Blacklist an address or bounce an email back - how to?

I'm used to a couple of email accounts that I've had through a 3rd party web hosting service (namecheap.com). Using their cPanel configuration panel I'm able to maintain a list of whole or partial email addresses as a blacklist, where any incoming emails that match the set criteria are intercepted and a message is sent to the originator ("This account is no longer active") then discards the message. I've found that this has worked quite well over the years at keeping unwanted originators from continuing to spam my email accounts. It seems as if it's so easy for someone who is really curious about another to search for and discover their email address, whether it's a simple search or through one of the person locator services like Intelius. At my age I don't want to be hearing from John at the bowling alley where I worked part time 40 years ago or Jane who still holds out hope that I'll take her out to dinner. :-)
I've recently set up an iCloud email account and would like to know how I can protect myself in a similar manner in iCloud. I've looked around and can't find anything that addresses this issue.
On a related note, I find that I haven't received a single email that I'd consider spam through my iCloud account. Is this due to some super spam filtering that Apple uses?
Thanks,
-Tod

Hey there Trishna51,
It sounds like you are seeing your photos grouped together by date, rather than the view you are used to seeing. From what you are describing, it seems like you are seeing either the Moments, or Collections view in the photos app. You can switch to the Camera Roll view in Albums located at the bottom of the Photos window:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Mail account screwed up after bouncing some spam emails back to sender

Alright, so I noticed the other day that you could right click on a spam message and bounce it back so it looks like you're not a valid email address. Tried it a few times and it seemed to work ok. They always bounced back to me since it probably wasn't the spammer's actual address, but anyway.
Yesterday I bounced a few back and the "Mail delivery" messages came back like they usually do. I deleted them. They came back...many many times. Sometimes they come back as new messages, sometimes they just magically appear back in my inbox after I've moved them to the trash.
The girl I work with bounced some messages (on a G4 tower) and her Mail is doing the exact same thing. There are a bunch of other PC's in the office and their mail seems to be working fine.
Now I know this may well be a problem with Dreamhost (the hosting company), and I've put in a ticket to them, but it really worries me the way my email account is acting; like it's corrupted or something. The webmail does work, but it's waaaay slow.
It's a POP3, and I have tried rebuilding the mailbox.

Why do you people keep bouncing spam?
If the bounce doesn't reach the destination, it's just a waste of time and bandwith, plus a source of problems, because in all likelihood it'll be bounced back to you.
If the bounce reaches the destination, then it's even worse, because you're either (1) telling the spammer that your address is valid and that you're willing to spend time on his/her/its junk, or (2) contributing to the spammer's effort by sending his/her/its junk to the innocent whose address was stolen for sending it (and who, in turn, might end up posting in a forum such as this wondering why does he/she receive bounces for messages he/she hasn't sent).
So what exactly is the point of bouncing spam? Don't you have anything better to do with your time?
OK, enough ranting. Back to the problem, you'll have to somehow remove the offending messages from the server first. After doing that, you'll have to re-create Envelope Index. Problem is, while re-creating the index Mail may choke on the messages you couldn't delete, so either be prepared for that or perform optional steps 1 and 3:
1. (Optional, but recommended). If this is a POP account, try to find in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/ the *.emlx files associated with the troublesome messages. Viewing the *.emlx files as List in the Finder showing the creation/modification date may help. Just identify them; do not get rid of them yet (you must quit Mail first).
2. Quit Mail.
3. (Optional, but recommended). If you found the troublesome *.emlx files in step 1, move them to the Trash.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
5. Locate the Envelope Index file and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate Deleted Messages.mbox, and move it to the Trash. I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
7. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

Hello, I am running Mac OS X 10.9.3. Someone has been pestering me with unwanted e-mail. There used to be a feature that allowed one to "bounce" unwanted mail back to the sender, a message saying they have reached a wrong address. How do I do that now? TY

It is not available in Mail any longer (for quite a while, now).
You can add a rule to have Mail mark them as junk, or you could possibly log onto your Email provider's web site and block that address.

First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab. Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours. Did you let someone else use your iPhone?

I just downloaded OSX maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending emails. How can I go back to old drag groups or addresses to the box?

I just downloaded OSX Maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending email. How can I get back to dragging groups or individual contacts to emails?

Starting to type a name and getting a list of matches is good but it's not a substitute for being able to choose twenty or thirty names from your address book and dragging them into the "To" field. Of course many contacts can be put into a group but I may want to send occasional emails to many people who don't fit any group, and there may be no need to create a group just for that email.
If you agree please send an email to apple feedback for Maverick OS X.

How do I "bounce" an email on iPad 2?

How do I "bounce" an email on iPad 2? Received a "phishing" email out of Ghana, would like to "bounce" it back to sender.
Thanx, P. Comeau

The current version of the Mail app on Mac OS X doesn't include a "bounce" feature either as it is largely useless. Most spam comes from either bogus address or ones that aren't monitored.

Blacklisted IP address?? Help!

