Blocking a certain e-mail address?

Hi, this probably has been asked before ... but how do I block a certain e-mail address that keeps sending spam (always using the same address) on my mail server?
Preventing these mails to enter the mail queue would be optimal ... they seem to slow down the server enormously.
(I'm using a RBL).
Thanks a lot!

1. create a file /etc/postfix/bad_senders
2. edit the file and add the following:
[email protected] REJECT
3. save and issue:
sudo postmap /etc/postfix/bad_senders
4. edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add
checksenderaccess hash:/etc/postfix/bad_senders
to:
smtpdsenderrestrictions
5. issue:
sudo postfix reload

Mail doesn't send to certain e-mail addresses, receiving seems ok

I am using the latest version of the Apple Mail application under Leopard (with all updates downloaded). About a month ago I e-mailed a friend from my home account and unusually didn’t get a reply. I then e-mailed again a few weeks after, again no reply. After a phone conversation found out she didn’t receive either of my mails. This prompted many test e-mails, the outcome of which was the following:
1 - Was able to receive my friend’s e-mails, but if I replied using Apple mail (hitting the reply button), my reply never got back to her.
2 - Was able to send to and receive my friend’s e-mails using MS outlook from my place of work using a PC and my work e-mail account. No problems.
3 - Was able to send and receive to my work account from my home account using Apple Mail, no problems.
4 - Was able to send and receive my friend e-mails from my home account, using web mail rather than using Apple Mail.
5 - Could no longer e-mail my wife using the Apple Mail (and she could not e-mail me), we both use the same ISP. However using web mail rather than Apple Mail we could still send and receive e-mails from each other.
6 - Phoned my ISP, my account seems to be ok, which was also confirmed by using webmail as described in the previous two points.
7 - Other than the regular Apple updates the Mail app is the same client I have been using since I got my new Mac last October. I didn’t appear to have any problems until about a month ago and have made no changes to settings etc.
8 - When I do attempt to send e-mails to my wife or friend, I get the usual whooshing sound and a progress bar to show that the mail has been sent. The outbox is empty and the mail appears in the sent box, but never arrives to its destination. No error messages or e-mail bounce backs, nothing.
9 - Downloaded and installed Thunderbird, all the problems seem to go away – I can now send and receive e-mails from both my wife and friend.
It’s a bit weird that Apple Mail seems to have taken an aversion to sending mail to some particular e-mail addresses. Unless someone can explain what is going on here, I think that this is a serious problem. As I’ve mentioned, there is no hint that Apple Mail is not sending e-mail, as far as I was concerned e-mails were leaving my Mac. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there an easy fix?

I just did a quick test in InDesign CC and my one worked. Maybe you should delete the button and redo it.
By the way on a slightly different matter, do you know that to enable users to complete the form and store it on their computer using Acrobat Reader, you need to enable the form as follows:
Open the form in Acrobat XI and then:
File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes for fill-in & save). . . Your users will be able to fill in the form and save it (assuming they have the later versions of Acrobat Reader).
Make sure you keep a copy of your original PDF with a different file name as once you've created a Reader Enabled PDF Form you can't change it.

Can't send or receive mail from certain e-mail address...

Has anyone ever run into an instance where you couldn't send or receive mail to a 1 specific e-mail address? Even after adding the address to your contact list?
Here's my situation. There is one person that is trying to e-mail me, but no matter what they do the e-mail won't come through to my icloud account. I seem to be the only person that's not getting the e-mail and even if someone else forwards or replies to this person it won't work. The first time I noticed it was a thread started by the e-mail address, then forwarded to a bunch of people by someone else. Everyone on the list got the message but me and was responding.. eventually 4 or 5 responses down the line I got someone's response with the chain of e-mails in it. I've tried getting the e-mail forwarded to me by various e-mails. Seems hit and miss. I did find that if I got the e-mail sent to my hotmail account then forwarded to icloud that worked. Trying the same thing through my work e-mail did not. If I tried to send an e-mail to this person originating from icloud to this person and cc'd my work and hotmail account. I didn't get the e-mail in my work or hotmail account nor did the person receive the message. Sorry if this is confusing, tried to make it as simple as possible. Any ideas about what could be going on? Only thing that comes to mind is that there is something about the message that apple is flagging as spam/junk and it never makes it through. (Nothing comes into my Junk mail folder either)
Thanks,

