Addressing e-mail to a large list

I have a list of 300 e-mail addresses in a text file. Is there a way to get all of them or groups of them into the "to" line in apple mail without typing each one separately into my address book?? I am frustrated at not being able to simply copy and paste.

First off, I would make sure that you are allowed to send 300 emails. It might fail (with your host or ISP thinking you are attempting to spam).
Open the email text file in TextEdit, and separate each address with a comma. How you do this depends on the original nature of the file. If it's a long file, where each address is on it's own line, then replace each hard return with a comma. You can use the Find command to do this all at once. In order to "find" the hard returns, first highlight and copy the hard return in the text file, and paste into the Find field.

Best way to block a large list of IP addresses

I'm in the process of taking further steps to protect my home Web / SSH server from malicious attacks. The next thing I'd like to try doing is block a large list of known malicious IP addresses that I have listed in a text file.
I followed the Arch Wiki and set up a simple stateful firewall using iptables, but now I'm a bit stuck...
I tried using a little bash script to tell iptables to block all of the addresses in the list. It seemed clunky since it takes about 30 seconds for the script to run. Also, I'm not even sure where the best place would be to run the script in Arch Linux.
I considered saving all of those blocked IP addresses in my actual iptables settings file, but I feel that would make it difficult for me to easily download and use a new list of malicious IP addresses.
I looked into some other firewall applications. None of them seem to have the simplicity of iptables, but I may just be uneducated on the topic.
So... Does anyone have a suggestion for easily blocking a large list of malicious IP addresses on my home server? Is it feasable to do with iptables? Should I use a different firewall application? Is it even worth it, security wise, to block these addresses?
Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestions. I like the how ipset is a software companion to iptables, so I decided to use that.
...and OH BOY has it been hard to grasp. I think I got it, though.
Ok, so I have iptables loaded in my DAEMONS array. I created the directory "/etc/ipset/deny/" which now contains five files filled with lists of naughty IP addresses from here. I then created the script "/etc/ipset/init-deny" like so:
#!/bin/bash
# Create a set of naughty IP addresses
ipset create denyset hash:net -quiet
# Add the addresses to the set
for ipaddress in $(egrep -h -v -E "^#|^$" /etc/ipset/deny/*); do
ipset add denyset $ipaddress -quiet
done
# Tell iptables to ignore all addresses in the set
iptables -I INPUT -m set --match-set denyset src -j DROP
and call it from "/etc/rc.local". I think it works. (I can't ping any naughty addresses anymore) I think the only part I couldn't really understand was the match set line: whether I should use "--match-set denyset src" or "--match-set denyset src,dst".
I'd love anymore feedback about this setup, especially in regards to where would be the proper place to load the ipset commands. "/etc/rc.local" just feels clunky.
...also, FYI, for some reason the Arch Linux forums IP address (176.9.18.112) is totally in that guy's list of "exploited" IP addresses.

Mail error "Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.Select a different outgoing mail server from the list"

The Mail application has suddenly started giving error:
"Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.Select a different outgoing mail server from the list"
It was working fine till yesterday, suddenly it stopped. I have 3 email accounts configured here, 2 are on exchange servers and one yahoo. Connection verification works and shows all servers as green.
Any inputs?

I had 3 accounts, 2 ms exchange accounts and 1 yahoo. After removal of yahoo, everything is back to normal.

HT1694 how do I remove an email address from Mail that is not in my contacts list?

I have and E-mail address that comes up when I start typing an address into Mail when I create a new E-mail and this particular E-mails address is not associated with any of my Contacts.
How can I remove this E-mail address so it no longer appears?
Apple iPhone 4S iOS 5.1
thank you
Dave

You're welcome.
If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

Mail to a large number of

HI
I was wondering if there exists a software that handles group mails for a large number of recipients (like 400 adresses) at one time.
I think mail doesn't accept more than 50 adresses /mail at a time.
I used to use a PC based software called sarbacane designed for mass emailing (not spamming, that's understood .. !), with charts, statistics and remailing automatically to adresses that did not function etc ... does that exist for Mac ??
Thank you anyone who has the answer !!
Stephanie

Hello Stephanie
I do the same, and ran into the same problem. It was my ISP that was limiting how many emails I could send at once. I 'think' (because I'm not a tech person) that Mail takes the message and puts 50 or more address at the top. ISPs will see this as a possible spam mail out. I worked around this by creating groups of less than 50 email addresses (using Smart Groups), but after awhile it got very tedious having to sort and create criteria to keep each group to just less than 50.
There are commercial programs that manage large emailings. I use 'Mailings', and it works fine. I know that there are others as well. Most have a free trial version.
Instead of sending one message with lots of addresses, it sends the email multiple times - once to each person in your list. It takes longer (but it works in background, so who cares) but I have been able to send out to hundreds of addresses with no issues. Hope this helps.

