Bouncing mail

I want to set up a rule that will automatically bounce (and then delete) mail from one specific person. This is a known person, not a spammer. However, his mails are bugging the heck out of me and I want him to KNOW that his mail is being bounced.
Can this be done?

There is no rule criteria available with Mail to automatically use the Bounce feature on a received message but you can create a rule to automatically delete all messages received from a chosen email address which deletes the received message from Mail without being placed in the account's Trash mailbox.
If you have already manually used the Bounce feature on a number of messages received from this person and it didn't make any difference, I would automatically delete all received messages from this person via a Rule and be done with it.

Custom header reading of bounce mail

Hi,
When I send a mail to invalid mail address on gmail server, form the bounce mail able to read the custom headers using javax.mail api.
But when I send mail to invalid user on MS Exchange server, from the bounce mail I got, not able to read the custom headers using javax.mail. But the outlook shows (by looking at the option) the custom header is present. I think I may be missing some configuration while reading the mail from mail server using javax.mail. and not reading all the headers. (but its working with other email servers like gmail)

First, you need to understand that it's up to the
destination server what it returns, if anything, when
you send a message to an invalid address.
In this case, if sounds like the destination server has
returned a message that includes all the headers
you want to see, but you can only see them using
Outlook and not when using JavaMail.
Note that Outlook typically uses a Microsoft proprietary
protocol to talk to Exchange, so it's possible for it to
see and do things that are not possible using the
standard internet protocols that JavaMail uses.
You'll probably need to consult an Exchange expert
to see if there are configuration options that control
what information it makes available to internet
protocol clients in this case.

Tracking of Bounced Mails

Hi Friends,
I am using Solaris outside a fire wall.
I have a program which send mails to the receipients by making use of javax.mail package.
The question is the mails are going perfectly fine but sometimes the mails are not going and I had also checked with the network at that time and it is fine.
Now, I would like to track all the messages which are not sent and why??
Where can I get those messages?
I had checked the root mail of my solaris machine and there are no bounced mails.
If it comes to the root mail is there any way that we can forward those mails to our personnel id's so that we can send them again>
Regards,
Shankar Medapati

Hi Jay,
Thanks for the concern...
We r using the SMTP Server for sending mails.
The problem I am facing is the SMTP properties I am using could not able to send mails to the receipients with addresses involving "co.in","@co.name.com",etc.
But the problem I don't understand is when I send mails from the development environment where my app server and mail server are within the firewall there is no problem,but my app server resides outside the fire wall and my mail server resides with in the firewall. Please tell me weather there are any other settings to be done in the app server or mail server to handle this problem.

Bouncing Mail icon

Hi,
I feel silly- but I know someone out there knows this in a New Yors second!
I have a MacBook Pro - everything the latest. With "MAIL" - it used to be when I receive an email - the little icon in the dock bounced, along with the sound effect.
I zereoed my HD - reinstalled everything fresh - and now . . . NO bouncing icon.
I was kinda getting to like him, bouncing around excitedly - I feel like I've lost an old friend!
Anybody know how to get it to bounce when new emails arrive? Everything else, is fine. Is there a preference somewhere?
Thanks,
Larry

Hi Ferd,
Thank you for your response. It seems you are EXACTLY CORRECT! I hae a friend who works for Apple - if you're curious, he said this . . .
"Add a rule in your Mail preferences that can either be global for all new email or for specific emails. You can have it ignore the unimportant ones. The rule can be: if new mail received, then bounce mail icon in dock. As for sound that should just be the General preference for New Mail. You choose which system sound to use. Sometimes system sounds get funky, especially when using other sound sources sound editing/hacking software. This causes all system sounds to stop. You may notice trash not emptying or iChat not being audible for incoming/outgoing messages. To fix this, you need to open Activity Monitor app and force quit the coreaudio process. It'll auto relaunch and your sounds should be back.
Hope this helps,
M"
And this basically completely agrees with you! Thanks again - problem solved!
Larry

Can you disable the Bounce Mail confirmation?

I like the Bounce Mail function (although I wonder how effective it will be) but I hate having to confirm the command when I use it. Does anyone know if that can be disabled?

don't think you can.
hope this helps

I keep getting this message: Mail can't connect to the account: "Sbcglobal". Enter the password... So I do and it opens up, but later it will happen again. It's not earth-shattering, but I have to stop what I'm doing to get rid of the bouncing Mail icon.

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

Bounced mail in trash?

I noticed recently that the junk mail I "Bounce" goes to the trash. What is this about??? Does that mean it's not bounced but rather sent to the trash?

I thought bouncing mail meant that it was like it never got to my computer
Only apparently, and only if the bounce is received by someone that doesn't know how to interpret header information:
http://www.by-users.co.uk/faqs/email/headers/
http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html
So should I stop doing this?
Definitely. Even though the bounce apparently says that the original message was sent to an invalid address, anyone looking at the headers can easily determine that the bounce was created by a mail client and sent from a valid address, rather than created by the mail server as a result of the destination address being invalid -- you can check this sending a message to yourself, then bouncing it, then doing View > Message > Raw Source on the received bounce.