checked the ip address of the computer when its connected to the router using the command promt.(example.....ip address: 192.168.1.100; Default Gateway:192.168.1.1).
Open an internet browser (ie, mozilla, netscape,etc.). Type at the address bar the default gateway (192.168.1.1). and you will see a username and password promt for your router. Leave the username blank and use admin for your password, if it doesn't work use the password you setup the router to..
Once you see the setup page.... you'll be at basic setup sub tab under setup. Look for MTU. Set it to MANUAL and LOWER IT TO 1300. Save the settings. Check your outlook if its working....If its Does't work do this
Go to Applications and Gaming tab.
Look for a port triggering sub tab. type it this way
Application NameTrigger Port RangeIncoming Port Range
application triggered range forwarded range
E-mai l25 ~ 25 113 ~ 113
forwarded range is equevalent to incoming port rage...
hope this will solve your concern....

I would like to sync using a certain e-mail address. I'm getting the message that I have made too many attempts to sync using the address?

I would simply like to use the same e-mail address to use the sync option. After using an incorrect e-mail, I deleted that account. I am now getting an error message that states I have made too many attempts to create an account using the e-mail that I wanted to use. Thank you.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

TS3899 How can I block an e-mail address on iPhone 5s? My ISP is unable to help. I can block via Outlook on my laptop, but they still come through on my iPhone

How can I block an e-mail address from sending me spam on my iPhone 5s? My ISP is unable to help. I can block on my laptop via Outlook, but they still come through on my iPhone 5s. Thank you very much.

You can "Move to Junk" and it should start doing it automatically after a few times:

How do I block unsolicited e-mail(s) from unsolicited senders? Why isn't there an auto option that simply pops up and asks if you wish to block this sender from future e-mails? I am so tired of my e-mail address being sucked out of a friends address book,

How do I block unsolicited e-mails from the sites that have stolen my e-mail address from a friends address book, and send me non-stop horrid e-mails. Why is there no pop-up to ask if "want sender blocked", to easily solve this problem? Seems like it would be such an easy solution to what must be a universal problem with these e-mail pirates.

It is frontiernet.com that would need to block the emails.
You can setup a Mail "Rule" to send email you do not want into the trash, or a spam folder, etc...
In fact, there is a Mail -> Message -> Mark -> as Junk Mail, which will train Mail to reconize junk mail and start to automatically move it to a junk mail folder.
You can put this option on the Mail toolbar via Mail -> View -> Customize Toolbar, and drag the "Junk" icon to your Mail Toolbar.
But of course Junk takes training. You can create a Rule to trash the emails you do not want right away via Mail -> Message -> Add Rule, or Mail -> Preferneces -> Rules

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
Apple Topluluk hoş geldiniz.

Eğer insanlar sizinle iletişim istiyorsanız, başkalarının profilinizde e-posta adresinizi görmelerini sağlar.

Ancak aynı zamanda kullanıcı Apple ile Apple ID ayrıntıları değişti ve iCloud hesabı için aynı değişiklik yapmamış ortaya çıkar / iOS 7 yükseltmeden önce cihaz üzerinde My Phone bul olabilir.
Tek çözüm My Apple ID de Apple ile önceki durumuna geri Apple ID değiştirmek için, değişiklikleri doğrulamak cihazınızda talep olarak, şifreyi girin ve sonra kapatın "benim telefon bulmak".
Daha sonra tekrar bugünkü durumuna Apple ID değiştirmek gerekir, bir kez daha doğrulamak cihazınızdan iCloud hesabı silmek ve daha sonra mevcut Apple kimliği kullanarak oturum açın. Son olarak, geri bir kez daha üzerinde "benim telefon bulmak" açın.

