ICloud server blocking Earthlink forwarded emails

Looks like a problem that has happened before with respect to blocking of Roadrunner emails sent to people with me.com email address has resurfaced, this time with Earthlink. I have an old Earthlink account (at least 20 years old, which I keep only because of the number of online accounts linked to this email - almost 1000), and I have email forwarding set up on it to forward all emails to my me.com account, where I can review it at home or on one of my mobile devices. It has been working well for about 8 years.
Today, however, messages sent to my earthlink.net address are being bounced back to the sender due to this error:
host mx4.me.com.akadns.net [17.172.34.66]: 550 5.7.0 Blocked - see https://support.proofpoint.com/dnsbl-lookup.cgi?ip=207.69.195.100
It seems that the spam filtering service, proofpoint (who was at the root of the problem with roadrunner blocked emails before), has blacklisted several of Earthlink's IP addresses, probably because they were the source of some email spam. However, there are many legitimate emails also being relayed via these IP addresses, which are being blocked. I called Earthlink, and basically wasted 90 minutes talking to a level 1 tech ("try restarting your computer") and his supervisor ("it's Apple's fault, not ours"). I spoke with Apple, who was more receptive, but unable to help (escalated to iCloud engineers). I personally entered the IP information on ProofPoint's website via their online form for such inconveniences. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. Any suggestions/feedback would be appreciated.
As an aside, I wish I could just jettison Earthlink after all these years - it's an archaic system, with horrendous email. But, I just don't have the time to go to literally hunderds of websites to update my email address. Anyone have any solutions that have worked for them?
Thanks!

Still no resolution on this issue after 48 hours. Emails forwarded from Earthlink to iCloud are still bouncing. I submitted the culprit IP addresses to Proofpoint (for me it was addresses in the range 207.69.195.98 - 207.69.195.101 - there may be many more, of course). If you haven't submitted this info to Proofpoint yet, it's probably a good idea to do so at:
https://support.proofpoint.com/dnsbl-lookup.cgi
Enter the IP address that is being blocked (based on the email bounce message your sending parties receive), and then add your name and destination email address. Hopefully, Proofpoint will open up the corresponding IP range.
For now, I just added my Earthlink account onto my Mail.app accounts and onto to my iPhone (POP). I wish Earthlink had IMAP capability. What an archaic system!

BT is blocking my forwarded emails !

I have a problem with receiving emails which are forwarded from the domain name I own.
That is I have an email address such as [email protected] which is forwarded to my BT email address such as [email protected].
In email testing I can, and other people can, send mail directly to my BT email account, ie to [email protected].
What fails is when email is send to [email protected] . The mail either takes more than a day to arrive or it is bounced back to the sender after about 3 days.
Obviously I want to continue to use my email addresses at my domain name so I have independence from ISP specific addresses. ie I can switch my ISP, change my forwarding and everybody can still email my at the same address without noticing any difference.
This is the interesting bit :-
When I contacted tech support at Netnames (they do my domain registration and email forwarding) and I explain my email problems his first question was : "Are you with BT Broadband ?". When I said yes, he continued to explain that they and other companies (eg 123reg.com) have had problems over the last 7 months with BT greylisting their servers. ie the BT email servers reject the forwarded email. They tell me that BT are denying this is problem and won't admit it to their customers (ie you and me). Also BT refuses to reply to requests for cooperation from these 3rd party companies
I spent 3 hours on a support call with some guy in India on Friday trying to get him to identify the problem. At the end his only recourse was to state that he had checked everything and he could not find any problems because if email works direct to the BT address then that's all that is required. Something I find incredible when as when I challenged him to send me an email to test it he said did not have access to email ! Obviously all the people who tell me that emails sent to me are bouncing must all be liars ???
Has anybody else got this problem and or a solution ?
How do I contact BT broadband complaints to tell them to fix the problem or loose my account ?
Neil

I have put the issue to Ian Livingston (BT Chaiman) and he has kindly forwarded my problem on to his probelm technical team. Just hope this not another bunch of chocolate tea pots like the regular support team.
I am still waiting on the logs from Netnames.
My email is now working again after by-passing my BT email inbox with a new email account.
This is the gobbledegook from one the bounced emails sent to me by someone not on the BT network.
Will post the logs when I can get them.
Regards
Neil

Icloud is blocking all craigslist emails

icloud mail is junking all craigslist emails that are sent from craigslist's new email alias system. All inquiries that people are asking though craigslist now come up as an alais such [email protected] when emailed. How do I white list these false-positives in the junkmail box?

