All outgoing mail marked as Junk.

My junk mail has gone crazy ever since I got my Intel iMac seven weeks ago. I tried the training feature, but it kept marking mail as junk after I'd changed it to not junk over and over and over again. Still does. It also marked every outgoing mail as junk mail.
After five weeks with no improvement, I switched the setting to Automatic, and I immediately got 932 emails in my new Junk Mail box, many of which I'd never seen before. Two weeks later, Mail is still sending previously marked not junk mail to my junk mail box and marking almost every email that I send as junk. It's supposed to exempt mail in which the sender is in my address book or in my previous recipients or is addressed to my full name, but it totally ignores that.
At the same time I got my Intel iMac, I set up my G4 precisely the same including Tiger and all sofware. Ever since I've had precisely the same problems with Mail on my G4.
How can I get the junk mail feature to work?

Thanks for your help, Allan. I downloaded Windows Media Player 9 on my G4 at home last night, and it solved that problem.
I knew about Flip4Mac, but I was hoping the vast collective wisdom of this group might have found something that works now on Intel iMacs. I’ve downloaded Parallels, but I haven't been able to download Windows Media Player in that yet. My issue du jour is that I can’t type anything in any browser window and their tech support isn’t responding to my emails.
When Parallels works though, it’s vastly superior to Virtual PC. I’m hoping the final version will have ironed out the Beta problems.
Thanks again.

  • Outgoing mail marked as junk when I migrated to Snow Leopard

    Had my mail set up on a G5, it was working fine. Now have a mac pro. I use the same mail settings, but my messages are being filtered out (by out provider - att) as junk by recipients in my own domain. No problem with incoming mail.

  • Adding disclaimer to all outgoing mail

    I would like to start adding a "disclaimer" or signature to the bottom of all outgoing mails
    eg
    Please note that the contents of this e-mail, including any
    attachments etc etc etc
    Is there a way of configuring postfix to do this for me without corrupting the outgoing mail.

    There is no easy and, most importantly, reliable way of doing this at the postfix level. Full stop!
    If you need this to be done, you have to do it at the client level (mail.app, squirrelmail, outlook, etc.).
    For the technically inclined: An e-mail written by a user on the mail client can be plain text, images only, html, contain attachments etc. Thus it is encoded (mime) and passed on to the MTA (postfix). To be able to add a footer at this stage, the MTA would have to decode the mail message, add a footer and re-encode the message. Besides the technical implications it will also be a performance hit on your mail server. Furthermore, chances are your mail will get messed up in the process.
    Look at the source of an e-mail with let's say attachments in Mail.app (View-Message-Raw Source) and you will notice that except for the headers, what follows is mainly gibberish (that's the mime encoded bit).
    For the not so technically minded and a good laugh, see here:

    You cannot, but you can delete the mail in your Sent folder.

  • All Outgoing Emails Marked as SPAM

    As of today, the primary PC we have used for years for our main .net account has all outgoing email marked as spam and blocked. Even single addressee, no content emails are bounced back as SPAM. I can still receive on the primary PC, and still send from other devices with the same account. I have deleted and re-added the account on the PC to make sure the server and port settings are current to no avail. Any thoughts on what might have happened?

    As stated in the Spam FAQ page, you will not get any response when sending the message to [email protected] for review. You attach the message that you are unable to send, and they review it. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the filter will either be updated to allow the content that was previously blocked, or it will be determined to be a legitimate block and no changes will be made.
    Some troubleshooting steps you can try:
    If you have a signature, try removing one line at a time from it and attempting to send the message again. Some signatures look like "ads" to the filters, apparently.
    If you are using a pop3 client (Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.) try sending your message from the verizon.net website. If this resolves the issue, then it is something that your client is adding to the message that is causing it to be blocked.
    If the Subject line of your message has a whole bunch of "Fwd: Fwd: Re: Fwd:" try removing some of them.
    Remove any links/URLs from the email one at a time to isolate if one of them is causing the block.
    Some people have suggested sending the message to [email protected] for investigation. This may work for you as well.

  • Dislaimer for all outgoing mails, excepting some domains?

