How do I set up email filter on IPad?

We have been getting spam/scam emails. Filtered on desktop which works but wifi brings them to Ipad. How do we filter emails on IPad 2? Thx.

You can't set filters in the mail app in iOS. You have to set the filters on the server in order for them to work on the iPad. You might be able to set filters in your mail client on your computer, but there is no way to do that on the iPad mail app.

  • How do I set up a filter to stop relayed mail?

    How do I set up a filter to stop relayed mail?
    Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE) is electronic mail sent to large numbers
    of recipients without their knowledge or consent, usually advertising commercial
    products or services. It is the electronic equivalent of paper "junk
    mail", and is commonly referred to as Spam.
    <P>UBE is usually just a nuisance, but the volume of UBE received at a
    certain site can at times become so onerous that business-critical functions
    are affected. This is especially true when UBE is used maliciously
    to produce a denial of service attack, where a mail server is inundated
    with UBE and crashes because of the load. Another common UBE problem
    is when a mail server is used as a relay for UBE, so that a particular
    server spends all its time routing e-mail that isn't destined for its
    users. Some ISPs have reported that their mail servers have been
    hard coded into certain spam programs, so that they are constantly being
    used as a relay. Not only does this slow down their mail service
    locally, but sometimes other ISP's will identify the afflicted ISP as a
    source of spam and begin to block messages, legitimate and spam alike,
    coming from that ISP. ISP's often name UBE as their number one problem,
    preventing them from providing fast, reliable service.
    <P>For a full definition of UBE see http://www.imc.org/uce-def.html
    (Unsolicited Bulk Email: Definitions and Problems).
    <P>Messaging Server 3.5 Hosting Edition supports powerful filtering capabilities
    on messages as they are received by the server. Various criteria
    can be applied to incoming messages, including testing on number of recipients,
    sender domain or IP address, messages being relayed, and more. Messages
    can then be bounced, dropped, or reviewed by an administrator before being
    delivered. Providers can filter out unwanted mail at the source or block
    a third party from using their messaging server for relaying email.
    <P><B>UBE Filters Functionality Overview</B>
    <P>The UBE filter is a plugin for Netscape Messaging Server 3.5. It works
    by examining all incoming mail before it is routed throughout the system
    (to users mailboxes or to other email servers). The UBE filter uses a set
    of rules (also known as filters) to decide what to do with each piece of
    mail. The filters are used to trap specified types of mail.
    Mail that is trapped can be rejected, forwarded to a specific mailbox (e.g.,
    the postmaster), deleted, or altered in some way. Mail that "passes"
    all the filters continues on its normal course.
    <P>Filters can be set up two ways, either using the straight forward Graphical
    User Interface (GUI) or by setting up the filters directly in the filter.cfg
    file. Generally, one would use the GUI interface for simple, one
    line filters. To set up more complicated, multi-part filters, editing
    the <I>filter.cfg</I> file directly would be faster. Both methods
    are accessed via the Messaging Server Admin tool, under Plug-ins.
    The following discussion gives some high level examples of how to set up
    simple filters using the GUI and via the <I>filter.cfg</I> file.
    For detailed information on how to set up and configure the UBE Filter
    plug-in, see chapter 5 of the online help, or http://home.netscape.com/eng/Messaging/guide35/ch5.htm#Controlling
    unsolicited bulk email (UBE).
    <P><B>Setting Up UBE Filters with the GUI</B>
    <P>The following screen shot shows a simple UBE filter being set up using
    the UBE GUI. What is being set up is a filter to check all incoming
    messages to see if they come from a domain that has been a regular source
    of UBE. In this case, the name of the offending domain is "spammer.com".
    So, each message that comes in has its "From" field checked to see if
    it is from "spammer.com". If it is, the action is REJECT, meaning
    the message is bounced back to the sender, with the appended message "I
    don't accept mail from spammer.com".
    <P>
    <BR>
    <P>Any field in the message can be examined, with some of the most popular
    including the Subject, To, and Cc fields. Any regular expression
    can be placed into the Value field, thus allowing the filter to check for
    various conditions, including containment of a particular phrase (e.g.
    Subject includes "make money"), or number of recipients (e.g., if greater
    than 100, REJECT). For more information on how to write regular expressions,
    see http://home.netscape.com/eng/Messaging/guide35/ch5.htm#Controlling
    unsolicited bulk email (UBE)
    <P>There are a number of actions that can be taken on a trapped message.
    The most common are forwarding to a "watchdog" account such as the postmaster,
    rejection, and deletion. But, in addition, programs such as virus
    checking can be run on a message to trap infected messages.
    <P><B>Setting Up UBE Filters by editing the <I>filter.cfg</I> file</B>
    <P>In the above example, the filter that was set up was converted to a
    short filter script that looked as follows:
    <P>Channel-From ".*@spammer.com" REJECT
    "I don't accept mail from spammer.com"
    <P>This can also be directly entered into the <I>filter.cfg</I> file by
    choosing the option "Edit Config File" from the UBE Page. This becomes
    interesting for more complicated filters that require more than one filter
    line. The following example shows a set of filters that were set
    up to check for various conditions. For example, the fifth
    and sixth line down is a filter that checks messages for viruses.
    <P>
    <BR>
    <P><B>Using the UBE Filter for Anti-Relay</B>
    <BR>
    <P>One of the most requested needs of the new UBE filters supported in
    Messaging Server 3.5 is to provide "anti-relay", i.e., to stop UBE which
    is from an outside domain and destined for another outside domain.
    In these cases, the mail is usually UBE and is relaying to hide the source
    of the original spammer.
    <P>There are two possible scenarios for anti-relay. One is where
    there is a separate machine outside the firewall that checks for e-mail
    for its domain. The other scenario is when there is only one machine
    handling both internal and external traffic.
    <P><I>Scenario One: Separate machines used for internal and external
    mail</I>
    <P>Outside of the firewall are mail servers that handle all incoming mail
    from the internet. Internal users connect to mail servers inside
    of the fire wall. The scenario looks like this:
    <BR>
    <P>What we want to allow is users 1 and 2 (U1 and U2) to send mail anywhere
    but X1 and X2 should only be allowed to send mail to our servers.
    <P>Solution:
    <P>On the External Mail Server create a filter script that checks the Channel-to
    header for domains that are internal to us. Allow these through and
    reject all other mail. E.g., the filters would look as follows:
    <BR>
    <UL># if the mail is bound for domain1 or domain2 then exit the script
    (and allow the mail to continue)
    <BR>Channel-To "domain1.com" EXIT
    <BR>Channel-To "domain2.com" EXIT
    <BR># otherwise reject it outright ($ANY means any header and .* means
    it has any text)
    <BR>$ANY ".*"
    REJECT "This machine only accepts mail bound for domain1.com or domain2.com"</UL>
    We don't need to do anything on the internal server since only our users
    can get to it (because of the firewall) and we want to allow them to send
    and receive any and all mail.
    <BR>
    <P><I>Scenario 2: Single machine used for internal and external mail</I>
    <P>In this scenario the same machine is used for both internal and external
    connections. The problem we face here is that we need to allow the
    local users to send mail outside our domains but not allow external users
    to do the same. Note: This set up is not generally recommended, since it
    makes the Messaging Server open to external attacks.
    <BR>
    <P>Here, we want to allow U1, U2 and U3 to send anywhere and X1 and X2
    to send to domain1 or domain2 only.
    <P>Solution:
    <P>The solution in this case is to put the same script as scenario 1 on
    the server but pre-pend it with lines that check for a connection from
    the internal domains. If the connection is from our users it must
    be from certain IP addresses, say 128.128.128.* or 128.128.129.*, so we
    look for that. If it's not from one of these two IP addresses, then
    it must be from outside and we apply the same logic as in scenario 1.
    <BR>
    <UL>#if the connection is from our internal domains then exit the script
    (and allow the mail to continue)
    <BR>Host-From "128\.128\.128\." EXIT
    <BR>Host-From "128\.128\.129\." EXIT
    <BR># if the mail is bound for domain1 or domain2 then exit the script
    (and allow the mail to continue)
    <BR>Channel-To "domain1.com" EXIT
    <BR>Channel-To "domain2.com" EXIT
    <BR># otherwise reject it outright ($ANY means any header and .* means
    has any text)
    <BR>$ANY ".*" REJECT "This machine only accepts mail bound for domain1.com
    or domain2.com"</UL>