Hello mshaty,
I found some information about troubleshooting false-positives in the iCloud junk mailbox:
Troubleshooting false-positives
Due to the complexity of accurately detecting and filtering out spam, on rare occasions a legitimate email from a friendly source may be blocked from reaching your Inbox. This is called a false-positive. If you feel that a legitimate email message was inadvertently filtered, you may want to ask your friend to send a follow up email to verify the issue exists before contacting support. If you notice that multiple email messages are being delayed, bounced, or not delivered, please contact iCloud Support directly.
Also make sure to check your Junk folder for email messages that were incorrectly marked as spam. To check your Junk folder from iCloud.com, choose the Mail application and click the Junk folder in the sidebar.
Note: Email messages in the Junk folder are automatically deleted after 30 days.

How do I forward eMail from my Mac to iCloud and my iPad

Been using a Mac for many years, but earlier today I activated my first iOS device, an iPad. Am running OS X 10.8.2 and I have an iCloud account. I have multiple eMail accounts on my Mac. How do I get my Mac to automatically forward eMail to iCloud so that it's available for my iPad to receive it?
With kind regards,

The way I have it set up is > Setup the email accounts on your iPad as you have them setup on you Mac, that way they will be delivered to both. On my iMac I have it set to remove emails from server but on the iPad I do not. I reciev all of my emails on both, but if I delete any from my iMac they are removed from my iPad automaticlly. (that way I do not have so much trouble when I get a lot of emails nneded to be deleted from my iPad.

My iCloud server is bouncing email

For some reason email addressed to my account is recognized as spam, even though it is not. I checked the sending account's IP address [noted below] with MXTOOLBOX, it isn't coming up bad. Then I checked the account IP listed in the bounce message and likewise. Why is the iCloud server bouncing back emails addressed to me? Here is the bounce notification I received... (obfuscated my email for security reasons).
Email clipping:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
h*******@me.com
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<h*******@me.com>:
host mx4.mail.icloud.com [17.158.8.62]: 550 5.7.0 Blocked - see https://support.proofpoint.com/dnsbl-lookup.cgi?ip=23.235.201.172:
I tried sending from another email address and that works OK. So I conclude that me.com server software has mistakenly declared my email as spam for some unknown reason. How can this be fixed?

You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I am not receiving emails from a static IP address becasue icloud server thinks its spam when it isn't

I am not receiving emails only from on preson. they get a message bumped back to them indicating that there is a DHCP block from there static IP address. What I gather is the icloud server thinks these emails are spam coming from the IP address so it's blocking it. How do you unblock it becasue it's not spam?

the email provider is icloud.com email address. It has blocked a specific static IP address that is a customer I do regular business with. I get all other emails just fine. I event sent an email to myself from my work email which is from a static DHCP server and it went through with no problems. It appears the icloud server has blocked a specific IP address because they think it's spam or something in a title of an email may have looked like it had illegal content. So I guess the email provider is Apple? Who do you contact? I know that they can change this by unmasking the IP address.

Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?

Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?
I currently have an iPhone and iPad, and am soon changing over to a Mac. When that happen I'd like to try to see what I can migrate over from the Google ecosystem to the iCloud ecosystem.
1) Currently I have the Gmail iOS app (a webapp container) that can search server-side of several years of email archive. Can iCloud do this using the iOS native mail application? Or is the search just limited to what the device has downloaded locally?
2) Do I have to use a @me.com address for the full iCloud email sync to take place between server, Mac, and iOS devices?
Believe it or not I've read quite a bit about the iCloud services, but the answers to these questions were far from clear. Many thanks for the help.

2) iCloud only syncs email between .me/.mac addresses. For other accounts like google, you set up the account in the mail app and if they're IMAP accounts, you can sync between the google server and any devices you have defined that account on.
I'm not absolutely sure about 1) since I haven't had to search going back years - I use MailSteward for that on the mac. On my iPhone/iPad, when I go into a mailbox and the emails are not immediately available, it downloads them. I suspect for a search, you need the emails downloaded.

