Email used for spam

Someone sent a spam email to the first 25 people in my "Sent" folder of my Verizon Webmail account. I've changed the password, but is there some place that I need to report this. They definitely did not get it from my home computer because I use Outlook Express, and the email addresses were from the Webmail sent folder.

keep the below info in mind when creating a password.
You already knew that a longer password is more secure, but how much more? BusinessWeek says a 6 character password (just letters) can be cracked in just 10 minutes while a 9 character password complete with letters, uppercase, numbers and symbols will take 44,530 years to crack. Take a look at the image to see other comparisons, the first column describes your password, the other columns show you how long the hackers need to hack your password. [BusinessWeek via Neatorama]

I don't know of there is anyone than can fix this age old Apple problem. Does anyone know how to retrieve apps under an old Apple ID when the email used for that account no longer exists & I can't remember the password? After speaking with Apple Acct. Security, I got the security Q right but my birthday was wrong! They wanted the serial number from my phone that was 3 iPhones ago! Seriously??!!
Any updated way to work around this? No Apple people can correct it.
Thanks,
Joe

I am trying to backup my iPhone but the email used for my Apple ID has been deactivated so I can no longer log into my account or back up my iPhone. How do I back it up otherwise? Or how do I change my email?

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...

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.

Email used for account is deactivated.

Hi. The email address I used for an old skype account has been deactivated rendering access to my account impossible. Is there anyway I can have an admin / memeber of staff change my email address for me given that my original one is now disabled? I need to do password recovery since it's been years since I used this account. But there's profile / people on there I would like to contact after a few years of not speaking to them

Bumping as it's getting ignored. Not a difficult query surely?

Backscatter? my server beeing used for spam

Hi, im pretty new too running OS X server and using the build in postfix server.
Im having trouble with spam beeing sent from my server, the mail is tagget with Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender, so they are sending it too my server in hopes of getting it returned back as spam.
I have been reading alot about this and i still dont understand what i should do. is there a way of just turning off the Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender function ?
hope someone can help a newbie.
-Andreas

You would have to look through your mail logs to determine what was really happening. The "Undelivered Mail.." flag is an old tactic of spammers to get people to open emails containing viruses and the like, so that may not really be the issue at all. It could even be an email client is set to bounce emails when the sender is unknown that is causing the problem.
Spammers will also masquerade email accounts and send spam from other servers and the bounces will come back to the legitimate (your) email address. Checking the mail logs will be the first place to look, along with looking at the full header for the emails in question.
There are also possible real causes for getting those emails, including that one of your email accounts has been compromised and spammers are using that to send emails from that account. Again, checking the logs and message headers can yield some clues.
Check your Mail Service settings, particularly your Relay settings to allow only known networks to access the mail service. Investigate implementing SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and using RBL's (Real-Time Blacklists) to secure your server from being an open relay and cut out the spam from know spammer servers.

Email used for another account

Hi,
First, this is my account, and everything is ok with this account.
I've have another mail: *****@********.ne.jp
And somebody is sending his receipt on it. I don't know what to do. There is probably nothing credit on my real account, because it's not linked to this email. But it's really annoying.
Thanks you for your support.
Below, the mail I received.
Apple receipt
Billing:
*****@********.ne.jp
Order number: M2*****JBV
Receipt issue date: 2015/3/2
Order total: \ 900
Billing: Store Credit
Item vendor Type unit price
Store credit Sum: \ 900
Order total: \ 900
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

Yes, I know you are right, but the only people affected is somebody using my email. And he's using my email, so I don't really care about his private Billing information. Maybe I'm not doing this in the right way, but the only way I got to join Apple else is to get a call, and I don't want to because I'm at work all day.
And i don't really care about giving my own mail.

Update to ios 5 caused issues with my apple id vs. email used for id.

After updating both iphone and ipad to ios 5, it asked to change my apple id from username to email, but will not verify it, saying the email has already been verified with another id. That would be me. can I change back to my original user id? How? Am a little stuck, now. Can't update, add apps, or anything without the correct username and password. Which I have. Boo.

You had to use an email address to activate the account, so you might want to think back for what email you could have used and see if you can reset it.
I had a similar issue to yours when upgrading iTunes and iOS5. I think it was because Apple changed their security requirements for passwords - they introduced a new requirement to use a minimum of 8 characters, to include upper case, lower case, and numbers in the password. This was new and caught many off guard.

My email used for my apple id was hacked and I had to give it up. How do I change my primary id? I can't use the one I had that was hacked.

I have tried to update my id and I seem to be getting a second account because when I enter my current email, apple tells me that I already have an account. I also am told that emails for verification are sent to my hacked account that I cannot access so I cannot get my ipad mini registered. I feel like I have been going around in circles and am very frustrated.

How can I reset the email used for sync?

I set up a sync account when I tried FF4 Beta, and then deleted the account (and FF4 Beta). Now, I'd like to set the account up again, but Sync tells me my email is already in use.

[https://account.services.mozilla.com/ This page] can be used to retrieve your password. or if you recall it to truly delete your account. Then start over, if you wish.
