Email and username used for spam??

caution: strongs words
i have just received a spam message, that includes my username from this forum, and sent to the registered email account i use with this forum.
that mean there is a security breach, which i think should be dealt with severely and promptly.
just to note:
- there is no connection between my name and email address (for obvious reasons)
- i am active and registered on extremely few internet sites.
- i never connect same username and address.
So problem comes from here. needs immediate solution. being a human being and a French, i despise spam and will not stand any attack to my privacy.
and here is the mail (which by the way was not even filtered by email server):

... And here's where I keep assorted lengths of wires...

At LAVA i have same username but different adress.
The adress i published was different for obvious reasons. i am always trying to be very carefull with this stuff. i never mix for example professional and personal emails. all servers are kept appart, and i have a 'dump' email for transfering all information. up to now this seems to have worked perfectly. The thing is that every time there is a breach from somewhere, it is the start of a new wave of spam and unsolicited messages, that i have to find ways to kill.
In this case, i  changed a while ago the forum related email , because server has crashed (yes due to spam - btw this is the email you have of me - not reliable anymore, so pm me for another one). so i changed it to my 'dump' email, as a temporary solution. this one up to now never ever had spam. until today. and that means i have to rethink my whole policy.
and yes - this is the only forum (or entity for that matter), that uses this email directly.

  • SMTPSendFailedException: 550 : your email program is used for spam

    I'm using javamail for quite a long time, but recently I sometimes receive this error while sending a mail.
    SMTPSendFailedException: 550 Error: You used an email program that is used almost exclusively for spam.
    If using Outlook , I have no problem sending to the same address, using the same SMTP.
    I suppose the 'javamail' in the message ID is responsible for this.
    Anyone else with same problem, any ideas on how to avoid this?

    You should talk to the administrator of your mail server and find out
    what it's matching on to determine this. If it's the message ID, you can
    change the message ID to whatever you want.
    I assume, of course, that you're not actually sending spam...

  • I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

    I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.  I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it.  Any ideas on what to do?

    Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need.  I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use.  My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

    Hello minhluhoc,
    It sounds like you are unable to reset your security questions but do not have access to your rescue email address. According to the following article you will need to contact the iTunes Store support team:
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

  • I can not send my Note through email and it used to work. The same problem to send picture from iPhone message

    Can't send Notes through email and it used to work. The same problem of sending picture from iPhone message. Did the reset twice but still not working

  • The email EDIT button used for marking emails to delete, move or mark just stopped working today.  When I hit EDIT nothing happens.  How do I fix it?

    I need help fixiting the iPad2 email EDIT button used for tagging emails to delete, move, or mark.  Today, it just stopped working and is unresponsive.  The DELETE, MOVE, & MARK icons do not appear and I cannot tag emails.
    How do I fix the problem?

    Restart the device (hold power + home until the Apple logo appears) or just turn it off (hold the power button until the red swip bar appears and swipe) and then back on.
    If that doesn't fix it, you can try a restore from backup or setting it up as new.

  • Controlling which email address is used for group members?

    Howdy Folks,
    Is there a way to control which email address is used for contacts that you have put into a group in Address Book?
    For example, say John Smith is a member of an Address Book group I have created. John's Address Book entry contains two email addresses for him, one for work and one for home.
    When I send an email to the group I want to have it sent to John's work email address.
    I have experimented by editing the entry and making sure the desired address is the first one listed for the individual in question, but that doesn't do the trick.
    Thanks in advance for any tips!
    --gordon
    15" PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Launch Address Book, choose Help > Address Book Help and type "group addresses" in the search box. Read the article titled "Selecting which addresses to use for members of a group". Does that solve your problem?

  • Change my security email and then use that email as my main id account email

    Is it possible to to change my security email and the use it as my main id account email?
    When I try I keep getting an error to say the email address is being used.  Any suggestions or do I need to create a new email address to achieve this?

    The rescue email address must be a different email address than your Apple ID. That is the idea behind having a rescue email address.
    Once you are using the address for the rescue email address, I don't think that you can change it to the main Apple ID email address. That is why you are getting the message that the address is already in use.

  • I don't remember the email address I used for my apple ID

    I don't remember the email address I used for my apple ID. I got locked out of my iPod, cause I didn't remember the four-digit code.
    Now its asking me to enter the ID and password. I can't even remember the password either. I think I remember the questions/answers. I can't start over and get a new account.

  • What are the delta mechanisms and tables used for  Lo Extraction & COPA

    Hi all
    what are the delta mechanisms and tables used for  Lo Extraction & COPA.
    please explain clealry.
    Thanks & Regards,
    James

    James,
    Please go through Roberto's weblog :
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/02/14/logistic-cockpit--when-you-need-more--first-option-enhance-it
    Anyways,
    As you know LO cockpit consists of different modules(MM, PP, SD, etc)
    They are called appl components. Each of them have a number (eg.MM=02) and for each appl comp they might be different Data sources and for each DS they might be different tables. So, unless you be specific we cant tell a specific table for a DS.
    coming to the delta mechanisms, there are " direct delta, queqed delta and serialized delta".
    Copa is based on the oepration concern. it can be created on " accouting based" or "costing based".
    Assign points if helpful
