Email using my address sent to me from 3rd party

I don't know the right wording for what just happened to me, but I'm hoping someone can explain it and tell me how to correct it.
I opened my junkmail and there was an email FROM ME. I thought that was weird since I hadn't sent anything to myself lately. I opened it and it's a pharmaceutical ad for sexual enhancements complete with pictures and a link to the site. I did NOT visit the site, I DON'T visit that kind of site and since I don't have a *****, I know the advertisement was some sort of mass mailing.
HOW DID THEY USE MY EMAIL ADDRESS??? Are they now using it to send the same crap to my friends? To strangers? Who will now fill my mailbox with CRAP? Do I need to close that precious dotMac account (I hate the dotIT'S ALL ABOUT ME account name.) How do I stop this????
HELP!!!!

It is easy for a spammer to forge any field of a message. The email was not sent from your computer or your email address really, the spammer just puts your email as the one listed in the From field of the message. The actual email header will show the IP address where the mail really originated, which is in part how email clients (Mail, Thunderbird, etc) can detect and filter such junk. Some more primitive filtering does not catch this, and for those not using filtering they are more likely to read mail they may be fooled into thinking they sent themselves. Chances are your friends also have been getting emails from 'themselves' in their junk folder too. This is now a very common tactic.

    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    As mentioned, unset SSL when using port 25. You could try using port 587 (again without SSL set).
    If you still get an error message when trying to send, can you post that ?

  • Which process chain type used when scheduling from 3rd party

    Do we use Local Process Chain or Meta Chain type used when triggering  PC from 3rd Party scheduling tools like Redwood..
    Any inputs...
    Venkat.

    Hi Venkat,
    Select "Start Using Meta Chain or API" for the start process when running a process chain from a third party scheduling software or when calling a process chain from within another process chain. 
    I also believe some third party scheduling software will also work if you set the start process to  "Direct Scheduling" and set the start time to immediate but I would recommend just making it a Meta Chain for tracking purposes.
    Thanks,

  • Would it be possible for time machine to back-up files from 3rd party software such as windows platform using parallel?

    I'm wondering if it would be possible for time machine to back-up files from 3rd party software such as Windows XP using parallel software especially if it is isolated from mac?  Any advise would be greatly aprreciated.

    Short answer - yes Time Machine will backup everything within the Mac OS system.
    Longer answer - Parallels creates a pvm disk image "Parallels Virtual Machine" which Time Machine backs up.
    Due to the changes to the pvm file Time Machine is unable to read the minor changes and will somtimes do a full backup of it each time Time Machine runs and can chew through Back up drive space quite quickly.

    Dear Experts,
    We have implemented SAP DMS . Prior to DMS we were using Third party software for creating and storing the documents.
    There are abot 3000 documents in the third party software, now the challege is how we  must have to migrate the DATA from 3rd party software to SAP DMS with creating Dirs. Are there any upload programmes suffice the requirement or any development needs to be done or any possibilities.
    Kindly help me out in the above scenario.

    Hi,
    from DMS point of view I think that SDXA functionality could also be useful for this action. For further information on SXDA functions please see SAP note 817743.

  • Any links i open from 3rd party applications do not open in firefox.

    To be more precise, when i click a link, Firefox does open however it does not visit the URL. It simply opens a new session. I have started Firefox in safe mode and the problem occurs, i have reset firefox to default preferences and the problem still persists. I can see no problems in the setting of Firefox itself and have already tried all the fixes available.
    I am using Firefox 29.0.1 on Fedora 20 64x

    As i stated, when i click links from 3rd party applications, such as skype; a youtube link or something similar. Firefox opens a new session however it does not visit the clicked url

  • Raising a notification from 3rd party software

    Hi
    We have a client looking at raising notifications within the asset management system of SAP via a sql/.net software application. The 3rd party software has a defect register which could be used to open the SAP notification. We would like to populate the fields automatically when the notification is opened.
    Is there a current feature within SAP to raise single or multiple notifications via a 3rd party application?
    Cheers
    Russell

    Hi russel,
    Things are where they were.
    Any Function Module(BAPI here) is the ABAP part. So the solution involves 3 parties.  The BAPI suggested helps in creating a Notification by receiving parameters as Inputs. Where these parameters come from? These come from 3rd party software (you called so) through interface (XI here)
    Flow is like this.
    Interface (XI) - Receives parameters from your Browser (assumed you called it 3rd party) and translates into SAP field names and values.
    ABAP  - Receives these inputs, feeds to the BAPI the output of which is a Notification.
    Note:
    BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE  is a Notification creation tool (Function module) in ABAP. This receives SAP field values as inputs and generates a Notification.  It has got a wide range of applications in regular SAP developments.

    payroll results of the SAP System.

    Import Payroll Results from a Third-Party System [Ext.].
    Starting the Import
