Adobe Forums being used to spam

Upon logging in at work this morning I got the following spam message from the Adobe Forums. The message came from someone named "lulishan" How do I prevent having trash like this mailed to my address? Some of these forums seem to be taken over by "script peddlers" and spammers. I couldn't find any contact info for a forum admin. I am posting this here because the message was in response to a question I had posted here.

  • Why are Adobe forums being shared?

    I'll admit I'm old fashioned and don't use or trust social networks much, but do we really need our requests for help with Adobe products being so easily shared with all of these companies? (Listed below, copied from the share module on the left of the content list) Is Adobe getting kickbacks from them or something? This seems to have no real benefit to the users of the help forums. If someone really wants to share a post, can't they just copy the url like we did in the good ole days before fbook? I don't remember anything in the privacy policy about my posts appearing on facebook and every other frickin social network on the planet.
    These forums should allow knowledgeable people to be able to easily find our questions AND be able to easily reply to them so we can get on with our work.
    Lose the stupid social and share crap already and focus on a forum that works properly.
    [links removed by moderator]

    Yea, I'm guessing probably to many links and they didn't want to check them all out as being safe or something. Okay I get that. But maybe just strip the anchor tag and leave the text next time? Kinda lost my entire point without them.
    I know the posts show up on google, I use that resource to find answers and have no problem with that, but I've never even heard of 1/4 of these so called social sites. One of my concerns is that if someone answers a tough question that started here at one of those sites then we could be left for weeks, months, etc. without an answer to something we are following here, unless of course you also follow that particular site.
    The share module is up right of the first post. Click the more link to see them all. I've copied those 300 companies/links again and will try to paste again as plain text. Sorry they were all bunched together, I separated a few and stopped cause it's taking so long. But this gives you an idea of what i mean. To be fair not all are companies, i.e. print, mail, etc. It just seems like a fad to add these social plugins to sites and I don't get it. I hope it wont hurt the function of the forum just so fbook and twitter gets more hits.

  • Is my mail server being used to relay spam?

    I've just setup a new OS X server (10.5.6). The only two services I have running are mail and web. The web services seem to be running well. However, mail is giving me problems. Specifically:
    I have "Relay" set with two ip addresses. The first is localhost: 127.0.0.0/8 and the other is: 216.23.173.96/28 which is the ip network my server is on.
    However, when I look at my SMTP log - set to "debug" level - it shows lots of mail activity including this entry:
    "Apr 23 19:53:34 MMcolo postfix/smtp[39718]: DBEAE98602: host g.mx.mail.yahoo.com[206.190.53.191] refused to talk to me: 421 Message from (216.23.173.107) temporarily deferred - 4.16.50. Please refer to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html"
    That url takes you to a page that states that my mail server may be being used as a spam server, so I can't send mail to yahoo accounts.
    The logs also show multiple attempts to connect to a variety of different domains. Since I'm the only one with an account on my server and I know I'm not sending those emails, it makes me concerned. Anyone have any suggestions or advice?
    Thanks in advance,
    John

    I just went through this when I migrated to a new ISP. However, it was Comcast that was blocking me with a similar message. We thought our ISP had provided clean IPs. So I called Comcast and they were actually very helpful. Found out that in addition to some blacklist providers (spamhaus, etc) they are also using senderscore.org and trustedsource.org.
    Turns out the block was due to the IP being listed as malicious on trustedsource.org. Got a new block from my ISP and all is now good. (trustedsource shows as unverified for the new, but that's ok with Comcast). From what I see unverified is the standard state for very low volume sites. There are some other sites for this "credit" score as well. senderbase.com is another (based on Cisco's IronPort).
    So I would follow the link yahoo gives and select the part that says to send yahoo the messages and let them help diagnose the problem. If they're willing to help, use that.

  • Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

    Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

    For full details on cancelling a membership and subscription see the following page:
    Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
    Depending on where you are in your subscription cycle / membership and the type of membership
    If you have an individual membership, and opted for the annual membership (lower monthly fee). If you are cancelling in the middle of your membership, then you would be billed 50% of what's left of your membership for the remainder of the year, basically that would then in $$s become more like having taken out a month-by-month membership (higher monthly membership fee).
    If you are in the last month of your annual membership or your are on a month-by-month membership, you can log into your creative cloud account, cancel the plan yourself (no additional charges apply), by logging in with your Adobe ID and password, click your name in top left of screen and click on Manage Account.

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

  • Adding a tint swatch of a color if the tint is being used? [JS][CS5]

    Hey there, I'm totally new to this scripting stuff and I've already pieced together a few scripts and much to my surprise it seems to be working!
    There is one thing I cannot find out how to do, though.  I think it would be possible.  Anyways, I'm looking for a script that will add a tint swatch of a color if the tint is being used.  So, say I have color1 in my swatches that is being used in the document and also in the document a 25% tint of color1 is being used.  I need the 25% tint to be made into a swatch as well.
    Is there a simple way to have a script "read" the document for unused tints and add them as a swatch?
    This is what I have pieced together for my script so far.  It is basically all from these two threads.