Block E-mail address

Is it possible to block an e-mail address meaning you send an e-mail to someone, and they do not know who it is from? I know this can be done by dialing *67 before the number (*67xxx-xxx-xxxx) and the number comes up as Blocked or whatnot, but can this be done for e-mail too?
Thanks in advance!
-thealexness

Each email must have an sender. There are several ways of faking them (and other meta information about the mail). However, I will not explain how to do this.
If you do not want others to know your real identity, create a new address at some free mail service provider and use this fresh address.

After changing my e-mail address, two iCloud accounts were created, my iphone is unusable due to password requests every few seconds and my iCloud account has been blocked. What can I do?

So, you are saying that you set up a brand new Apple ID and then signed into iCloud with it, correct?
Are you also saying both accounts are disabled for Security reasons? If not, why can't you sign on with the one that is not disabled?

Suddenly i can,t play certain songs from my libary as they are connected to an old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . How do i merge them together ?

I had this problem yesterday (or a very similar problem). When you click on your purchased song, an old email address (Apple Account ID) pops up and asks for an old password to authorize permission. It is very stubborn and does not really co-operate when using the usual remedies (forgot password - send me an email - what is your birthday, etc). I fumbled around and eventually got it all straightened out. I can tell you what I did - I cannot tell you what exactly worked. Access your current Apple Itunes account. Deauthorize all computers (up to 4 or 5 in total, I forget...) that can play your purchased music. Update your password. Close your account and Itunes. Open Itunes and try your new password. Now try the "old" music that would not play before - your "old" email/Account ID should still pop-up asking for a password. Delete the old email/ID and put in your current one. Then use your new password to activate. This should solve the problem of old ID / old Password / no permission. My apologies for the imprecise method, again I am not sure exactly WHAT worked here - all I know is that the Itunes Help sections and tutorials were good - but of no use in this case.
Cheers

I cannot block an e-mail address

Someone is sending spam using the e-mail address of one of my contacts and it goes to the SpamDetector folder. I entered the contact's e-mail address in the Email Settings/Blocking/Blocked Senders list and made sure the "Delete the email from the Blocked Senders list" option was selected, then clicked on "Save". I am still getting more spam even though the exact e-mail address the sender is using is in my Blocked Senders list. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much.

It's possible that the email address you're seeing the message originating from is "spoofed". In other words the email may appear to come from [email protected], but in reality it comes from [email protected] for example. The best way to test this is to setup another email address, using hotmail or yahoo or similar and see if you're able to block emails from that address. There are no known issues relating to the ability to block emails using the Verizon webmail. If you have any other questions, or want to discuss specifics, feel free to PM me. You can also reply back to this thread as well. Thanks!

Bypass spam filters for certain mail addresses

I am looking for a way to bypass virus checks on mail from a certain mail user (actually system mail sent from a process that we have, so we can trust it).
I have been playing with the @bypassspam_checksacl = qw( [email protected] ); entry in /etc/amavisd.conf but this doesn't seem to bypass as I would expect.
Does anyone know if this file might be over riden else where or perhaps if I can bypass in another way?
Cheers

