Filtering spam on iPad

Is there a spam filter on the iPad email? The email seems to be skipping spam detection coming to the iPad.
Thanks
Dan

Hello,
On my PC with Outlook i can create 2 reception boxes, one for people i allowed, one for other i did not allow yet.
Then, spam messages are easily filtered and i can delete them all with one clic. And important messages are not mixed with hundreds of spams.
Is that possible to do the same with iPad mail features. I did not find anything to do that in features menu
I am surprised because it is obvious and essential feature...

Wrong positive spam on ipad

How can I tell apple that mails in my ipad junk folder are NOT spam, and how to avoid this in the future. It is more than enojing not to get electronic invoices and then have to pay extra cost for delayed payment - can I send these extra invoice to apple?
Explaining articles are for mac only but do not work for ipads.

Sorry, I did not tell about the app. It is the genuine bulit in mail with an account on me.com (icloud.com). The junk folder is created by this account automatically, and I cannot delete it. Once a wrong positive mail is selected there is no way to mark it as wrong positive, so this wrong verdict is avoided for that sender in the future, nor is there any other way to send it back to the SP (apple) to inform him about wrong filter settings and to coreect it.
Spam filtering is o.k. But I hate when other people evaluate my mails without telling me nor giving me the chance to correct and manage this myself.
Thanks anyway for your reply.

Snow Leopard Server doesn't seem to be filtering spam....

Hi everyone-
For some reason, lots of spam keeps getting through my mail server even though I have Junk Filtering turned on and set at 2 hits (pretty close to "Aggressive"). I also have RBLs (sbl.spamhaus.org, xbl.spamhaus.org, and bl.spamcop.net) setup but that hasn't seem to help much.
Below is a screenshot of my Filters tab.

Thanks!

Hi justinmang,
You can get a big improvement in spam filtering by turning on Language Guesser in SpamAssassin. (The accepted language settings do not work until this is changed)
Open a terminal window on the server and edit /etc/mail/spamassassin/v310.pre
Change the line: *#loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::TextCat*
to this: *loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::TextCat*
Also train SpamAssassin - see page 36-37 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/MailServicesAdminv10.6.pdf
Hope this helps,
Boddie

How do you filter Spam from iPad mail?

I have an iPad 2 with both POP 3 and Exchange accounts. Is there a way to block spam from showing up on my iPad?

To block spam from showing up on your iPad requires the process being done at the incoming mail server level.
The iPad's Mail app does not include a junk mail filter which would not prevent spam from showing up on your iPad if it were available.

Filtering Spam with JavaMail

My spam filter, ChiaraMail, has come up against some spam which it doesn't know how to deal with. Specifically, I've been getting more and more spam whose content is in HTML and obfuscated with "<...>" tags. For example,
M<foo>ake<bar>Mo<fasdf>ney<vcbvcx>Fas<rtew>t!
The obfuscating stuff gets filtered out by HTML readers, and therefore the "message" gets displayed OK. Is there a way for JavaMail to filter it out as well? This message obfuscation technique seems to be the state of the art in spamming technology, so I need to be able to deal with it (I get over 500 pieces of spam per day, which is why I wrote ChiaraMail). Thanks, in advance.
Bob

One way could be to first separate out each word,and then discard all unwanted words if any. Then in the remaining set in each word get rid of the special characters and do the above check again.
Whatever left is fairly clean. But this is just a trivial implementation. any body could get away by introducing an extra space within each letter !!!!
Good luck.

Spam on IPad?

How can one block and or designate unwanted Spam On the IPad? Bulk mail is overloaded with Spam.

You can try accessing your e-mail account via safari and any webmail service they may have. There may be options there that you can use to block the spam.
The iPad mail app does not have a 'mark as spam' feature and it's unlikely that it'll ever have it due to how different e-mail providers configure their services. You need to go to your provider using another way - safari and webmail or via a computer - to see what you can access.

Filtering spam in iphone mail ??? !!!

Well, the title is clear, I haven't found any way...
As I have several accounts, I filter the spams in os X mail, instead in each mailbox whicj would be too complicated to manage... And then I badly need a filter in iphone !!!

Thank you for your replies, but what you propose is exactly what I don't want (as I said in the initial post) :
If Apple has offered the filter in mail, I guess it is :
* for guys who don't know anything in computing,
* or the opposite, for guys like me, who know a little in computing and have more that 5 accounts with 3 different providers : I don't want to bear the burden of setting up the filters in each account !
I am affraid there is presently no solution...
But I badly want to know when it will be done (I guess it will happen some day ! )
If anybodu have a clue, I would be very happy...
Thanks to apple to provide any good answer !... At least an estimated date

Filtering Spam using Mail "Rules"

Can anyone help with this?
I've written a Rule in Mail Prefs to filter out any all-text mail from anyone who is NOT in my Address Book. This has worked well in the past.
The problem now: I'm getting email from spammers who are able to put my email address in the FROM box thereby getting around the filter rule.
Can I create a Rule in Mail to filter out this type of spam? I do not want to filter out mail that I may send to myself... like notes or reminders.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Joe

Sorry Joe, that's one of the weaknesses of filtering.
But if you don't ever send yourself eMails, you could use if From contains [email protected] then spam it.