I want to change my iCloud account. Buying iPad we gave a virtual (forwarding) email addr. We need to change to a real address. But when we try to change the iCloud account, we can only change the password. Note: we don't have Mac, only iPad and Windows.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Lately have a problem forwarding email from FoxNews,I click on Goggle to use it says Safari cannot connect with the server, have tried deleting cache and cookies and also resetting Safari with no success, can you help me?

LATELY HAVING A PROBLEM FORWARDING EMAIL VIA GOGGLE FROM FOX NEWS ARTICLES, WHEN I CLICK ON GOGGLE I SEE SAFARI CANNOT CONNECT WITH SERVER.
HAVE TRIED DELETING CACHE AND COOKIE, HISTORY AND RESETTING SAFARI WITH NO SUCCESS.
ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WOULD BE GREATING APPRECIATED.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME USING THIS FORUM, NEW AT THE COMPUTER WORLD.
HOPE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
THANK YOU!

It isn't Goggle. Did you make sure you went to Google?

After 7.0.6 upgrade Icloud email "Cannot Connect To Server". All other email works fine.

After upgrade to 7.0.6 both IPad and iPhone now will not send or receive Icloud email while at home. Get "Cannot connect to server " message. All other email accounts (google, verizon) work fine. Plus the "last backup" information unavailable as well as icloud storage information. Says unavailable, try again later. Also cannot view body of emails sent or received in the last 2 days. I am at work now and all works normally. If this is a wifi issue, I I do not understand why all other email accounts are sending receiving ok. It's only the Icloud server that seems to be the problem.

Hey there KevGelay!
I have an article for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your ability to access iCloud mail:

ICloud forwards email even though the option is no longer checked

Anyone have this issue? I was forwarding my iCloud @me.com email address to Gmail for a while, but have decided to use iCloud again. I unchecked the forward email box, yet the emails still consistently forward to my Gmail account. Nothing I do works. I've tried making it forward to other email addresses, and it still doesn't work, and it continues to forward to my Gmail account.
Any ideas?

It might just be failing rather than not starting. This can be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

TS4083 emails sent from my iPhone do not update the iCloud server or my computer

I have a problem that emails that I send from my iPhone do not appear in my computer or in the sent folder in the iCloud server. Any help with this? I have a lot ef sent emails from my iPhone that I don't want to lose!!

Yes, iCloud is my default mail.
The problem I see with deleting the account is that I fear I will lose the sent mails which are only stored in the iPhone but nowhere else. I have also realised that the only emails that the iCloud server Sent foilder has stored are the ones that I sent from my Macbook and not the ones I sent from the iPhone. So in Summary:
- Emails sent from MacBook Air - stored on the iCloud server and MacBook
- Emails sent from iPhone - stored on Sent folder on iPhone
Any further thoughts?

Forwarding mail from Exchange server to an External email address (SBS 2003)

Hi
I hope someone can help me the above question. I need to forward email sent to a particular exchange email account to an external gmail one. i have set this up by creating a contact, I have altered the users Exchange general with the new contact. I have
also made sure mail forwarding is enabled. I have been though all the basic steps to make this work. and tried many other things. i simply cannot get it to work. if an email is sent internally then it forwards it out fine. anything incoming will not forward.
I looked at the NDR and it is clearly being blocked from leaving. i just cant see how to allow this. i get the following code. smtp;554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: You're not allowed
to send from that domain.
Many thanks in anticipation
Paul

Are you using a smarthost? maybe you can test it to deliver mail trough DNS instead of a Smarthost.

Can't forward emails; contacts are in icloud and won't come up when I push cc

I can't forward email in Outlook. I used to just forward to myself then use cc to forward to other contacts that would come up when I pushed cc. Now everything has been moved to icloud and it won't come up to cc anyone. My iphone broke so they sent me a refurbished on and since I since I backed up my old phone and installed the sim card into the new one I have had nothing but issues...this being the worst. Another issue is that since then all the songs I had on my old phone are not there anymore. The nearest Apple store is 250 miles from me. Not sure Apple and icloud is the way to go. Does anyone know what is going on with this???

Outlook 2013 isn't supported at this time. Outlook 2007 and 2010 are. Microsoft has not yet decided to make 2013 compatible.