    I'm still trying to add a Disclaimer to all outgoing mails. Actually, I need some help to add such a Disclaimer to nearly all outgoing mails, excepting some specific domains and for the right syntax:
    I know that I can add a message filter with the action 'add-footer' through CLI like this:
    if (recv listener == "OutboundMail" AND (not only-body-contains ('some unique text from my company disclaimer'),1)
    {add-footer('name of previously in GUI added dislcaimer-text');}
    else
    { deliver();}
    My questions:
    a) How can I prevent such a Disclaimer for every recipient in the domain "@company-without-disclaimer.com"?
    b) How should I write that for multiple recipient-domains without disclaimer?
    c) Is it important to write the listener-name and the disclaimer-name in the above code with ' (single quote) or " (double quotes)?
    d) Are the brace brackets {} set correct?
    e) Should I enter the entire disclaimer-text for the body-scan? I'm not sure if our actually one is 'unique' - maybe other companies has the same or a very similar one. Should I add multiple parts to looking for? How do you do that?
    Thank you for every help in advance!

    I can't figure out how to add the NOT-command.
    It works for me as written in my previous example.
    And could you please tell me something to my other questions c), d) and e)?
    "C" and "d" are very basic questions documented in the "Message Filters" section of the Advanced User Guide. Single or double quotes are both fine. The curly braces are probably OK as you've written them, but putting whitespace around them might be necessary (the docs don't say).
    As for the disclaimer text, that's hard to get perfect. It depends on your threat model. If you just want to be reasonably well assured that it gets put in, then pick out some bit of the disclaimer that is unlikely to appear elsewhere and check for that. But if you want to make sure that your own people can't spoof the process by embedding that bit in a message in order to avoid getting the disclaimer (not a likely threat in my opinion), then you'd need to check for the whole thing. Depending on how long it is, it might be safer to check for it piecemeal rather than all at once. I really can't say since I've never tried this. Or you could just add the footer unconditionally. At worst, you'd only end up with multiple instances of the footer in some messages, and it would only be in those messages which pass through your ESA more than once.

  • Has anyone solved the "all mail marked as junk" problem?

    Mail marks almost all incoming mail and all sent mail as junk. I've found some inconclusive posts on this but no solution. Can anyone explain (or, better) fix this problem?

    Hi
    have you read this thread? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=292113&tstart=100
    esp about disabling junk filter & quitting mail.
    You're using junk filter in automatic mode?
    anyhow - blank field spam does seem to figure in breaking mail's junk filtering. Are you able to create a rule using the applescript linked to in my previous post?. If so - create one & put it at the top of the rule list to weed out any blank subject mail.
    Still a problem?
    quit & restart mail - make sure junk filtering is enabled
    delete/empty the junk folder.
    Find the mail in your inbox that's marked as junk & move it to the junk folder ( select them all & drag , or messages-move from the menu )
    In the junk box, pick one of the moved messages & click 'not junk' - does it get moved back to the inbox? is it still marked as junk (assuming it did move back...)
    If clicking 'not junk' isn't behaving - select all the messages & move/drag them back to the inbox. Are they still marked as junk? (hopefully not)
    Repeat above with the 'sent' mailbox.
    Disable junk filtering in mail prefs
    quit mail & open it again
    re-enable junk filtering
    Any better?.....
    If you're still having problems - make a note of all your rules ( you 'might' have to re-enter them)
    Quit mail
    find the folder ~/library/Mail & drag a copy of the folder to the desktop (mouse + Alt) . Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist in ~/library/preferences/ & drag a copy of that to the desktop too.
    These copies enable you to restore your mail to exactly as it is now - in case anything went wrong in the next stage. NOT that I expect it to, having tried all these things on my own mail installation......
    Make sure mail is not running.
    go into the original ~/library/Mail/ folder & trash these two files - LSMMap2 and MessageRules.plist
    start Mail , go to prefs & make sure that junk filter is enabled for your account(s)
    Send a message & see if it's marked as junk.
    If you had a lot of rules & don't want to re-enter them manually - you can try quitting mail, replacing the MessageRules.plist file in the real Mail folder with the one from the copy made earlier & re-starting Mail.
    If sent/junk is fixed - remember it may break again with a blank field email.
    Sorry to write so much - but remember, I don't have the problem- so I can't test to see exactly what might fix it & just tell you the good bits.