Need help filtering spam using Mail Rules

Hello
My me.com address is on a **** spam email circulation list. Most of the emails come from .RU or .UA and every email address is different. I receive up to 3 a day.
I have tried Mail rules to filter this, but for some reason it is not working. I have tried filtering the individual email address and all .RU addresses, but the Mail filter just doesn't apply the rule.
I normally use Aliases for any only registration - so I am not sure how my real me.com account name was found. I have also tried VIW/MESSAGE/RAW SOURCE (see results below). I have replaced my me.com email address with "[email protected]".
This spam is driving me nuts, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

I am having exactly the same problem with mail not applying the rules. I have a rule set that if any mail is considered junk mail, to redirect it to [email protected] and to move it to the trash folder. I click "apply rules" on my junk mail, nothing happens. New spam comes in that it marks as Junk, nothing happens. I mark an email as junk, nothing happens.
After over a year of problem after problem with my mac, I have almost lost faith. Can someone please help us?? Is anyone out there??
Thank you,

I use gmail. How do I block junk emails and spam or create filters to delete them

I Use an I pad and iPhone for gmail . how do I block spam and unwanted commercial emails. can I set filters as I do when using my MacBook Pro?
I don't see the same "more" bottom on these devices. Please help.

Arwav
deggie is 100% right, you must do it at gMail-webMail from a web browser. Your iPad will probably be easiest.
FYI, gMail is responsible for filtering SPAM. Your iDevices merely check your webMail's INBOX for unread messages. If SPAM gets there, it means gMail is not recognizing the messages as such. You should be able to block individual eMail addresses there as well, for the ones that are slipping through the cracks.
Hope this helps.

How do I send junk mail to spam on my iPad and iPhone?

How do I get rid of junk mail. The more I unsubscribe the more I get. Can you send to spam on iPhone or iPad?

I suggest you rely on your email service provider to do that. If you're not happy with your provider's filtering, Gmail has a good reputation for filtering spam.

Mac Mail and Poor Spam Filtering

Hello. Is anyone else having issues with Mail not filtering Spam correctly? I have been battling something since early February. I'm getting hit with Spam every half hour. It's from 20+ different places and there special offers. About 50 spams a day.
This has only been a real problem since 2 months ago.
I've tried going into preferences in Mail and junk mail and then click advance and add the key words I don't want accepted, with no luck. My Advance filter system is so bogged down, I can't even see the end anymore.
Here's my settings in Junk Mail:
1. Enable Junk Mail Filtering = Yes
2. When Junk Mail Arrives = Move to the Junk Mailbox Automatic
3. The Following types of messages are exempt from junk filtering= all 3 on
4. Trust junk mail headers set by you ISP = Yes
Then in Advanced I have all the popular key Spam words in=
Wal Mart, Viagra, Sex, Special Offer, Drugs, Cialus, Target, Sears, Credit, Loans, Hey Baby, Bro, Free Offer, Congratulations, confirmation ETC...
I have the description at the top named "JUNK"
Then under that...
If "ANY" of the following conditions are met:
"Subject" - "Contains" - "the names described above"
But yet still these things keep getting through!!!!!
Please someone help!!!! This is driving me MADDDDD!!!!

Try setting Junk filtering back to Training for a couple of days, then see if it correctly intercepts all junk mail. If it doesn't, mark the escapes as junk and let the system gather knowledge
Trash the junk messages or put them in the Junk folder first (maybe that adds to the learning curve? no idea, but it can't hurt) or erase them via Alt-apple-J

How do I block junk mail from going to my iPhone and iPad?

I blocked a ton of emails from Outlook on my work PC but they still come to my iPhone and iPad. The block on my PC did the job but for some reason, my phone and ipad cannot tell the difference. Please help! I cant stand getting bogus emails all day long!

Sorry KT, but that answer is ridiculous.
Since 2007 there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of messages on this discussion forum about the need for client-side email filtering on the iPhone. Server-side filtering has two major problems:
Many people using the same server/service have different notions of what’s SPAM. I might need to see marketing messages from some firm I work with and ignore political messages. You might work in politics and want to filter something completely different. There is not way for a service to filter out SPAM unless it has individual data on what to filter out. Programmers who write services choose to put common functionality on the server side and user-specific stuff on the client side because that’s the most effective solution.
All good mail clients filter SPAM in some way. Even Apple Mail.app filters SPAM using a relatively sophisticated algorithm. Thus the folks who do server filtering know that an additional, fine-grain, filter exists downstream from them. If they do more filtering upstream, they will make more mistakes, and users will get mad. They are incentivized by every other email client to filter out only the truly blatant SPAM, and let users handle the rest with client-side filtering.
There are other iPhone email clients, for jailbroken phones, so the market for this capability clearly exists. Why has Apple gotten the answer wrong for 5 years?
Frankly, my kids got me an iPhone for Christmas because they thought I was a luddite. I’m looking to get out of the contract because I just can’t use it to read my email and my old phone was more than good enough to talk on. I’ve been an Apple customer since the Original Mac, but this is the first Apple product that just doesn’t work.

How can I stop spam from someone called AT&T High Speed Internet? I do not know what the email address is.

I am receiving 100's of spam emails. They are all advertising different types of products but they all say they are from AT&T High Speed Internet. I have used the junk filter on them but it does not pick them up as junk. I have to do it manually each time. I have contacted my UVerse provider and they cannot assist because it is getting through Yahoo to Thunderbird. They say that it is a problem that I will have to have assistance from Thunderbird to resolve so that I can have this listed as junk and will not have to do this manually. I am at my wit's end. Please, please help me!

Yahoo has its own junk mail filter (Spamguard), which you should confirm is enabled:
* [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/stop-spam-yahoo-mail-sln3227.html Mail Help | - SLN3227 - Stop spam in Yahoo Mail]
The significance of this is that marking messages as junk in Thunderbird probably isn't integrated with Yahoo's system, so Yahoo may not be getting trained to block them. You might need to go into Yahoo from time to time and mark accumulated junk as spam.
Separately, there are solutions for filtering spam on your computer as the mail is downloaded from Yahoo. Thunderbird has a built-in filter, as described here: [[Thunderbird and Junk / Spam Messages]]. However, if that isn't as effective you would like, there are third party products as well.