Greetings
there is probably more than one way to skin a cat.
here is a postfix only method however i'm not sure if it will pass all before amavid. so see the snippit from the amavisd.conf below.
main.cf
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/spamlovers, .....
create a file call spamlovers
[email protected] OK
biggroup.net OK
that will prevent all subsequent anti-spam checks from being applied to
the listed recipient domains/addresses. in short - they want spam, let
them eat spam.
((snip)) amavisd.conf
# %bypass_virus_checks, @bypass_virus_checks_acl and $bypass_virus_checks_re
# lookup tables:
# (this is mainly a time-saving option, unlike virus_lovers* !)
# Similar in concept to %virus_lovers, a hash %bypass_virus_checks,
# access list @bypass_virus_checks_acl and regexp list
$bypass_virus_checks_re
# are used to skip entirely the decoding, unpacking and virus checking,
# but only if ALL recipients match the lookup.
# %bypass_virus_checks/@bypass_virus_checks_acl/$bypass_virus_checks_re
# do NOT GUARANTEE the message will NOT be checked for viruses - this may
# still happen when there is more than one recipient for a message, and
# not all of them match these lookup tables. To guarantee virus delivery,
# a recipient must also match %virus_lovers/@virus_lovers_acl lookups
# (but see milter limitations above),
# NOTE: it would not be clever to base virus checks on SENDER address,
# since there are no guarantees that it is genuine. Many viruses
# and spam messages fake sender address. To achieve selective filtering
# based on the source of the mail (e.g. IP address, MTA port number, ...),
# use mechanisms provided by MTA if available.
# Similar to lookup tables controlling virus checking,
# there exist spam scanning and banned names/types control counterparts:
# %spam_lovers, @spam_lovers_acl
# %banned_files_lovers, @banned_files_lovers_acl
# and:
# %bypass_spam_checks/@bypass_spam_checks_acl/$bypass_spam_checks_re
# (but no bypass_banned_checks, as $bypass_decode_parts controls it
already)
# See README.lookups for detailsabout the syntax.
# The following example disables spam checking altogether,
# since it matches any recipient e-mail address (any address
# is a subdomain of the top-level root DNS domain):
# @bypass_spam_checks_acl = qw( . );
# See README.lookups for further detail, and examples below.
# $virus_lovers{lc("postmaster\@$mydomain")} = 1;
# $virus_lovers{lc('[email protected]')} = 1;
# $virus_lovers{lc('[email protected]')} = 1;
# $virus_lovers{lc('some.user@')} = 1; # this recipient, regardless of
domain
# $virus_lovers{lc('[email protected]')} = 0; # never, even if domain matches
# $virus_lovers{lc('example.com')} = 1; # this domain, but not its
subdomains
# $virus_lovers{lc('.example.com')}= 1; # this domain, including its
subdomains
#or:
# @virus_lovers_acl = qw( [email protected] !lab.xxx.com .xxx.com yyy.org );
# $bypass_virus_checks{lc('[email protected]')} = 1;
# @bypass_virus_checks_acl = qw( some.ddd !butnot.example.com
.example.com );
# @virus_lovers_acl = qw( [email protected] );
# $virus_lovers_re = new_RE( qr'(helpdesk|postmaster)@example\.com$'i );
# $spam_lovers{lc("postmaster\@$mydomain")} = 1;
# $spam_lovers{lc('[email protected]')} = 1;
# $spam_lovers{lc('[email protected]')} = 1;
# @spam_lovers_acl = qw( !.example.com );
# $spam_lovers_re = new_RE( qr'^user@example\.com$'i );
# don't run spam check for these RECIPIENT domains:
# @bypass_spam_checks_acl = qw( d1.com .d2.com a.d3.com );
# or the other way around (bypass check for all BUT these):
# @bypass_spam_checks_acl = qw( !d1.com !.d2.com !a.d3.com . );
# a practical application: don't check outgoing mail for spam:
# @bypass_spam_checks_acl = ( "!.$mydomain", "." );
# (a downside of which is that such mail will not count as ham in SA
bayes db)
I'm sure anyone of these methods will allow the lovers of the blessed spam to fill their hearts content. Hope you have good hard drives

When signing in after I get my e-Mail address in the block how can I get my password to automatically fill in?

When signing in to the internet using Firefox when I type in the first letter of my e-mail address it brings up the entire address which I click on an it fills in the blank. On my laptop at this point when it fills in the e-Mail address it automatically fills in my password; however, on my desktop it does not fill in the password, I have to type it in. I use Firefox on my laptop also so I don't know why it works on one system and not on the other.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Richard Jakubec
