Junk mail exceptions for domains

I've searched the forums and cannot find an answer to my question.
Leopard Mail marks a lot of my good mail from school as junk. Is there anyway to keep Mail from marking all emails from "@school.edu" as junk? The school email system already has a pretty good spam filter on it, and so 99.99% of the emails from "@school.edu" are legitimate.
Might a rule fix this? I can't figure out how I would structure it.

I was just hoping to give this thread a bump, see if there was an answer, even a "No, it's not possible."
I have the same issue, a lot of school e-mails get marked as junk, and it makes me cautious to enable junk mail filtering so that I don't lose important e-mails. I was surprised that "Mark" as "Not Junk" wasn't an available option for the filtering rules.
Any help is appreciated!

  • How Can I Turn OFF Junk Mail Filter for IMAP Accounts Only?

    I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Junk Mail filtering for IMAP accounts such as .Mac/.ME and GMAIL. All filtering is working fine on the server side, and reviewing the mail that is tagged is easy enough by just going to the account and displaying the folders created on the server.
    I've checked the Junk mail pref and although the Advance settings let you isolate specific accounts to check, it does not give you the option bypass checking an account.
    i.e.
    if <Any> of the following conditions are met:
    <Account> <is not> <Gmail (IMAP)>
    As is, the mail rules are working perfectly on the server side, but in Apple Mail, many mails are being sent the Apple Mail's Junk folder.
    When going through the Gmail's instructions on setting up a Gmail account for Apple Mail, it specifically says to turn off Junk mail filtering for the account, but I can't find any options to do that.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA

    I haven't tried this, but it should work:
    Make a new rule,
    If <Any> <Account> is <Gmail> or <Account> is <.me> then "Stop evaluating rules".
    Move this rule to the last in the list of rules.
    In the Junk Mail preferences, be sure that "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" is unchecked.

    How can I disable the Junk mail folder for an email account?

    Hi scottyfrank68,
    Junk mail filtering can be turned off by going to the Mail menu > Preferences > Junk Mail pane and unchecking the box Enable junk mail filtering. See this article -

  • Disabling junk mail filtering for specific domains

    I have a situation where I am getting dozens of messages from individuals all in a specific domain, and all are good messages which I want in my inbox; Mail however thinks they are all junk and moves them to the junk folder. They are NOT brown so I cannot select them and say they are not junk mail, they look like regular email. These are from people I do NOT want in my address book yet they are messages I need to respond to.
    How can I tell the junk mail filter that massages from a given domain should not be filtered? In short, I want just the right-hand-side of the address, the domain component, to be given the OKAY!
    Thanks - Lawrence

    Thanks - I tried the advance tab but could not see how to specify a domain but now I look again I see that there is a way - I think. But Kappy, what you say tells me something I did not know: I thought that filters, rules, et al, were applied when a message is in the inbox - but I have this wrong I think. If I read your reply rightly - the message is examined for junk filters, rules, et al, BEFORE it gets assigned to ANY mailbox! Am I right? This is how your suggestion would work. So I can have an initial rule that simple uses a list of approved domains - and sticks anything from such a domain into the inbox where no more filtering or rule analysis will take place. And the more I think about this, the more it makes sense.
    Thanks - Lawrence

  • Dislaimer for all outgoing mails, excepting some domains?

    I'm still trying to add a Disclaimer to all outgoing mails. Actually, I need some help to add such a Disclaimer to nearly all outgoing mails, excepting some specific domains and for the right syntax:
    I know that I can add a message filter with the action 'add-footer' through CLI like this:
    if (recv listener == "OutboundMail" AND (not only-body-contains ('some unique text from my company disclaimer'),1)
    {add-footer('name of previously in GUI added dislcaimer-text');}
    else
    { deliver();}
    My questions:
    a) How can I prevent such a Disclaimer for every recipient in the domain "@company-without-disclaimer.com"?
    b) How should I write that for multiple recipient-domains without disclaimer?
    c) Is it important to write the listener-name and the disclaimer-name in the above code with ' (single quote) or " (double quotes)?
    d) Are the brace brackets {} set correct?
    e) Should I enter the entire disclaimer-text for the body-scan? I'm not sure if our actually one is 'unique' - maybe other companies has the same or a very similar one. Should I add multiple parts to looking for? How do you do that?
    Thank you for every help in advance!

