Chain mail, hoaxes, jokes - spam by any other name

Just below spam I despise the glut of junk email we get. Chain emails 'send this stupid joke to everyone in your address book!', hoaxes, and stale internet jokes all are nearly as aggravating and prevalant as classic spam.
How about teaming up with Snopes.com and/or BreakTheChain.org to create a security service like anti-spam for this junk that promotes click-happy social engineering?
I have spent untold hours developing policies for these junk emails. I think it would be a great feature and one, if effective, I would gladly pay for!

I have started warning the senders of these emails, and after two warnings I bounce all emails back to them. I have a lot of keywords flagged and some are bounced on the spot. This has cut down tremendously on the junk we get. Also I think it is good to stop these senders as they are clearly the ones susceptible to social engineering exploitation.
I sent this as a feature request through my appliance and obviously they did not understand the problem from the response I got: "Actually I think IronPort has already created a proprietary solutions for detecting spam."
Anyone who has this problem please send this as a feature request to Ironport. I think it is an overlooked problem that would prove beneficial to all to address.

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

Siri wont call me by any other name

Sir will not call me by any other name than Will on my new iphone 5. Anytime i ask here to call me anything else whatever it may be she says "Sorry Will, i cant do that". why is this?

What name is Siri giving? Is this the name used in the primary contact?

Bootcamp by any other name would be as tough

For what reason did Apple name its Windows compatibility software platform "Bootcamp"? What connection has Bootcamp with Windows or Windows compatibility?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
some thoughts about the 'name' BootCamp: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/ByteOfTheApple/blog/archives/2006/04/bootcamp_--wh.html
And this one:
Lastly, on our staff mailing list, Apple's choice of the name "Boot Camp" prompted Geoff Duncan to riff on the notion of a stereotypical Army drill sergeant addressing a fresh crop of Windows switchers. We couldn't resist sharing. Enjoy!
"Think you're good enough for this computer, MAGGOTS? You are NOT! Did you HEAR me? You are NOT good enough for this computer. The only way - and I repeat, the ONLY way - you simpering short-haired pencil necks will be good enough is if every REAL computer user on this planet were abducted by aliens!
"WHAT?! You think that's FUNNY, Windows-boy? When I WANT you to laugh, I'll make a cute sound!
"Now then, since you WORMS are all we've GOT - " (Paces the line.) "What does Control-Alt-Delete do?"
THERE IS NO ALT KEY, SIR!
"I can't HEEEAR you!"
THERE IS NO ALT KEY, SIR!
"Where is the menu bar?"
TOP OF THE SCREEN, SIR!
"What are computers for?"
BUYING MUSIC, SIR!
Taken from here: http://db.tidbits.com/article/8494
To my knowledge there is no official statement from Apple why BootCamp, so feel free to make one for your own
Have Fun

How can I get Thunderbird to search the Junk Mail folder as it does any other folder?

Just noticed that Thunderbird's global search seems to omit the Junk folder. I assume this must be a problem with my configuration. Junk filters are not perfect and inevitably some "good" email ends up in the Junk folder at least temporarily. Therefore if I am searching all my email for something, I need that search to include the Junk folder. But I can't find the setting that would make this possible. Help, anyone?

I appreciate the 108 "views," but there weren't any replies, so I took another shot at figuring it out. I did a CMD-I on the Shared folder, and made the "everyone" group have read-write access, and it worked! I'm not sure if its because now all groups have read-write access, or just because the "everyone" group does, but I don't care at this point. I'll have to restrict a few folders within in there, but at least it searches the main Shared folder itself now.

HT1535 i cannot get to a screen that says library and my IPOD only shows 1 song when there are many more. My IPOD does not show upas a adevisw under my, or any other name really ready to toss it out the door.

A font by any other name...

