iOS 18.2 Mail push issue workaround: Is it better privacy-wise to whitelist mask.icloud.com and mask-h2.icloud.com or to put BLOCK_ICLOUD_PR=false in pihole-FTL.conf?

@nosugref42 This issue is not related to Pi-hole. With the release of iOS 18.2 Apple somehow broke IMAP on iOS. See here.

I'm running iOS 18.2 , iPadOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2 with BLOCK_ICLOUD_PR=true. I also have Protect Mail Activity turned on and no problems. Sometimes iOS takes it's sorry time to retrieve emails, but that is an Mail.app issue on iOS.