Mail Server Bouncing Mail

I am having a major problem since moving to 10.6 mail system. A lot of my mail is being bounced and never received, my logs are indicating this error,
NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail2.onlineregister.com[207.66.2.58]: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied;
This server still has 10.5 server on it's own RAID because I'm having to basically boot 10.5 up because that mail server works properly with no problems but I understand 10.6 has a completely different mail system.
Any ideas where how to troubleshoot, I have not made any DNS changes and set up this OS with the exact DNS info as previous so I'm stumped whats possibly configured wrong. I have read numerous threads on greylisting but is this cause of the problem, doesn't make sense to turn it off if it has a specific purpose.

Thank you.

I made a couple of changes to the main.cf file.
Before:
mydomain = mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost,
After:
mydomain = mydomain.ca
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, server.mydomain.ca
Now email from my work account are going through, at first I removed greylisting too but commented out the change and left it as default, still working but some emails are delayed which os ok,it's completely bouncing I'm concerned with. Time will see today as I have not been getting hardly an email which was unusual.

Bounced mail, how to fix iCloud "over quota", and I am far from it?

We switched from MobileMe to iCloud. Each of us have individual iCloud. Any mail sent to my wife is bounced, reason? Over quota! I have checked iCloud storage and she has 3.9 Gb available. Have tried every thing, even went to "Genius Bar" to no avail. Have been trying to call Apple for help, two time waited 20 minutes and got disconnected. Now my wife is using her G-mail with iCloud. Can't use iCloud. Any help will be welcome. Unless you have a solution, please don't bother.
Thanks.

Polly,
usually there are multiple models of MacBook Pro per model number, but in the case of your model number (A1502), there’s currently only one model for that model number: 13-inch Late 2013.
To reset your MacBook Pro, you’ll need to boot into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as you start it up. When the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk (most likely the top item of the list). On the right-hand side, select the Erase tab. For the Format dropdown, select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”. For the Name input box, “Macintosh HD” has traditionally been the default name — I don’t know if that’s still the case for the Late 2013 models. After that, press the Erase… button, and erase its entire internal disk. When it’s finished with the erasure, exit Disk Utility, and select Shut Down from the Apple menu. When you start it up again, OS X Internet Recovery will redownload Mavericks from Apple’s servers and reïnstall it on your internal disk. Once it has reïnstalled, run Software Update to get it up to date, and adjust the System Preferences to your taste.

Can I bounce mail from the web based mac mail?

Am starting to get some spam and rather than download to mail and then bounce I would prefer to bounce straight from my mac account on the web. Is it possible. Have looked but can see no icon or action to do it.
cheers

Never bounce spam! Spammers don't use valid return addresses, and a bounced message will usually further victimize the owner of the faked address. It will never do any good.

Tremendous amount of bounced mails in the mailq!

Hi! I've set up a mailserver which worked very fine for months. I used pterobytes guides for frontline spam defense which worked like a charm. But suddenly my mailserver gets overwhelmed with tons of bounced spam mails in the mailq (thus any incoming and outgoing mails get stuck).
See this log entry from mail.log:
+Apr 4 17:08:51 server postfix/smtp[56411]: DEF7D65B38D: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=3.4, delays=2.1/0/0.74/0.53, dsn=5.7.0, status=bounced (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 554 5.7.0 Reject, id=56473-06 - SPAM (in reply to end of DATA command))+
I am deleting the mails in the mailq periodically with +sudo postsuper -d ALL+ which is deleting about 10k mails every hour!
Anyone knows what has happened to me? Please help! (pterobyte, please! :-)) Here is my postconf -n:

1. This is spam which makes it into your system because you accept mail for unknown users:
luser_relay = quarantine
Unless you have a legal requirement, you should avoid accepting mail for unknown users. 99% of mail to unknown users is spam. The few legit mail with a wrong address should go back to sender so they know. Use Server Admin to remove it, so the setting in imapd.conf gets fixed as well.
2. You have set amavisd to bounce spam. NEVER bounce or reject spam. The sender does not exist anyway and you just drown in backscatter.
As a quick fix, edit /etc/amavisd.conf and change a few parameters to reflect the values below:
$finalvirusdestiny = D_DISCARD;
$finalbanneddestiny = D_DISCARD;
$finalspamdestiny = D_DISCARD;
$finalbad_headerdestiny = D_PASS;
$satag_leveldeflt = -999;
$satag2_leveldeflt = 3.0;
$sakill_leveldeflt = 7.0;
@localdomainsmaps = ( 1 );
Restart amavisd when done by issuing:
sudo /bin/launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amavis.amavisd.plist
sudo /bin/launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amavis.amavisd.plist
These values are a starting point to alleviate the issues you are experiencing. Once the situation is under control, you should adjust to your liking. For more info on the values, see here:
