HT1688 block spam from email on i phone

Is there a way to block spam from the I phone mail? It is blocked on my ATT account on my computer but is displayed in my mail on the I phone? Thank you.

Not from the iphone.
You would have to do this on your mail server

I need to block someone from emailing me, its is also important that they receive an undelivered message when they attempt to email me. Can this be done?

I need to block someone from emailing me, it is important that they receive an undelivered message when they attempt to email me. Can this be done? I do not mind deleting the whole account and starting again, but i have not found a way as of yet.

You can go to the Mail page at http://icloud.com , click on the cogwheel icon at top right, choose 'Rules' and set up a rule that moves all messages from this person to the Trash. However there's no way of producing an 'undelivered' message.
As to deleting the account, this isn't possible; you can abandon using it and start another. If you do this, messages to it will pile up until the storage limit is filled, at which point they will be bounced with an 'Account over limit' message. Alternatively you could set up a 'Vacation message' in the Preferences which would inform anyone sending to that address that it was no longer in use.

Imessage sends from email account not phone number?

There are 2 receiving options for messages (phone number and email account) but there doesn't appear to be a send option. All my imessages are sent from email not phone but sms from phone. Can this be changed?

did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same issue... I sometimes only provide an email address to people whom I wish to receive messages from so that they are not able to actually call my phone... recently I've been hearing from friends who do have my phone number that all of a sudden my messages are being sent from my email address. My 'start new message' option has ALWAYS been to send from my phone number. I have always assumed that if someone started a conversation with me by sending to my imessage email address that when I respond to them and them only would it come from the email address...
this has not been happening...

Blocking spam and email addresses

Is it possible to block a specific email address?

What exact rule did you set up?
Like...
If From Contains [email protected], then...
Move to Trash... or Delete message?

IMessage sending from email instead of phone number

After 5 months of using my iPhone, my iMessage has switched to sending from phone number to sending from my email on the iPhone 5S (Software ios 8.1.3). I have already checked my settings, which state it should be sending from my phone number. In fact when I have deselected my email address as an alternate for iMessage, my messages will not send at all. I have rebooted my phone as well as signed in and out of iMessage and iCloud. I don't know how to fix this issue, any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Hey emdiers,
I see that you are experiencing a messaging issue on your iPhone. It sounds like you are unable to send SMS messages as well as being unable to send iMessages from your phone number, is this correct? If so, when you turn off iMessage, you will not be able to send any messages whatsoever. Have you found this to be the case? If so, this article has some advice on how to address this issue:
Contact your carrier
If you can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages, contact your carrier to check your text messaging plan.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

IMessage sending from email and not phone number.

When I send an iMessage it sends from my email address rather than my phone number how can i change this to being sent from just my number as when people reply they are going to my email and not my iPhone??

Go to your contacts and look up your own contact. To check if you have created an "I", which mean a "yourself" go to "Settings - Mail, Contacts, etc.". Under Contacts you will find "My Infos".
At this point you should see your own name. If not, press on "My Infos" and create yourself on your iPhone. (Phone number, etc.). If you see your name at "My Infos" press on it an check if you have typed in your correct phone number.
You can also go to Settings - Phone and look up if your number is saved under "My Number".
I hope this will help you.

Imessage sends messages from email despite selecting phone number for "start new conversations from"

On both my phone and my computer I have selected to start new conversations from my phone number, but just now I continued a conversation from my macbook and it sent it from my email address instead of my phone number! All the other answers I found for this question were outdated, I couldn't find "Caller ID" in settings for iOS 8 or Yosemite.

If this is a continuing conversation, I don't believe the device looks at it as a new conversation, which is what that setting is for, from what I understand. If there is a checkmark by the phone number on all devices, then it should start there, but if the conversation was originally started from the email, I believe it will continue until you start a new conversation.

