Duplicate emails being sent, how to stop?

Hello -
I am running Mac OS X Server 10.3.9. We have been using mail and the mailman mailing lists for some time. All of a sudden, a user posted a message to one of the mailman groups (with about 140 members) and many of them have received 10-20 copies of the message. (not every user has recieved multiple copies)
How can I track down what is stuck and get rid of it. I'm not sure where to find the message queues, or what steps to take.
Thanks for any help,
Eric

Cool -
Thanks for the help. I did the mailq option, looks like there are 7 things, I've pasted the output. Maybe you could tell me what it means, or If I have any messages pending. At this point, I'd just like to clear the slate and have nothing pending.
Thanks again for your help.
Eric

You can install Temperature Monitor and have a look if the CPU oder GPU oder something else went to hot. The processor has a built in safety mechanism to shut down the computer before taking damage.

Prevent an email being sent when claiming a task

Using the assign task component in WorkBench ES, we initially assign a task to a group rather than an individual. We would like to continue sending the initial email when entering in a task. We would like to stop the email being sent to the user that claims the item. This is because the user needs to click a single button to process the task. By the time they receive the email, they have already processed the item. Any suggestions would be appreciated. - Thank you

Hi,
We got the same issue of getting email when the user claim the task which is confusing the user.
I saw the issue is corrected/fixed or is helpful, can you please share on how you got it corrected.
We are still using ES with SP3. We have enabled the Group - Task Assignment and Task Assignment.
Thanks,
Han Dao

Duplicate emails being received

Years back I signed up for mac.com emal address and seldom used it. I recall vaguely being able to forward a copy to my cablevision email account, a 'optonline.net' account. I can't remember what I did but now I'm using my mac.com email regularly, with variations under me.com and icloud.com. And I like to stop getting copies of the same email being sent to my optonline.net.
But I can't figure out how to stop this....any ideas?
Thanks.

Howdy dmao,
With Mail you can forward email with rules so check your Mail > Preferences > Rules and see if you have one setup.
Mail (Yosemite): Use rules to manage your inbox
If not, iCloud can also automatically forward emails.
iCloud: Forward all messages automatically
See if either of those are forwarding your email.
Best regards,
Nubz

More Spam emails being sent from My Account again?

Despite changing my password and security several times from a clean PC, delteing all emails from my BT account regularly including sent items and spam folders and trash folders.
At least a dozen or more friends and collages are still getting regular spam emails from my account. I do not store any contacts in the webbased interface and don't even use the account these days so I "presume" that there is nothing I can do my end to stop theses emails being sent out from "somebody else".
Any suggestions welcome.
DomB
(One of many reasons I left BT).

Your account was probably hacked sometime back along with many others and your contact list will have been harvested by spammers. The list is now available to the spammers to use at any time they wish.
When they send spam to your contacts they are not sending them from your email account but rather they have spoofed your email address to make it appear it is from your account so that it fools your contacts into opening the spam.
What you need to do is create a new email address, use one of your sub-accounts and then tell all your contacts that your "old" email address has been compromised and that they should treat any emails from it as spam and delete them without opening them.
Once you have done that, if you still have a BT account, you can then change your "New" email address to become your BTID and primary email account by logging into your MyBT and going to My Profie and changing the contact email address and username to your "new" email address.
See link about spoofed emails addresses.

Ironport C170 Blocks Emails Being Sent From SMTP Relay

I have an issue with emails being sent out through our virtual SMTP Relay from a server on the DMZ. Any emails being sent to internal email accounts on our domain works fine. However the ones sent to external accounts are being rejected by the RAT. Here is a shot of the rejection message we are getting:
29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
Protocol SMTP interface Data 2 (IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx) from sender IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Reverse DNS host internal.domain.org verified yes.

I am new to the Ironport world so I am having a hard time figuring out how to allow for my SMTP relay to send emails to external email accounts. Thanks for any advice in advance!

