Automatic Emails Being Sent Through My Account

I have recently noticed emails randomly being sent out to folks in my contact list that I did not personally send out.  Here is an example of the source of one of these messages (note that I deleted the actual email addresses in the from and to):

I have current antivirus software on the computers that I use to access my email, and I don't think I have a virus.  I do also access my email from my iPhone.
I would very appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening and how to stop it.
Thanks,

This happened to me four month ago. Change your password and the spamming will stop. Your password was probably figured out by robo-software. Make it harder to crack.

  • More Spam emails being sent from My Account again?

    Despite changing my password and security several times from a clean PC, delteing all emails from my BT account regularly including sent items and spam folders and trash folders.  
    At least a dozen or more friends and collages are still getting regular spam emails from my account.   I do not store any contacts in the webbased interface and don't even use the account these days so I "presume" that there is nothing I can do my end to stop theses emails being sent out from "somebody else".
    Any suggestions welcome.

    (One of many reasons I left BT).

    Your account was probably hacked sometime back along with many others and your contact list will have been harvested by spammers. The list is now available to the spammers to use at any time they wish.
    When they send spam to your contacts they are not sending them from your email account but rather they have spoofed your email address to make it appear it is from your account so that it fools your contacts into opening the spam.
    What you need to do is create a new email address, use one of your sub-accounts and then tell all your contacts that your "old" email address has been compromised and that they should treat any emails from it as spam and  delete them without opening them.
    Once you have done that, if you still have a BT account, you can then change your "New" email address to become your BTID and primary email account by logging into your MyBT and going to My Profie and changing the contact email address and username to your "new" email address.
    See link about spoofed emails addresses.

  • Email being sent through Facebook on iPad mini?

    Could anyone please help me to correct an email problem? Messages created in my email account are being sent via my Facbook account and my friends are only receiving my messages in Facebook. I have reinstalled the Facebook app but this did not resolve the problem. I think the problem may be with the way the email account was set-up.
    Help Please!

    Glad it worked out.
    FYI: there are settings in the Settings app for Facebook that control this.You might want to make sure they are turned off.Optionally, you can include the facebook email address in t contacts, but make sure they are not teh default. For myself, I have that turned off. Not a big facebook user and prefer to keep integration with other apps and the iPad at a minimum.

  • Emails being sent from my account that I did not ssend

    This morning I was sent an email wife's email account that she did not send, further, it has now been sent to her entire contact list.  How do I stop this.

    The problem is with your email provider. I suspect someone has hacked your account because  you use the same password for most of your online work. You should change your password and not use the same password for most of your on-line accounts, most  people are lazy and don't use different passwords because they can't remember them all. You should begin changing your passwords and using a password management tool to help you remember. If you need help choosing one Google "OS X Password Managers" to find some reviews.

  • There are unauthorised emails being sent from my emails accounts. This started recently following my iOS update to 5.0.1. Is this an iCloud hacking issue?

    There appears to be emails being sent out to random contacts from my shared address book with dubious content none of which were sent by me. I believe this was sent by unauthorised hacker from iCloud as the contacts are not even in my personal contact list, but came from my wife's contact list which have been shared via iCloud. Is there security breach issue with iCloud?

    I have the same situation (there seems to be lots of emails sent through my Icloud account. I don't see those emails in my "sent" folder, but I can see plenty of email (Chinese spam emails) bounced back into my account stating that I have exceded the sending limits. I cannot send anything either from my account (of course, the sending limit is alwasy exceeded). I have also changed twice my password, but the issue remains.
    Any clues?
    I am really surprised at this. I was from the begining with .Mac, and never had any issue during all these years. This is now with Icloud, which should be safer and better  :-(

  • I have 3 email accounts in Mail on Macbook Pro.  Mail is only being sent from 1 account.

    I have 3 email accounts in Mail.  Mail is only being sent from 1 account, even though I select one of the other accounts in the "from" field.  In my sent box, the "From" field says the accout I selected, but all recipients say they receive it from a different account.  I set my composing preferences "send new messages from" to the main account, but all my mail is still being sent from a different account.  I cannot see that this is happening, only people receiving it can.  I noticed it because when they reply, it goes to a different account than what I sent to them.  Any suggestions with what I should do?

    Thank you!  Funny.  I had just found that answer eleswhere:  http://simonwheatley.co.uk/2013/02/apple-mail-sending-email-from-the-wrong-accou nt/

  • All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.

  • Previously deleted emails being sent to my phone

    Replaced my old 3gs with a new 4. Set up my email account (BT). Started to get old, previously deleted emails being sent to my phone. Hundreds of the things. Please help.

    What kind of email account is this? Generally this only happens with accounts that you sync with Outlook. There is a setting in Outlook to add them. Most other mail clients will display a suggested list from previously written email, but will not automatically add them to the contact list.
    Are you actually seeing them in the contact list, or is it just that when you go to type another name in with a similar starting letter you are seeing the name? The iPhone keeps this in a cache in case you want to use them again, but they delete eventually. Or, you can delete them by starting the email out, then tapping on the to the end of the address and then deleting the suggestion.

  • Ironport C170 Blocks Emails Being Sent From SMTP Relay

    I have an issue with emails being sent out through our virtual SMTP Relay from a server on the DMZ. Any emails being sent to internal email accounts on our domain works fine. However the ones sent to external accounts are being rejected by the RAT. Here is a shot of the rejection message we are getting:
    29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
    Protocol SMTP interface Data 2 (IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx) from sender IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Reverse DNS host internal.domain.org verified yes.

    (ICID xxxxxxx) ACCEPT sender group UNKNOWNLIST match sbrs[-1.0:10.0] SBRS 0.4

    Start message xxxxxx on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx).

    29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
    Message xxxxxx aborted: Receiving aborted by sender
    I am new to the Ironport world so I am having a hard time figuring out how to allow for my SMTP relay to send emails to external email accounts. Thanks for any advice in advance! 

    It looks like the message should be arriving via SENDERGROUP RELAYLIST instead of
    ACCEPT sender group UNKNOWNLIST .
    Navigate to GUI --> Mail Policies --> HAT Overview
    Then click the RELAYLIST sendergroup
    Add the IP address of your sending MTA to this group, submit and commit changes.

  • Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

    I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

    I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

  • I am automating the process of sending appointment reminders to my clients. I started with an alert with an email in calendar using the clients email address as a custom entry in my me card in my contacts. this was resulting in three emails being sent wit

    I am automating the process of sending appointment reminders to my clients. I started with an alert with an email in calendar using the clients email address as a custom entry in my me card in my contacts. this was resulting in three emails being sent with slightly different versions of the same address (see my previous post). Heating someone else's suggestion I created a workflow file to send an email and calling that file from an alert on my calendar. This is working and sends only one email to the client.
    My calendar is on I cloud and I access it from three different computers so I can keep my appointment calendar current. The files that send the email only exist on one computer. My other computers show error messages when those emails get sent. It seems that each computer wants to send the email. It's a small problem but is there a way that I could not get those alerts.
    But appreciate any thoughts about this. It seems like both problems might be related to the iCloud system.
    Thank you in advance,
    Michael

    Good work, catch so far Michael, does seem to be a "feature" of iCloud syncing, not sure what you could do to disable it.

    I unplug my MacBook Pro from power and external speaker and I hear  incremental beeps and sounds as if email being sent. Doesn't' stop until I close email.   Not sure what is happening our what if any emails are being sent.

    You can install Temperature Monitor and have a look if the CPU oder GPU oder something else went to hot. The processor has a built in safety mechanism to shut down the computer before taking damage.
