Can I Stop Notification Mailer from Responding to Bad Emails?

Is there any way I can stop the Workflow Notification Mailer from responding to emails that he is unable to process? Sometimes emails may get sent out to email addresses that are no longer valid or no longer exists. Maybe the person left the company, the address was put in wrong, etc. This causes a situation here that is getting the system administrators rather annoyed. What's happening is this:
1. Notification Mailer sends an email to an email address.
2. That email address is invalid or doesn't exist so a return message is sent back to the mailer indicating this.
3. The Mailer doesn't know how to process this so he sends a message back to the UNIX mailer-daemon.
4. Any message to mailer-daemon really goes to root.
5. Any message to root, since this is a production system, gets forwarded to the sysadmins which fills up their mailbox with these emails!
Has anyone else experienced this and do you know of a way around it?
thanks...

Yes, you can use the tag file for the Notification Mailer to specify how your mail system identifies bounced, undeliverable,
or otherwise invalid messages and how you want the Notification Mailer to handle those messages. For example, you can
have the Mailer discard the invalid message and continue waiting for a valid response, or initiate an error process. The tag file
lists strings of text found in unusual messages and the status you want to assign to a message response if it contains any
of those strings. Use the TAGFILE configuration parameter for the Mailer to specify the location of the tag file.

  • How can I stop my mail from recycling?

    Something happened with my work mail account and the mailbox was rebuilt.  On my home pc the mail account is not synching up and it appears to be in a continuous recycling mode.  I am unable to send any messages.  Incoming mail is being received from my other accounts.  I am also having problems with my id to y cox account.  The system is asking for credentials again I enter them but for some reason it is not working.
    So my question is if I can't get it to stop- How can I delete the mail account and then re-state it?

    When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

    It looks like your password is stored in the password manager.

  • TS1627 How to Stop Mac Mail from Commandeering My Preferred Email Account

    For email, I prefer my Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but when I click an email address online, my Mac's Mail program automatically comes up, as if I want to use it to send my email. It also starts downloading my latest email. I frantically shut it down while trying to memorize the email address I want to send a message to using another of my accounts. I do this because when Mail downloads my email, the same new messages in my other accounts get changed from "unread" to "read." How do I stop Mail from being my default for outgoing mail when clicking on email addresses found on webpages and commandeering my incoming email?

    Try, after a back up, deleting the account and re-creating it. You can also try contacting Yahoo, I have Yahoo and have had "weird problems with them". Deleting and re-creating has solved my issue in the past, try it and contact them.
    The problem is on their end, in my experience.

  • How can I stop apple mail from autosaving drafts?

    Hello all,
    I have finally got myself a new computer and been immersed in the "new" way- my old mac was a bit like a volkswagen beetle, old and cranky but very efficient.
    This new interlaced madness is proving to be very confusing on many levels but here I will state one problem I am seeking a solution to:
    Apple mail autosaves  a copy of my email reply drafts every 30 seconds in my apple mail draft folder. - This means many copies are saved!!!
    How do I stop this?
    The reason I ask this is for the following reasons:
    1- If I don't send my reply after 30 seconds I have to manually delete the drafts.- I didn't know this until I was doing a little organising and have realised that I have quite a few drafts of the same message lying around in my google on mac (imap) "all mail" folder and these end up taking alot of space.
    2- These then get transfered to my google mail "all mail" folder and end up taking up more space.
    3- Manually deleting things from my google on mac "all mail" account is a pain in the *** because I need to delete it into the googletrash on mac and not any other deleting area. (unless I do it directly from gmail) I didn't know this until I had a read through google- the "all mail" archive is another pain in the ***.
    I was deleting these messages from my mac "all mail" mailbox and they just magically reappeared into the same "all mail" mailbox, meaning they are downloaded from the server continually- I hate to think how much more that adds to data roaming.
    Possible solutions I have tried out:
    1- uncheck the "save draft on server" box in mail;preferences;mailbox behaviour (and saving it) - I did this and tried to write a message and there it appeared as each 30 seconds passed
    2- change the mac mailbox behaviour settings to gmail Imap settings for apple mail and save these- as above, I wrote a message and it still appeared in my drafts folder, new, message appearing every 30 seconds.
    3- uncheck the "use idle command if server suppors it"  box in mail;preferences; accounts;advanced (as someone mentions in another forum) and the message still autosaves.
    HELP!
    1. This seems to be common with most people
    2. I am using gmail and IMAP on mac book pro 2012 10.7.4, lion
    3. This never happened with my volkswagen which was also a mac but from 2006
    4. Some people say this is Imap related. I have only noticed it with this apple mail and have read it has been happening to people since 2008.
    5. Look forward to new solutions

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

  • How can I stop Apple Mail from scrolling to top as image loads?

    Hi, I receive a daily email that includes dozens of inline images (it's the TechCrunch daily email, FYI). When I open it in Apple Mail, every time an image loads, the scroll bar jumps back to the top of the email. This effectively makes it impossible to read any of the email until after all the images load, since as I start to read it from the top, a moment later (as the next image down further in the email loads), it jumps me right back to the very top of the email. The only way I can read the email is to open it in Apple Mail and then sit there for a moment until all the images load. (I can't even switch to another window or put that email window in the background-- Apple Mail apparently is smart enough to not load images when the window isn't front-and-center.)
    Needless to say, this is a super-annoying issue I haven't ever seen this in any other email program and I think it definitely counts as a bug (or at the very least, a supreme, supreme annoyance).
    Anyone else seeing this, and/or have a solution?
    Thanks--
    Eric

    This is happening to me too, and I have had enough of it! I never got around to complaining about it, and I suspect many others are the same way. However, I think it is fair to call it a 'bug' and that apple should make a statement or fix about it

  • How can i stop attached photos from being in the email body?

    I try to send pics often to places for printing and icloud puts them into the body of the email instead of as an attachment. THis can be quite annoying. Advice pleas,   Thank Carol

    When sending from your Mac, when composing the email click on Attach.  In the choose file dialoge, try checking the box that says "Send Windows Friendly Attachments".  From you iOS device, this happens automatically.
    The message may still look as if the photo is embedded rather than attached, but on a Windows computer it will appear as an attachment.  (On a Mac it will appear to be embedded but the attachment can be saved by control-clicking on the image.)

  • How can I stop my iPhone from texting to an email address instead of a phone number? It is not an iMessage account.

    My phone will select an email (not an iMessage account) to send a text to instead of sending it to the phone number.  At times it lets me select one of the two but often does not. Especially in group messages.  Any suggestions? It is getting really annoying.

    I agree that it is a hardware issue and I would have replaced, but losing service was something I just delt with over the years, but now with iOS 8, its becoming a problem. Plus with the release of the iPhone 6...
    I just thought I missed a software setting that would block activating on Cellular Data or something similar to that.

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.