    Rich Black has a nice pop for some things. In inkjet printing that doesn't reseperate blacks into a CMYK build on their own I generally like to set blacks as rich when printing to any substrate that isn't paper to reduced appearance of banding which most inkjets produce.
    Apparently adding only a bit of cyan isn't uncommon, though I generally have been accustomed to using a full CMYK black to build mine. Some use a 50-50-50-100 build, but I generally do a 50-40-40-100 to keep ink density a bit lower and it creates the same effect.
    I think you don't want to generally go over 280% ink density on much coverage when printing digitally on toner based copiers and digital presses, as the fusers can't get that much ink to adhere on coated stocks without a bit of flaking. Toner is supposedly a bit richer than printer inks, but I think largely the reason is inability for fusers to get hot enough to fuse without affecting the stock with either page curl or flat out charring coated stocks.
    If you are sending something out to a printer you have no control over (i.e. can't fire them in the case of a magazine or trade pub) and they have poor registration it is best to just give them straight black, as out of register rich black looks powerful bad.

  • How to get table and column names thats being used in SQL , that's generating all my reports on SSRS.

    Good day,
    I searched through the forum and cant find anything.
    I have around 300 published reports on SSRS and we are busy migrating to a new system.
    They have already setup their tables on the new system and I need to provide them with a list of table names and column names that are being used currently to generate the 300 reports on SSRS.
    We use various tables and databases to generate these reports, and will take me forever to go through each query to get this info.
    Is it at all possible to write a query in SQL 2008 that will give me all the table names and columns being used?
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
    I thank you.
    Andre.

    There's no straightforward method for that I guess. There are couple of things you can use to get these details
    1. query the ReportServer.dbo.Catalog table
    for getting details
    you may use script below for that
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/42440a6b-c5b1-4acc-9632-d608d1c40a5c
    2. Another method is to run the reports and run sql profiler trace on background to retrieve queries used.
    But in some of these cases the report might be using a procedure and you will get only procedure. Then its upto you to get the other details from procedure like tables used, columns etc

  • Server 2012 R2 SMB - The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.

    Hi,
    We are having issues with Server 2012 R2 SMB shares.
    We try to write some changes to a file, but we first create a temporary backup in case the write fails. After the backup is created we write the changes to the file and then we get an error:
    The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.
    It looks like the backup process keeps the original file in use.
    The problem doesn't always occur the first time, but almost everytime after 2 or 3 changes. I have provided some code below to reproduce the problem, you can run this in a loop to reproduce.
    The problem is that once the error arises, the file remains 'in use' for a while, so you cannot retry but have to wait at least several minutes. 
    I've already used Process Explorer to analyze, but there are no open file handles. 
    To reproduce the problem: create two Server 2012 R2 machines and run the below code from one server accessing an SMB share on the other server.
    Below is the code I use for testing, if you reproduce the scenario, I'm sure you get the same error.
    We are not looking for an alternative way to solve this, but wonder if this is a bug that needs to be reported?
    Anybody seen this behavior before or know what's causing it?
    The code:
    string file =
    @"\\server\share\test.txt";
    if (File.Exists(file))
    File.Copy(file, file +
    ".bak", true);
    File.WriteAllText(file,
    "Testje",
    Encoding.UTF8);
    The error:
     System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.

    Hi,
    There is someone else having the same issue with yours. You could try code in the article below:
    “The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process”

  • How to search stored procedures being used by rpt files?

    Dear all,
    I have a lot of rpt files, each of them at least use one stored-procedure.
    If I want to know a specific stored-procedure is being used by which rpt files,
    is there any fast methods rather than opening the rpt files one by one to check manually?
    Thank you very much!

    Try one of the 3rd party report documenters, such as Report Miner. Not sure, most do a crappy job about returning the data source...
    Another means would be to run a trace on the database and execute the reports, which is pretty kludgy as well.
    I put documentation into every report, so that exporting to report definition supplies this info.
    A good tip is to add a suppressed report header section and place documentation, revision history, etc., in there.

  • I cant figure out what is wrong i keep getting this an OIEception that says "{"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."}

    I am trying to move a file from a folder to another folder.
    here is my code:
    //storage of the all files
    string[] folderContentNames = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\Jonah\Desktop\Test Pictures");
    private void historyPictureBox_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    destinationFile = @"C:\Users\Jonah\Desktop\Test Test";
    File.Move(folderContentNames[1], destinationFile);
    updateListBoxFileName();
    updateImageBox();
    each time I hit the bolded underlined part I get that error message.
    if you need anything else just ask.
    Thanks in advance,
    Thor Orb

    Hi Thor,
    If you want to move a file from a folder to another folder, I think you could get the sourcePath and TargetPath. The code below shows a simple demo:
    string[] folders = Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\Test\VSC#\01\WindowsFormsApp\WindowsFormsApp\Test");
    string desFile =Path.Combine( @"D:\Test\VSC#\01\WindowsFormsApp\WindowsFormsApp\Test - Copy\"+Path.GetFileName(folders[1]));
    File.Move(folders[1], desFile);
    In addition, the link below might be useful to you:
    # How to: Copy, Delete, and Move Files and Folders (C# Programming Guide)
    >> The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
    The message seemed that the file was opened in other process. Did you operate the file with other code?
    I think you could check if the files and the folders were opened, and review your codes if they were used in other places.
    If you have any further questions, please feel free to post in this forum.
    Best Regards,
    Edward