  • All sent mail marked junk

    All my sent mail is marked as junk for some reason. I've reset the junk mail filters, etc., but it is still marked. Any ideas?

    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows to thoroughly get rid of all the files used by the junk filter, so that Mail creates them anew:
    1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
    2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    4. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. This file stores information about what does and doesn’t constitute junk, and allows the junk filter to learn. Deleting this file is what Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset does. The file was called LSMMap in early versions of Mail; delete that as well if you see it.
    5. Locate any MessageRules.plist (Mail 2.x) and/or MessageSorting.plist (Mail 1.x) files and move them to the Desktop. This is where Mail stores all the rules, including the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
    6. Locate DefaultCounts and move it to the Trash. This file keeps statistics about the number of messages that have been marked as junk, either automatically by the junk filter or manually by the user.
    7. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox or Junk.imapmbox folder within it, and move it to the Trash if present.
    8. Go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox mailboxes there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash.
    Note: Steps 7 and 8 may be unnecessary. Also, messages in Junk mailboxes with an .mbox suffix are stored locally and will be lost forever as a result of doing steps 7 and 8. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there that you want to preserve, either try skipping those steps, or move the messages to another mailbox in Mail first, or move Junk.mbox to the Desktop (to be imported back later) instead of to the Trash. Junk mailboxes with an .imapmbox suffix aren’t a concern because they are stored on the server and Mail would rebuild them automatically.
    9. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail or take Mail offline immediately after opening it, to prevent Mail from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
    10. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail and enable the junk filter.
    11. Go online again if you went offline in step 9.
    12. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
    If the above solves the problem and you don’t have any rules you’d like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, the files moved to the Desktop in step 5 can be deleted.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Trouble with all outgoing mail servers

    Was there an update that would have knocked out my ability to send outgoing mail?  I can still receive mail from gmail.com, live.com and a business email account that had all been working fine till about a week ago.  I had not made any changes, but have since changed the outgoing port to 587, to no avail.  I have also tried to Repair Disk Permissions using the Disk Utility.  However, I still am not able to get the smtp servers to connect. 
    Any ideas?

    I have cleared my outbox and resent a test email from one account to the other, which I know is receiving emails.  I am using the Apple Mail application, which had been working just fine with all 3 accounts for the past 2 years. 

  • IMS5.1 copy all outgoing mail to one mailbox

    Is there a way to copy all outgoing messages at the server level to one particular mailbox?
    Thank you in advance.

    Could you use an mta wide sieve filter that would forward a copy and keep a copy in the imap folder?
    i.e.
    If you want to keep a copy on the imap-server you can specify an explicit keep:
    redirect "[email protected]";
    keep;

  • How do you make all outgoing mail on iPhone come from one default address?

    I have multiple Apple devices which include laptop, iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s.  I use several email accounts for my business.  How do you make the default outgoing email address one the iPhones one email address like you can on the laptop?  I want the outgoing email address to be the same on all devices.

    Thank you.  I think I got it for the 4 but not for the 4S.  In mail, contacts, calendars, do you choose default account?  Also, there does not appear to be a choice like this for the icloud.  How do you change the default on it?  The best I can see is icloud to account to advanced to mail to icloud account information.  On that screen there is a box that says allow sending from and the only choices you have are the icloud account and me account.  I do not see how to add another account if that is the right section.  I don't want the icloud or the me to be a return address.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Unwanted iChat Icon on all outgoing mail

    How do I get rid of the rose picture from iChat which appears on every e-mail I send out?
    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   20"

    Hi
    Actually, nobody else is seeing that image; it only appears for you in your Sent Mail folder (just as contacts for whom you have set an image will show that image in their emails sent to you).
    The only way you can remove it is to delete the image from your "Me" contact in Address Book.

  • Mail puts all mail in the Junk mailbox

    I've been working fine with Mail for years. All of a sudden it started putting all incoming mail in the Junk mailbox, ignoring the filtering and sorting rules which I have set up in Preferences/Rules. I've poked around Preferences and everything seems to be as it was. I got rid of a lot of old mail. I rebuilt all my mailboxes. It's a pain to manually sort all my mail and even when I mark mail as "Not Junk" it still comes as Junk the next time.
    Frustrating! Any ideas???

    I ended up REMOVING the junk folder from the list of folders on the left. When mail arrives that IS junk, I mark it junk, then select "move to junk folder (again)" and off it goes. I find this much better than to have all my mail go to junk and I have to UNjunk it and move it to the appropriate folder.
    I wrote to Apple, but have not received a response -- I'm NOT holding my breath!

  • Load balancing outgoing mail with 3 outgoing servers

    We are trying to balance our mail out with 3 separate mail servers from our incoming server. Our organization sends alot of mail and we wanted to balance it with 3 outgoing SMTP servers. We have them all working, in the zone for the primary DNS and incoming mail server. And we can get mail to go out on the three servers, BUT and this is a problem if the mail includes any messages to the network (hence the incoming server) then the SMTP servers complain they cannot find it and give a error message about not being able to connect to deliver any local mails out of the bulk mail we send. Any ideas how to get the SMTP to see the incoming mail server (which is the DNS server for network) and deliver mail to accounts on the network? Maybe we are doing something that OS X SNL server cannot do? Any ideas.
    I will post the error message later but I need to leave for meeting for now.
    Thanks
    Russ

    Here is error message we get:
    Mar 17 21:34:45 mailout1 postfix/smtp[32307]: connect to mail.vineyardil.net [173.161.44.97]:25 Operation timed out
    Mar 17 21:34:45 mailout1 postfix/smtp[32307]: DE90A1AF591: to =<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=23732, delays=23701/0.01/30/0, dsn4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mail.vineyardil.net [173.161.44.97]:25 Operation timed out)
    To explain mailout1 is the first one in priority of outgoing separate SMTP servers we set up in the zone of mail.vineyardil.net which is the DNS server. They send out ok all outgoing mail to other addresses as we wanted them (rather than having mail.vineyardil.net do it) but when we send to an address with vineyardil.net on it then we get this same message.
    It seems like mailout1 cannot send to the incoming server. Note the ip address it gives is the ip of the cable modem on this network not the ip address locally in the net we have.
    Our MX records all look good and things work with mail if we use it both as incoming and outgoing (SMTP) but when we use the secondary servers for outgoing they seem to not be able to send to this server. Is there something we should look for?
    Is SL server not capable of what we are trying? Any feedback would be most appreciated. We would like to really use this setup as I explained to do load balancing of mail as part of our attempt on this new network to get our bulk mailing split up between the 3 outgoing servers so we will not be labeled spam by the security systems out there these days like it was on our old network.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Sender check for outgoing mail

    Hi,
    I want to enabled sender check on all outgoing mail. i.e ironport should check if the from address is listed in my ldap.
    This is required because spammer is sending mails by compromising legitimate users credentials and sending mail through out setup.
    all the spam mails which are quarantine on ironport are having invalid from addresses.
    Thanks in advance.

    Deploying SPF (Sender Policy Framework) might decrease such incoming mail traffic using your email domain namespace as forged senders in SMTP envelopes.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
    To deploy SPF using it's most strictiest policy, you must be able to declare legimate sources where the mail from your domain can be originated from. Ip source addresses, netblocks, FQDN names, reverse domains, etc.
    If you have one singe (or clustered) C-series mail router in DMZ and all the mail traffic from @yourdomain.com can be routed outbound fvia these C-series boxes only, then you can setup your SPF records that way, that only your C-series box(es) are legimate mail sources.
    If you use RFC 1918 private addressing internally, that's it.
    If you use public, routable ip addressing internally, you might need to add that network into your SPF record, but it depends how the mail traffic is routed there.
    The configure your Ironport C-series appliances using SPF. If you have inbound forged mail coming in and if the source ip addr of SMTP peer is not listed in your SPF records and if you use strictiest SPF policy, your C-series appliance will reject these inbound connections.

Maybe you are looking for