It looks like the message should be arriving via SENDERGROUP RELAYLIST instead of
ACCEPT sender group UNKNOWNLIST .
Navigate to GUI --> Mail Policies --> HAT Overview
Then click the RELAYLIST sendergroup
Add the IP address of your sending MTA to this group, submit and commit changes.

I am automating the process of sending appointment reminders to my clients. I started with an alert with an email in calendar using the clients email address as a custom entry in my me card in my contacts. this was resulting in three emails being sent with slightly different versions of the same address (see my previous post). Heating someone else's suggestion I created a workflow file to send an email and calling that file from an alert on my calendar. This is working and sends only one email to the client.
My calendar is on I cloud and I access it from three different computers so I can keep my appointment calendar current. The files that send the email only exist on one computer. My other computers show error messages when those emails get sent. It seems that each computer wants to send the email. It's a small problem but is there a way that I could not get those alerts.
But appreciate any thoughts about this. It seems like both problems might be related to the iCloud system.
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Good work, catch so far Michael, does seem to be a "feature" of iCloud syncing, not sure what you could do to disable it.

There are unauthorised emails being sent from my emails accounts. This started recently following my iOS update to 5.0.1. Is this an iCloud hacking issue?

There appears to be emails being sent out to random contacts from my shared address book with dubious content none of which were sent by me. I believe this was sent by unauthorised hacker from iCloud as the contacts are not even in my personal contact list, but came from my wife's contact list which have been shared via iCloud. Is there security breach issue with iCloud?

I have the same situation (there seems to be lots of emails sent through my Icloud account. I don't see those emails in my "sent" folder, but I can see plenty of email (Chinese spam emails) bounced back into my account stating that I have exceded the sending limits. I cannot send anything either from my account (of course, the sending limit is alwasy exceeded). I have also changed twice my password, but the issue remains.
Any clues?
I am really surprised at this. I was from the begining with .Mac, and never had any issue during all these years. This is now with Icloud, which should be safer and better :-(

Previously deleted emails being sent to my phone

Replaced my old 3gs with a new 4. Set up my email account (BT). Started to get old, previously deleted emails being sent to my phone. Hundreds of the things. Please help.

What kind of email account is this? Generally this only happens with accounts that you sync with Outlook. There is a setting in Outlook to add them. Most other mail clients will display a suggested list from previously written email, but will not automatically add them to the contact list.
Are you actually seeing them in the contact list, or is it just that when you go to type another name in with a similar starting letter you are seeing the name? The iPhone keeps this in a cache in case you want to use them again, but they delete eventually. Or, you can delete them by starting the email out, then tapping on the to the end of the address and then deleting the suggestion.

Automatic Emails Being Sent Through My Account

I have current antivirus software on the computers that I use to access my email, and I don't think I have a virus. I do also access my email from my iPhone.
I would very appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening and how to stop it.
Thanks,

This happened to me four month ago. Change your password and the spamming will stop. Your password was probably figured out by robo-software. Make it harder to crack.

Misspelled word in the Automated Email being sent by Workflow system

Hi Gurus,
First of all I'm absolutely clueless about workflow so please don't be hating. :X
I am trying to fix a bug in one of the email templates being sent to email addresses of our employees. The subject line have a misspelled word.
Where do I start?
Whats the tcode to go to these templates? And how do I search for the correct email to be corrected given that the information I have is the Subject line and the body of the email.
Points will be awarded.
Many thanks,
Regards,
Olekan Babatonde

There are several transactions you can use to check a workflow template. Depending on what you want to do you could use PFTC, SWDD or SWDD_CONFIG.
Finding the correct task from only the subject or content is much harder. The best thing to do is run SWI1 for the period the e-mails are generated. In the list you get is a column task which holds the tasknumber. Now you need to find the step which actually sends your e-mail and get the corresponding tasknumber. Using this in PFTC and the where used function you should be able to find the workflow (WS....). Then you can use SWDD_CONFIG to change the text.
But if the e-mail is SAP standard I would raise an OSS message and ask them to make the correction.
Regards,
Martin
