Today, I just tried using a mailer again for myself, and I got the same instant denial message as P2.

I wonder if both of our accounts have some kind of restriction now. How long would you suggest that we wait from our last application attempt before trying to apply again? It doesn't seem that the 2/65 and 1/8 rule is applicable to our case, so I wonder if there's a different hidden rule that I didn't know about.
I would wait 60 days between apps for a little while (probably two apps / four months or maybe three and six) and then if you want you can go back to whatever frequency you were on before to see if the MAC trigger was just a temporary thing.