Working in Adobe Illustrator CS 11.0, with Mac OS 10.4.11.
When I choose a font, the font list appears with three types of icons next to the font name -- one looks like a the letter "T" (blue with a grey shadow), one looks like an italic "O", and the third looks like a red, lower-case "a". What are these three types?
Many of these fonts (the "a" type I believe) show up in the Ilustrator list and are usable, but do not show up in the MS Word or AppleWorks lists. Why is that?
Marc

A = Adobe postscript font
T = TrueType font
0 = Opentype font
Word and Appleworks may not have support for Opentype fonts and it's entirely possible that many of the truetype fonts you have were grabbed from one of those "5-bazillion free font" sites and are constructed poorly.

I accidently deleted a voice mail message. Is there any way to retrieve it? I was told I had to talk with technical support to reset the password to my voice mail. Can someone tell me how to do this? When I call, I can't understand the other person

I accidently deleted a voice mail message. Is there any way to retrieve it? I was told I had to reset my password since I entered the wrong one three times.

Depends on your carrier. You'll have to contact your carrier for how to do this. (This is for AT&T: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=52649#fbid=WLddP4KyTAu.)

How do I change an Apple ID payment method to 'None'? I've tried everything and the only solution is to get a new e-mail and start all over again. Any other options?

How do I change an Apple ID payment method to 'None'? I've tried everything and I found the only solution is to apply all over again with another e-mail address. Any other options?

Buy an iTunes Music Card and redeem it to your account - the "none" option should be available then.

I cannot open any of my Hotmail e-mail messages, delete them, look at other ones, nothing. All I can do is sign in and that is it.

I cannot open any of my Hotmail e-mail messages, delete them, look at other old ones, nothing. All I can do is sign in and that is it. I have tried deleting cookies, clearing the cache space, rebooting the computer, rebooting my internet connection, refreshing the page several times. Here is the thing. I can get on the page and read my mail, etc. like normal if i use Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox. The problem is Firefox and I rely on my e-mail for job purposes. I hope someone can help me!!!

Nevermind. I finally found a third party answer and will post it for anyone else with my problem.

Hi,
Depending on what attributes you want.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
#From a txt file
$USERS = Get-Content C:\Temp\USER-LIST.txt
$USERS|Foreach{Get-ADUser $_ -Properties * |Select SAMAccountName, mail, XXXXX}|Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\USERS-ATTRIBUTES.csv
#or from a csv file
$USERS = Import-CSV C:\Temp\USER-LIST.csv
$USERS|Foreach{Get-ADUser $_.SAMAccountName -Properties * |Select SAMAccountName, mail, XXXXX}|Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\USERS-ATTRIBUTES.csv
Regards,
Dear
Gautam Ji<abbr class="affil"></abbr>
Thanks for replying I tried both but it did not work for me instead this command which i extended generated nice results
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Property * | Select-Object Name,Created,createTimeStamp,DistinguishedName,DisplayName,
EmployeeID,EmployeeNumber,Enabled,HomeDirectory,LastBadPasswordAttempt,LastLogonDate,LogonWorkstations,City,Manager,MemberOf,MobilePhone,PasswordLastSet,BadLogonCount,pwdLastSet,SamAccountName,UserPrincipalName,whenCreated,whenChanged
| Export-CSV Allusers.csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
only one problem is that Manager column is generating this outcome rather showing exact name of the line Manager .
CN=Mr XYZ ,OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=Departments,OU=Company ,DC=organization,DC=com,DC=tk

With the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.

HT5225 use a imac os x 10.4.11. I can't access my mail as of late yesterday. Is there a system problem or can I now longer use my .mac email address. I do not have any other device including a phone. thanks

I reset the password. As you instructed, but that was not enough to solve the problem.
To solve the problem I also did the following:
For my user name I included @me.com., but I'm not sure that made any difference.
I think the key to solving this was that I pushed past the error I got on the Outgoing Mail Server window. I wasn't sure I should do that but I was desperate:
Next I got this window and checked SSL.
That was it!
Finally I went into account preferences and checked the outgoing mail server settings to be sure the server port was correct. It was.
Thank you for your help.

I believe they discontinued all mobile.me accounts yesterday. It's been in the planning for a long time with lots of notification. I believe you can still get access to the e-mail from Tiger but you'd need to browse past discussions on this forum for details on how.