    I can't figure out how to add the NOT-command.
    It works for me as written in my previous example.
    And could you please tell me something to my other questions c), d) and e)?
    "C" and "d" are very basic questions documented in the "Message Filters" section of the Advanced User Guide. Single or double quotes are both fine. The curly braces are probably OK as you've written them, but putting whitespace around them might be necessary (the docs don't say).
    As for the disclaimer text, that's hard to get perfect. It depends on your threat model. If you just want to be reasonably well assured that it gets put in, then pick out some bit of the disclaimer that is unlikely to appear elsewhere and check for that. But if you want to make sure that your own people can't spoof the process by embedding that bit in a message in order to avoid getting the disclaimer (not a likely threat in my opinion), then you'd need to check for the whole thing. Depending on how long it is, it might be safer to check for it piecemeal rather than all at once. I really can't say since I've never tried this. Or you could just add the footer unconditionally. At worst, you'd only end up with multiple instances of the footer in some messages, and it would only be in those messages which pass through your ESA more than once.

  • 3rd party junk mail filter for Mail?

    Does anybody know of one that works? I have been dutifully labeling junk mail as junk, and it just doesn't work. I am so sick of graphic images and lubricious subject lines. Anybody? Does anything exist that really works?

    Gmail puts all the spam messages inside a mailbox called spam, I've configured Mail to bind the spam folder in the server to the junk mailbox. Spam messages are download but correctly to junk mailbox.
    If I create a filter to move all email to inbox I believe this filter will move spam messages, that cames from gmail already in the right spam folder, to inbox.
    The option you suggested is already marked. The problem is that Mail sometimes gives false positives as junk mail and GMail doesn't that is why I want to set Mail to not filter gmail messages.
    I belive I was clearer now, let me know if it still confusing.

  • Junk Mail Help?

    I have a problem. I am being bombarded with Spam and Junk mail. I know that somehow you can access something in mail that would help me with my junk mail, except I'm not sure how. Everytime I get Spam that i don't want i click the Junk icon next to the Delete icon, and i guess mail recognizes it as junk. But then i keep getting more of the same junk without mail doing anything about it, instead the icon that used to say "Junk" now says "Not Junk". Please can someone help me out here?
    Thanks

    But then i keep getting more of the same junk without mail doing
    anything about it, instead the icon that used to say "Junk" now says
    "Not Junk".
    The icon shows Not Junk for a message that has not been automatically marked as Junk when received?
    Spammers are constantly changing/tweaking their methods to bypass Junk Mail filters but if the Junk Mail filter is no longer working properly, you can reset the Junk Mail filter at Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail and if you have Junk Mail set to Automatic, you can leave it set to Automatic when doing so.
    Check Why was I "spammed" at my .Mac Mail address? which applies to any email account.
    Do you automatically render all HTML received? If so, check Mac OS X Mail: How HTML Email Messages Relate to Unsolicited Commercial Email ("spam") which applies to any email client such as the Mail.app.

  • One, very pesky junk mail.

    Hi someone is using my email address as a 'from' and my address again as 'to' in order to avoid my junk mail filter. My junk mail set up stops all junk mail except this one. I'm at a loss as far as being able to stop this mail. Can anyone shed some light on this?
    Thanks
    John

    I think the only way to stop this would be to block yourself from sending yourself an email...
    This might work for some that don't send themselves emails but may not work for others who want to send themselves emails.

  • OS X 10.5.6 Junk Mail Folder won't let me see inside

    I posted this question already this morning but the post is now missing.... I need help. I deleted a tabbed folder attached to the junk mail folder without realizing that that folder was the junk mail folder for my account. Now, I can see that there is Junk mail (it says 25) but when I hit the Junk Mail folder icon, it shows that folder is missing.... I need to get the 2 re-connected so that I can see the contents of this folder.
    If I go to the Finder and open the Junk Mail folder in my user/lib/mail account, I can view the junk mail if I drag them over the Mail application icon.
    How can I get the Junk mail folder "reintialized" ?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Lori
    I can't get any lower than my documents folder. I have multiple folders inside my documents folderFirstly, I take it you have clicked the disclosure triangle to the right of the "Save As" box? This should then show you a list of folders. Double click on one, and you'll see it's content, including other folders that you can double click, to as low a level as you like.
    Is there something I need to set in System Preferences?No, this should be standard behaviour.

  • Junk mail still pushing to iPhone 4s

    I have turned off junk mail push for my hotmail account on my iPhone 4s but am still getting every junk mail in the folder pushed to my phone, anyone know how to fix that?

    Yes it is.
    When you select an account's Inbox mailbox, the account is checked for new email.
    All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP and Exchange account are kept synchronized with the server.

