Emails being sent out even while I haven't had the computer on.

Last week I had a worm email that come to my mac and sent out junk emails. I scanned the system but it couldn't find anything. It didn't bother me because I had order the new 27" iMac which came on Thursday.
I set up the new Mac and used time machine to transfer settings across from a back up I made on the 26 April which was three weeks before the worm email came to me from a PC user. Yesterday, I started getting messages sent to my iPhone about failed delivery of emails like before when I had the worm on my old system. How can this happen on a new system? I have a friend staying with me since Friday so I haven't used the new mac. Any ideas? Also what is the best bit of software for checking for worms? Is it possible that this could be an email issue at the server end?
I have made the assumtion that someone must have hacked my account because I can't see how a brand new machine would be infected by a virus of any kind. Further I was out all day on Saturday and my Mac was not on. Is it possible for viruses to be active on the servers at my email provider?
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys.

They are using your email address as the return address and faking all the other headers, or they do have your password and are sending directly using your account.
If they are using your account directly, log into your web mail interface for that account and check the sent mail.
If you find anything in there that you didn't send, then they have your password.
Either way, change your password on the account.
If they just have your email address, you'll just have to wait it out.

  • Summary Alert Issues - Summary Alert Being Sent Out as Multiple Emails

    I'm sure many of you have seen the various posts online about Summary Alerts that are supposed to show changes over the last 24hrs in a single email being sent out as either multiple emails containing a random number of items per email, or individual emails
    for each item that was updated. The question I have is... Has this issue been resolved with SP2 or any of the Post-SP CUs?
    One of my users mentioned that the August 2014 CU was supposed to have a fix for this issue, but I am unable to find any documentation specifically mentioning alert handling or the Summary Alert issue mentioned above. 
    Current Environment is SP1 + Aug 2013 CU (We're a tad behind -- but I'm working on that)
    Any information would be helpful.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I suggest you to delete the existing Rule and setup a New Rule.
    I have tested this on my lab and it works fine.
    You might want to refer to the below article on Setting up Alert Notifications

  • 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  :-(

  • 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.

    (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.
    29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
    (ICID xxxxxxx) ACCEPT sender group UNKNOWNLIST match sbrs[-1.0:10.0] SBRS 0.4
    29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
    Start message xxxxxx on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx).
    29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
    Message xxxxxx enqueued on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx) from [email protected]
    29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
    Message xxxxxx on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx) to [email protected] was rejected by Recipient Access Table (RAT).
    29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
    Message xxxxxx aborted: Receiving aborted by sender
    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.

  • TS4002 emails are being sent out without my knowledge

    emails are being sent out without my knowledge, do I have a virus?

    Are you getting bounced spam messages? This simply means that someone is forging your address as the 'From' address, which is very easy to do. It's very annoying but it doesn't mean you've been hacked; unfortunately you can't really do anything about it but it usually stops after a bit as they move on to some other victim. As long as you don't have messages you didn't send in your 'sent' folder this is the most likely explanation, though changing your password might be a good idea on general principles (and make it a stong one).

    Just setting up iCloud on my iMac 10.9.2, my problem is when trying to sign out/off from iCloud it comes up with a verification code that is being sent to my land line, I'd changed the numbers in my Apple ID and they show as changed but the land line number still shows as number that the verification code is being sent, I prompt "Don't have access to this phone" and that's no help at all.  The only way I can sign out /off from iCloud is to uncheck everything that I wanted to keep in the cloud????
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
    Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages.  This should also sign you out of iCloud.
    Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
    If that does not work
    Skip the iCloud sign in
    Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
    Change your Apple ID to the old one
    Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
    Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
    Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

    I would very appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening and how to stop it.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.
