I'm getting mail delivery failure notifications quoting email addresses I don't recognize. Is someone using my server identity?

Hi. I've been getting several email delivery failure notifications recently. I don't recognize the email addresses quoted. Is it possible that someone has hacked into my mail account?

Either that, or someone is forging your reply address on mail that wasn't sent from your account at all. To tell the difference, you would have to log into your mail account on the Web and check for unusual activity.

  • Mail delivery failure messages for email I have not sent to contacts I do not know.

    I am receiving Mail delivery failure messages for emails I have not sent; they are addressed to contacts I've never heard of, many different. Apparently, this is some kind of spam but I don't know what to do about it.

    There is nothing you can do about it. It will stop at some point.

  • TS3276 Mail Delivery Failure Msgs for emails I Never Sent

    On Feb 7 I received 37 Mail Delivery Failure messages, but I never sent any of these emails.  I was not even on my Time Warner email account that day.  This is a recurring issue.  Any suggestions?

    Potential Spam. I would also change my e-mail password just in case your account has been hacked.

  • How to distingush delivery failure notices & bad email addresses

    Hello, All:
    Is there a standard for the format(content, subject, headers, etc) of delivery failure notices?
    What would you do if you want to get the bad email address (Undelivery address) from the delivery failure notice? Is there a systematic way to get the bad email address instead of earching for the address string in the email?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, the exception SendFailedException only happens when any of the recipient addresses is detected to be invalid by the "Transport" during message submission. It is not exactly the same as the user email does not exists.
    I have tried the SendFailedException and functions you suggested. The transport does not give this exception even though the recipent's address is not valid :(..
    I think the JavaMail code passes the email message to the SMTP server, the SMTP deals with the actually sending. Therefore, JavaMail code can not get its hand on the invalid email addresses.
    Thanks!

  • Getting mail delivery status notification (failure) for emails I did not send.

    I've started getting these notices for emails I didn't send. They contain attachments consisting of snippets of prose, like the attachments used to seed malware in Windows computers. Does apple have any protection/removal software for this sort of problem?

    That might be tough to do. Is there a rule I can use to help. The mail messages are so varied.
    I'd look at the headers (View -> Message -> Long Headers) to see if there's anything in common, then try to create a rule based on that.
    By the way, welcome to Apple's discussion groups.

  • Create a rule on mail delivery failure

    Hello,
    Is it possible to create a rule in the Groupwise client, that when a message bounce back (mail delivery failure) from our relay provider, that the email will be forwarded to an internal recipient.
    At the moment I cant get it to work. Moving that bounced email to a folder in Groupwise does work.

    then
    Forward message as attachment (my preferred forward method to preserve mime header information) to [designated address]
    End Rule Processing
    I've tested the above rule and it works perfectly on my GW8.0.2HP2 system with GW8.0.2HP3 client.
    Perhaps post more details of your rule here and we can assist you with troubleshooting it.
    Cheers,
    I have a very similar issue to this. If I have a bounce back, I want to have that email address extracted to another doc... can be anything... TXT file, Word, Excel.... just something where I can maintain bad emails. Any Ideas anyone?

I have my own email address entered into Contacts, but don't know what this message intends, or how to deal with it. Please advise.

  • Error when starting Firefox 3.6. "Javascript Application error. Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username." Any suggestions on what to look for to resolve this?

    When starting Mozilla Firefox 3.6, I get an error window which opens up additionally overtop my browser windows stating:
    "Javascript Application"
    followed with :
    "Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username."
    Obviously it is happening with one of my email addresses/usernames & password combinations of which I know the username for (which I choose not to post here) and I'm not sure where to begin looking for a resolution to this problem.

    I was able to resolve this by disabling (under Tools - Add-ons) Yahoo! Mail Notifier
    Hope this helps some of you also!

  • Cannot Send Mail One of the Recipients Email Addresses is Invalid

    Cannot Send Mail One of the Recipients Email Addresses is Invalid
    This is the error message I keep getting on outgoing mail. Incoming mail works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions to try?

    You mean you can receive and send messages when you are connected to your wi-fi network at home with your internet service provider as the internet connection for your wireless network at home, but you are unable to send messages with this account when connected to AT&T's cellular network?
    If so, this leans toward your email account being provided by your internet service provider.
    Most internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of the ISP's network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated. Not many ISPs provide an authenticated SMTP server with the email account they provide their customers.
    You can do one of two things. The iPhone includes AT&T's SMTP server to select as the SMTP server to use for this email account when you are connected to AT&T's cellular network, but you probably won't be able to use AT&T's SMTP server to send with the account when connected to your wi-fi network at home.
    Or you can switch to using an email account that provides an authenticated SMTP server. A Gmail account is one, and a MobileMe account is another.

  • How do I configure Server 3.0 to deliver "undeliverable" mail to a specific "catchall email address?

    How do I configure Server 3.0 to deliver "undeliverable" mail to a specific "catchall email address?
    I had this working in Server 2.0  dunno why it doesn't now, but I can't find the config.

    It's fairly straight forward and there is a GUI option to help you.
    In the Server app, go to Users. Select the User you want to create email aliases for. Right click, or hold down Shift-Ctrl and click on the name. Select 'Advanced Options...' from the menu. You can then enter as many aliases as you want in the 'Aliases'.
    For example: [email protected], @xyz.co.uk, [email protected]
    My example is overkill as I only really needed to add '@xyz.co.uk' as a catch all get everything sent to that domain delivered to that users email address.

    I am trying to change my Apple ID. Try to do this I keep getting an error message saying ‘This email address is designated as your rescue email address and cannot be used as your Apple ID or Primary email address. Please choose another.’ The email address that I want to use did use to be my recovery email but I have changed it, so that address is no lonegr associated with my account.

  • I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password.  HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

    I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password.  How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

  • JAVA SCRIPT application: Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.

    Every time I start up Firefox, I get the following:
    JavaScript Application
    "mfernandez1957" Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.
    What do I do?
    Another issue is hang ups, I mean every few seconds it hangs up and I get (Not Responding), which is frustrating when you're entering data or whatever and in the middle it freezes so then you have to go back and retype stuff that never got entered. It even hangs right out the gate, I get (Not Responding), I mean, before Firefox is even fully loaded, it hangs, it even hangs (though considerably less frequently) with all my plug ins currently disabled. So that's another issue.
    If y'all can help, I would be grateful.

    hello, please try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...
