hence might run into this problem which not everyone in the CS department seems to be aware of.
A long trouble shooting slog has determined that the sending of one time codes via email (when the client detects at log in that either your IP address or some other parameter has been tripped ) may in some cases be linked to internal anti spam tech that apple uses with their email accounts such as .mac and .me
Now in my case I have used a .mac email adders with this account since early beta with no problems and I received the code emails for both NA and EU servers with out problems, almost instant delevery as well.
When it came to the PTS though it took about 2 weeks to get access as after the usual back and forth trouble shooting dealing with email white lists and ports I was asked to provide another email address to support with no reason given so I provided a .me address that I had not used much and the problems continued with the added problem that the .me would not work with NA and EU.... WHICH did work with .mac
until I got msg from our CS person for this forum section telling me about the problem and telling me to submit a non apple provided email adders to the CS person with my ticket ID# this I did last Friday and it was changed early AM today and the code mail was dully received and used... All fixed
All I can add is the apple mail used STMPE and the one that is working is a POP mail server