CANT DOWNLOAD PIC ATTACHMENTS FROM EMAIL (YAHOO) TO PHONE

Just got the IPHONE. When I get an email with a photo attachment I can see it, but how do I download it so I can view it later and/or send it to other people??
Please help.
Also, is there a way to copy and paste links and email addresses??
thanx,
kevin

kevinaperryjr2,
At this time, there is no way to save a photo attachment from an email on the iPhone to the iPhone. You would need to access this picture from and email program on your computer, save it to the computer, and sync it to the phone. You can however, forward the email and photo attachment to other recipients.
There is no copy/paste feature at this time, but you can submit a feature request here:

Hope this helps,

HT4759 blocking spam from mac & icloud accounts

Blocking spam from new TLD like .ninja

I have spam problems from new tld like .ninja. Seems spam filter not work with this new domains, any suggestion on how to solve this problem?
Thanks, Andrea

the thing is not that I don't want to use captchas, it is
just that it doesn't work. Also I think that registering scares
people off. There MUST be a way how to do this. However, I have
been trying to find one for almost 5 days now and I always end up
with the same result (confer above). Does any body see where the
code-error lies?

Blocking spam from a comment-section

I want to include something in my code to avoid spam in my
sql-driven comments-section of my website.
I posted this already in another thread but since it was
marked as solved, nobody responded to my question. I tried to use
the following method suggested by Joe Makowiec in this forum:
Originally posted by:
Newsgroup User
In foil.js:
// JavaScript Document
document.write(&quot;&lt;input name='foil'
type='hidden' value='orange' /&gt;&quot;);
and in the mail form:
script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;
src=&quot;foil.js&quot;
type=&quot;text/JavaScript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
noscript
tr&gt;
td&gt;Enter 'orange' here:&lt;/td&gt;
td&gt;&lt;input name='foil'
/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
/tr
&gt; &lt;/noscript&gt;
I also put in the corresponding php as suggested:
?php
if ($_POST['foil'] == 'vrede') {
// Have field 'foil' with correct value
// Do other processing here
} else {
// Field 'foil' is missing or blank
// Odds on we have a bot
// Do something other than sending the mail
sorry that I didn't put this into the code-attachment but I
didn't want anybody to confuse this with my coding. If you'd like
to see the original coding, here you can have a look:
the
original discussion
However, it doesn't work. And what is worst: the same error
happens that I occurred when I tried to include a captcha! It
simply posts the spam comments anyway (with or without the right
code word).
I am not particularly good at php coding yet and quite
frankly, deciding where to put in a code fragment is pretty much a
guessing game for me. Maybe someone can see what the problem is if
I give you the coding I have done so far.:

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to block someone from emailing me or simply just delete my icloud email account (me) so this person can not email me or facetime me. it is a brand new account and I would like to start all over.

Thanks so much!!!

If it's a brand new account, then there should be no harm in deleting it assuming you don't have any important data saved. On the iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
You can then create a new ID at http://appleid.apple.com, then sign in to iCloud after the ID has been created.

How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address?

How can I block myself from sending email to a certain email address? I am in the middle of a relationship ending and I want to RESTRICT myself from being able to send outgoing email to a certain email address. Please advise. I have no will power and I don't want to be engaged in back and forth email drama. Thanks.

Might sound kind of silly, but you could go into Contacts, the person in question, edit, and where it says Add Field, put somthing in like STOP, or DO NOT DO THIS
At least that would get your attention, even if it doesn't block you from emailing.
There just isn't much you can do to block yourself. If you have a couple close friends, do something like an AA support group...call a friend and have them talk you out of emailing.
I'm not trying to be smart alecky about this, actually trying to help, but there isn't much to offer.

How much more spam from Apple?

Why does this continue?
I have blocked this email address.
I have made a rule in preferences.
I have forwarded the messages as an attatchment to [email protected]
BUT STILL I GET SPAM FROM
[email protected]

Hi Jayspain,
This email address that you have provided: [email protected], is not an authentic Apple email address.
To make sure you have blocked the email address, I would like you to go to:
Mail
Preferences, from the menu in OS X Mail
Go to the Rules Tab
The Add Rule
Make the criterion read ‘From Contains’
Insert the email address of: [email protected]
From the actions, select ‘delete message’
Assign a description to the new rule like ‘spam’
Close the dialog with OK
Depending on the server and provider you are with the impact may vary, ig you use iCloud emial, this is 100% guaranteed to work. I am pretty sure that any other server/provider that has mail coming through OS X Mail, will block that address.
Many Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

How do you filter Spam from iPad mail?

I have an iPad 2 with both POP 3 and Exchange accounts. Is there a way to block spam from showing up on my iPad?

To block spam from showing up on your iPad requires the process being done at the incoming mail server level.
The iPad's Mail app does not include a junk mail filter which would not prevent spam from showing up on your iPad if it were available.