  • Junk mail weirdness

    I am having some junk mail filter weirdness. When I have filtering enabled, mail randomly grabs a regular, already opened e-mail and throws it into the junk mail box. I turned off junk mail filtering for several weeks because of this problem. I re-enabled junk mail today, highlighted some junk messages and dragged them into the junk folder. Mail then grabbed an old message and threw it into the junk. I dragged that message into a folder and emptied the junk folder. Immediately another older message appeared in the junk folder. I dragged it out and quit mail. I then started mail and another old message is in the junk. Is anyone else having this problem? Any help is appreciated.

    I have the same issue. Even though the help system referenced it, there is not a Not Junk option - I've looked high and low. A number of my regular emails are getting marked as junk and I have no way to get them marked as Not Junk for future reference. I thought that perhaps dragging them to the inbox was maybe the transparent way of marking them as Not Junk. But they continued to be marked as junk. And some of these emails are from addresses that are in my contacts.
    I'm running Exchange through Apple Mail.

  • 'Junked' RSS items bug: stuck in junk mail count

    I accidentally marked some RSS feed items as junk mail when I clicked the wrong button. This caused the count of unread junkmail in my junk folder to go up, but the RSS feed entries do not appear in the junk folder. Since they don't appear there, I can't mark them as read to eliminate the count of new messages, I can't move them back from the junk folder to the RSS feed, and I can't just delete them.
    I have tried removing the RSS subscription from Mail, and I have tried rebuilding Mail's envelope index. Neither of these things worked, as my junk folder still has a count of 19 unread messages, even though there are no unread messages there.
    So, what can I do to get rid of these phantom items?

    I finally got the unread count to be removed by erasing all my junk mail (Mailbox > Erase Junk Mail). I like to keep my junk mail around for a few days just in case something I need gets put into the junk folder, so having to delete all of it wasn't ideal, but also not a big issue either.

  • Junk Mail filtering possible when there is no "From" or "Subject"???

    I have been getting a number of messages where the "From","Subject", and message body are blank Fields. I have marked all of these, and they're irritatingly frequent, as junk and left them in the junk mail folder for weeks... but they have yet to be re-directed automatically by the filter. I have had really good luck w/ my filter thus far.
    Unfortunately, I cant find a 'condition' in the filters that would address this.
    Mail will not let you leave the text field blank... Is there some string I can use to get past this?

    Mail's Junk filter is based on an analysis of the content of the message. Since these messages have (apparently) no content, there is nothing to analyze, so it is not surprising that the filter doesn't learn to recognize them. Incidentally, the analysis -- and any "learning" -- is done at the time the message is filtered. Leaving the message in the Junk folder for weeks won't do any good. The only reason to have messages in the Junk folder is so that you can review them and rescue any that landed there by mistake. Once you are satisfied that everything there is really junk, you can delete them.
    There seems to be a lot of this blank message issue going around. I have seen a number of reports lately, especially in the Leopard Mail forum. I got two over the weekend, but only two so far.

  • Stop Junk Mail

    When I log into mac mail on my apple computer, mac mail does a good job sending junk mail to the "junk" folder. How can I prevent this from being forwarded to my iphone? Every junk email I get goes to my iPhone4 email's inbox. How can I prevent this? Thanks.

    If you would need a delete all for all messages received by your POP account and it receives what you call a "massive" amount of spam, why do you want to continue accessing the account in the first place? It may be time to give this account up. If you are receiving that much spam with your POP account, your POP account has been severely compromised in regards to spammers. Once the cat is that far out of the bag, there is no getting it back. Once an email address has been placed on a "known good" list with a spammer and has been that compromised receiving a massive amount of spam, it is way too late. Spammers trade/sell "known good" email address lists. Placed on a "known good" list can occur when any HTML is rendered from a remote server with received spam and when selecting any links included with received spam. I use a free email account such as Yahoo with webmail access only when making an online purchase that requires an email address or when an email address is required for website access, or when provided publicly in any fashion that can be more easily compromised, and my main email account is used to exchange email with family and friends only. I receive very little spam with my main email account.
    There is an option to select multiple emails for deletion at once, but I would seriously consider making the switch to another email account to be your primary account such as with your MobileMe account or with a free Gmail account. Google has an excellent spam filter at the server, and Apple's spam filter at the server has also improved. You could also use the junk mail filter with the Mail.app on your Mac as the junk mail filter for the account with your iPhone without any Mail.app rules by leaving the Mail.app on your Mac launched and running actively checking the account for new messages while your iPhone is doing the same. Since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account, the Mail.app's junk mail filter can be doing the same for the account on your iPhone remotely.