    I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
    In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.

    Is this a company email account?  If so you may need to talk their technical support, as there may be additional layers of security which are preventing a connection.

  • How do I set up email addresses from my address book?

    How do I set up email addresses from my address book?

    I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.  If you are coming from pre-Mountain Lion, then Address Book has changed to Contacts.
    Open Contacts.
    Select an Account in the group list, if you want the contact in a specific group. If Groups aren't showing, you can display them from the View menu.
    Click the Add card button ( + ).
    Enter the information for the contact.
    If you need multiple entries for a particular field type, a new blank entry will show up below the one you are adding.
    If you need other fields, use the Card menu to Add a new field type.
    If you want to change the default fields available when you create a new card, choose Edit Template…
    If you have sent emails to someone and you want to get that address to add to a Contact, use the Previous Recipients command in the View menu in Mail.
    If you need to add a new Group, hover the cursor over the account name, and a + button will appear. Click it.

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "I-Mail". However, there is no way to set up an autoresponder on an iPad. You'll need to do it through the server. For example, I have Gmail. I can log into Gmail on my computer using my browser and set up an autoreponse in settings.

  • How do I set up email accounts to send emails while travelling overseas using various wifi locations?

    How do I set up email accounts to send and receive
    emails while travelling overseas using various wifi locations?

    Many ISP provided email accounts limit connections to their outgoing SMTP email servers to only connections coming from their own network. So, if you try to send email when not connected to their network (i.e. when not at home), the connection will be rejected.
    If you are using an ISP provided email address, in these circumstances, you'll need to ask your ISP if they provide an "authenticated SMTP connection" so that you can send email via their SMTP server when not actually accessing the internet via their network. You'll need to enter your email account username and password in the Outgoing SMTP server settings and possible configure SSL or outgoing port numbers. Your ISP will be able to advise on this though, as the exact setting vary between ISPs.
    By far the best solution though, is to use an email account that is not tied to any particular ISP, such as a GMail account, as these can be used from anywhere, on any network and provide authenticated SMTP as standard.

    How do you set your email account

    if this is your first email account you're adding to your iPod tough, go to the mail app. you'll have choices of what mail server you have. i think windows live mail isn't an option, so go to "other" and go from there by filling your email, name, and password. Im pretty sure thats about it. i use gmail so that was pretty easy.

    emails is a separate service from
    Internet and phone service
    even if you have those 2 covered you will need to
    setup the e-mail service even if it's from the same providers
    that bring you internet and or phone service
    so the answer to your question comes down to what
    e-mail provider you're using and if your setup your ios correctly
    to receive and send emails over their network