How to send mail as a distribution list

I have created a number of distribution lists under the groups tab just to the right of mailboxes in the recipients section of the exchange admin centre in microsoft exchange 2013.
i have set permission on these mailboxes for send as to be permitted but when trying to send mail from outlook 2013, outlook web app or from ios i am unable to get the distribution lists email address to appear in the from list.
could someone please explain how i can resolve this for each of these 3 platforms?

Hi,
Great advice from Veerapandian.
Based on my knowledge, Distribution List is based on Outlook, Distribution Group is based on Exchange server. You can grand send as permission to DG.
Send as permission is a permission based on AD, please make sure the DG can be resolved from GAL.
Please run following command to whether set “Hide this group from address lists” attribution, if so please remove this setting.
Get-DistributionGroup | FL alias,*HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled*
More details about Configure Distribution Group Properties, please refer to:

When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all.

When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey Grupo Castillo,
Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

How to send 1 email to all addresses in Mails memory......

without using the address book.
Ya' know how "Mail" keeps all of your sent-to addresses, noticable when you start to type in an address and it finishes it.......
I need to send one "change of contacts" email to everyone who has sent and received an email from me. Any easy way to go about it?
Thanks Much!
Chris

Following on with Austin's reply, if you don't want to permanently add all those folks in Mail's Previous Recipients list to your Address Book, open up your home folder's Library folder's Application Support folder and copy your AddressBook folder to your Desktop. Then in Mail's Previous recipients window, when you select all entries and add them to your address book, and then in Mail, new message, address book, select all and drag everybody from the list into your To: (or maybe better, BCC:) field, and send your email.
Then throw away the newly modified AddressBook folder (in your home folder's Library folder's Application Support folder) and drag the wanted AddressBook folder now on your Desktop back into it's rightful place (into your home folder's Library folder's Application Support folder).

How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
regards
Brendon

Hi bmuur,
I also had the same problem.
I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
I then clicked create and it worked for me.
Hopefully this solves your problem.

Wrong Name Attached to Correct Email Address in Mail

I use Apple's Mail program to receive email from a couple of gmail accounts. I also use iCal to coordinate those same gmail accounts, plus a few work calendars. One of the work calendars is one called "Holidays in Canada," (just a calendar showing federal holidays in Canada, which are relevant to my job). In the last month or two, Mail has started to list my name on outgoing and incoming emails as "Holidays in Canada." This is very annoying!
I've checked my account settings and my contacts both on my computer and in iCloud, and I don't see the name "Holidays in Canada" associated with my email address anywhere. I'm particularly baffled because the calendar bearing that name originates from a totally separate email address than the one it has now been attached to. I disabled the "Holidays in Canada" calendar on iCal, but that doesn't seem to have worked. I'd really like to just get my incoming and outgoing emails to display my name.
Any thoughts? Thank you!

Re: Why is my email coming addressed to Holidays in Canada?

Want To Delete Incorrect Email Address In Mail.

I typed an incorrect email address in a new email.
I immediately corrected it, but every time I start typing the address, the incorrect one as well as the correct one appears.
I would like to delete the wrong one as I am worried that on some future occasion I might accidentally choose it.
Can it be deleted? (Note - it is NOT in my Address Book).
Ian.

Check the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients.
A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address.
You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered.

E-mail dispatch to distribution lists

Hi,
I followed note 834102 to dispatch email to distribution list in broadcasting (by Web Template) but it does not worked.
Instead the following error mail is received in the broadcasting customizer inbox:
'Mail could not be delivered'
Message from InterScan Messaging Security Suite ******
Sent <<< RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
Received >>> 550 no such recipient
Unable to deliver message to <[email protected]>.
Is anything else that must be done besides what note 834102 states?
Maybe something about persmissons ..?
I'll appreciate any help.
Best Regards.
End of message **********************

Thanks Ravi for your response.
No, no such kind of reasons.
Indeed I can send successfully to a simple email address but not to the distribution list ...
The problem is right there, in the fact that there is a ditribution list but I really don't know what's the problem ...
Have you ever use a distribution list? Any special thing to do with it?
A'll appreciate any help.
Regards

Can't delete email address from Mail

I keep sending emails to the wrong address as when I start typing a name Mail seems to bring up a quite random address for the recipient if there are several.
Not only does it not default to the last address received from/sent to but it will enter an old address that has been deleted from Address Book.
I can still see the deleted address in Mail when I click on the address button [tho it is well deleted in Address Book] and the only option in Mail seems to be to delete the whole card.
Any suggestions most welcome,
Colin

Colin,
Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.
