I have three email accounts registered with this reflector-icloud, gmail and
webmail.wit.edu. Only the icloud.com got the message of hold due to bounces.
I don't think it has anything to do with only sending a message to the
reflector but receiving. I haven't sent a message to this reflector for
quite awhile up until this message.

Can someone explain what, if anything, I can do to avoid this problem in the
future?

I have read the posts and looked at other information on the internet. My
mail address is not Yahoo, Hotmail etc. so is the problem with the original
sender of the mail?

Keep it simple if possible ... I have never understood all the complexities
of how email works .. like many others, I am just a computer *user* !
