How to stop email from hitting gwia?

Hi all,
We have email (from many different sources) hitting the gwia for a former employee. It may not be doing damage (i dont know) but it keeps the gwia busy and its annoying. How do I stop it.
Thanks

Provided that account name is no longer valid to receive mail for your
system, deleted or in a class of service not allowed incoming internet
mail, then the GWIA will drop the connection as soon as it sees the
recipient name of the incoming transmission. So the minimum of time is
lost, there's no real way to stop the message getting to your MX record
host.
Cheers Dave

  • How to Stop Email from BB Being Delivered to Desktop?

    Can email delivery from the BB to the desktop be supressed? How?
    Thanks.

    HI there!
    Can you expand on that a little bit more? On it's face, the function you describe (email delivery from BB to Desktop) is not a function at all...so please provide a bit more detail so that we can understand exactly what it is that you are looking for.
    Thanks!

  • 10.8.5 how to stop emails from Apple Support Communities?

    You're welcome and it's ok - I'm not doing this for points.......
    For future threads, you should have a note below all posts (but your initial post) that you can hit a solved or helpful. I just realized: you didn't have your topic marked as a question, but as a discussion, so that's why you can't award any points.

  • TS4002 stop email from deletion when deleted on another device

    how to stop email from deletion when deleted on another device.

    With IMAP - the email protocol the iCloud uses - the messages live on the server and are read from there by your devices. Think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense. Therefore when your wife deletes a message she is actually deleting it from the server, which is why you see it as deleted. You can't alter this; it's inherent in the system.
    The only workaround is to sort out a method whereby emails don't get deleted until both of you have seen them - for example she could move them to another folder and you could then read them there and delete them (so their presence in that folder always means that the other person has seen them).

  • Can anyone please tell me how to stop email previews from appearing on my screen. I have turned off the preview option in settings on both my ipad and iphone, but they still keep appearing.  Thanks

    Can anyone please tell me how to stop email previews from appearing on my screen. I have turned off the preview option in settings on both my ipad and iphone, but they still keep appearing.  Thanks

    works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1).  Try again.  with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only.  (you cannot get rid of the subject)    with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

    If you know the thread or community that is sending you the emails you can go directly to those and skip the rest of this however if you don't remember or are still getting email after going to the community read on.
    Stopping email from ths site can be difficult, it is a multi step procedure.  See the link Stopping emails from ASC which Neil posted for all the details.

    Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
    I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
    I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
    Thanks again..
    Harv..

  • Yikes! How do I stop email from discussion group?

    I've searched my settings and I can find nothing to block email from my discussion questions! This is incredible! Not only does Apple try to slip Safari onto my system but it provides no way of not receiving emails from the discussion group!
    I haven't subscribed to anything and, even when following the instructions to stop the email (i.e., delete option in "My Subscriptions") I can't because no subscriptions are listed!
    Jeez!

    I've got "no" check both times and have no subscriptions. The frequency options don't include "none".
    Always subscribe to topics I create: Yes No
    Always subscribe to topics I reply to: Yes No
    Send subscription emails: XXX
    Your Email Address
    All subscription updates will be emailed to your email address:XXX
    You have no subscriptions configured.

  • I find very annoying that, although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list. how to stop it from happening?

    i use Google home page as my firefox home page. often i find that although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list instead of accepting the typing. how to stop it from happening? why not stop the cursor from appearing in the search box unless you have clicked in it?

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

  • How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

    How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

    You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
    To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
    Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

  • I cannot stop emails from this community.

    I cannot stop emails from this community. I changed my email preferences to "no" on every category yet I'm getting hundreds of them. How do I stop them?

    Stopping emails from ASC is a three step process. All the steps in the user tip I wrote have to be followed as written.
    There is confusion because there are two settings Email Notification Preferences and Email Notifications which sound the same but control different things.
    As a rule if you are getting 100's of emails a day then
    If you are receiving many notifications per day you most likely have selected to receive notifications from a community. That means you are getting notified anytime anything is posted to that community. Some communities in ASC can generate 100's of posts per day.
    To delete the notifications you do not want to receive, select the checkbox after the notification and then press Remove Selected Notifications.
    I'll alert the hosts but while you are waiting go through the steps in the tip again paying special attention to the Email Notifications.