I have been having many problems with mac mail - the most recent and most worrying that not all my emails are arriving at their recipients and not all emails directed to me are arriving to my account.
I use a .mac account as my main email. I also use this as my business address so it's stressing me quite a bit apart from making me look stupid to clients!
I have been emailing mac support over the last day or so and they have told me it is definitely not a .mac server issue ( despite I can see other people on the forums having similar problems!?)
but more likely that my IP addresses are blacklisted. It seems that this can happen if your IP is suspected of trafficing spam.
Not sure why then that I have been blacklisted as I only use my email for normal corespondance between clients and friends and rarely send out mass group mails and I certainly am not trying to sell viagra en mass!
( I use different IP at my studio & at home and it has been happening in both places )
I have checked if my IP addresses are blacklisted through a site called www.mxtoolbox.com and right enough it says they both are. I really feel a bit out of my depth here and not really sure what to do.
The website I checked on seems to have a section to unblacklist you by entering details etc though as I'm in the UK it's of no help to me being only for USA/CANADA.
Now I'm lost. Anyone please have any ideas what I can do to releave this? Is this in fact a legitimate thing that can happen? Is there a way to become unblacklisted...?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

perhaps i should note, i was out of town this weekend with my powerbook and need some technical assistance and i think some of my diagnostics were changed....i've had no problem connecting for the last month, just since i've been back...

I disconnected an email account from my iPhone 4- no longer receive the emails from that account on the phone BUT the address still appears on some outgoing emails? How can I stop that from happening?

I have not upgrade to iOS7. I've deleted an email account (gmail incase it makes a difference). The problem is that the ADDRESS still sometimes used despit the deletion. Now, one of the reasons I deleted it was that this address would "override" the address I was trying to actually send from even if I manually selected the other address. How do I get this completely disconnected from the phone without replacing the phone??

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My library will not let me access some tunes because they are tied to an Apple ID that is and old email address and that address is no longer valid. How do I access my music without the old password?

I can only access part of my Itunes library. Some of the music is tied to old Apple ID's that are email addressed that are not active. How do I access my music? I've tried everythign and been to the Apple store multiple times with no resolution. They suggested I call Apple support and have the security team assist. I can't get a hold of anyone in security and both times I called support they hung up on me mid conversation? Very nice...

Go to Settings, and then turn iMessage and FaceTime on if they are off. If they are on, then turn them both off, restart the phone, then turn them back on.
Go back to Settings > iCloud. Whether the current or old email address is displayed there, try your current password.

How can i change my old email address to my new email address

how can i change my old email address to my new email address need help please everything i try want work

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID. However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID. (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

PSE 11 setting up email in sharing sender verification is never emailed back to me.

How do you set up email photos in sharing I enter my email address and the verification code is not sent back to me for adobe email servive.

I’ve found it usually works best with web mail via Adobe after obtaining verification. I know some email services block bulk email completely and I’ve only tested it with Gmail which works fine. Should also work with other web mail e.g. Yahoo and Hotmail. Before you start it will help to check your internet security settings. If they are set to High, reduce the settings to Medium temporarily. Then follow these instructions.
1. Log in to your mail provider on the web and add the following email to your address/contacts book.
[email protected]
2. Open Organizer and on the menu click:
Edit >> Preferences >> Sharing
3. Choose Adobe Email Service from the client dropdown menu.
4. Add your name and email address to the fields provided and click OK
5. Test the system (first use only) by selecting a photo in organizer and choosing Share >> Photo Mail then click Next
6. Choose a contact then click Next
7. Click Next Step, then click Next - the sender verification dialog will open.
8. Check you have spelt your email address correctly and hit the Resend E-Mail button.
9. Go to your inbox (also check spam) and when the Adobe mailer message is received copy (Ctrl+C) the long verification code.
10. Return to the verification dialog and paste it (Ctrl+V) into the Sender verification field and click OK. Wait for validation confirmation then click OK to continue

NSP NW2004S Licensing -- never get email back

I've installed the Netweaver abap trial 3 times -- I've had to re-install each time as I never seem to get an email back for extending the license.
I've tried to apply on 4 different computers with 3 different email addresses (all valid including a Work one).
I can't see what I'm doing wrong here.
Re-installing isn't too much of a pain but I'd rather get a proper license extension.
Is there any ONLINE way of getting a license key
Cheers

In a few posts back, someone mentioned that going to the German site works (faster), maybe it will work for you:

Have an ipad, have been trying to seset my password, but when I do I never get an email back from apple to reset it.

Have an ipad, cannot update because I forgotten my password. Have tried, but have never gotten an email back for Apple. There is another laptop in our home, and the icloud email address had been taken off of that laptop. My ipad has the same icloud address, is that keeping me from getting any email from apple? My email address is not with icloud, but it always comes up with an icloud email address. Any suggestions?

If you aren't receiving the email (if you have a rescue email address on the account then that is the email address that you are likely to see for the reset email), and you can't reset the password by answering the account's security questions on http://iforgot.apple.com, then try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset the password.
