The apple iCloud mail servers use the PMDF based mail server (which was
taken over by Sun
and then Oracle). That’s why I prefer to use apple mail for my email
service.
(Full disclosure: I used to work on that email server along with some
giants in the
email space like Ned Freed, hence my greater trust in it).

What problems did you have?
You may just be lucky. Normally, they want at least DKIM and SPF
records and you might still be greylisted. Or, worse, and happens to
me on G-Mail, your e-mails are considered spam and you'll be silently
ignored unless the users check their explicitly. I've had this domain
around 25 years and my business one for 15 and you still get
occasional rejections because you might be a spam pusher…
If one considers that the internet was initially conceived to avoid
the single point of failure risk, we're getting closer to unwinding it
with one of the key and most reliable forms of communication e-mail.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility that within the next couple
of years nearly all business communication (outside China) will run on
either Microsoft or Google servers, at which point they'll be able to
extend and then extinguish protocols…
