Mail servers for mac.com

mac.com publishes 2 MX records. Senders deliver to the lowest-priority host first, mx02.mail.icloud.com, and fall back down the list if it does not answer.

Who runs the mail

The hosts match the pattern of iCloud Mail. iCloud Mail rejects unknown addresses at the handshake, so results are typically definitive. Note that Hide My Email aliases look like ordinary iCloud addresses and forward to a real inbox.

What this means for verification

An address at mac.com passes the free checks (syntax, MX, lists), so the API goes on to the mailbox-level SMTP handshake, which ends before any message is sent. The result is deliverable, risky, or undeliverable with a reason field that names the evidence.
