Junk Mail (Spam)

Lately I've been receiving 3 or 4 mails a day with no address and no subject also no message, just the date received and time received. Please help me get rid of this and put it in the trash?

This is a company email address as such I cannot change it. Is there someway to make a rule or something that will dump this junk into the trash, tired of deleting it by hand? The email is on our products and other items as well, no way I'm getting rid of it. I have marked them as junk in junk mail but they do not go into the junk folder they just remain in my inbox. When opened these email have no header, there is no from subject or any text whatsoever. There are no detectable virus within these emails they are just a pain to delete.

How to never get junk mail

Help ^^^^

Greetings christopherfromnewnan,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It would be great to never receive spam / junk mail. There are several strategies that can help reduce, and hopefully eliminate, the amount of junk email you receive. You can find some good tips in these articles:
iCloud: Identifying and filtering junk mail - Apple Support

All the best,

Junk Mail Sreening dosn't flag spam

Hello,
I'm trying to get "Junk Mail Sreening" (as they call it in the manual) to work but having little or no success.
We're running on a 10.4.6 Server and configuration chnages have been made with "Server Admin".
First thing I did was enabling virus scanning which worked right out of the box, wih one single exception:
Infected mails won't get deleted as configered in SA but rather will be quarantined in /var/virusmails.
However what doesn't seen to work is junk mail screening.
Here are the relevant settings from within Server Admin in SA's plist format:
<key>required_hits</key>
<integer>5</integer>
<key>spam_action</key>
<string>deliver</string>
<key>spam_enabled</key>
<true/>
<key>spamloglevel</key>
<string>warn</string>
<key>spamnotifyadmin</key>
<false/>
<key>spamnotify_adminemail</key>
<string>[email protected]</string>
<key>spamoklanguages</key>
<string>en fr de</string>
<key>spamoklocales</key>
<string>en</string>
<key>spam_quarantine</key>
<string>[email protected]</string>
<key>spamrewritesubject</key>
<true/>
<key>spamscanenabled</key>
<true/>
<key>spamsubjecttag</key>
<string>* JUNK MAIL *</string>
which result in the folling settings within /etc/amavisd.conf
$satag_leveldeflt = -999;
$satag2_leveldeflt = 5.0;
$sakill_leveldeflt = 22.0;
$saspam_subjecttag = '* JUNK MAIL *';
$saspam_modifiessubj = 1;
I then sent myself ([email protected] in the following log) a GTUBE junk mail (see http://spamassassin.apache.org/gtube/) from a mail account in a different domain (here: mail.sender.org) which should trigger the recognition of that particular mail being spam and to take the appropriate action as defined in SA.
Here's what's in /var/log/amavisd.log:

As ar as I see, SpamAssassin gets called and rates the mail as spam with a hit-rate of 1000.124 using its buil-in rule GTUBE (see line 6 of the log)
Since the hit rate is far above $sakill_leveldeflt, I would expect both addition of X-Spam-Deteced headers and modification of the mail's subject line, but not even spam-info-headers are added to the mail. The only header that gets added (and the only proof that makes me believe the mail really has gone through amavisd screening) is
X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at mail.receiver.com
Curently this looks like a major problem in amavisd but I have no clue what to do now.

Is there a comprehensive list of what X-Spam headers Apple Mail will look at when determining junk mail status?

Apple Mail has a preference to 'Trust junk mail headers in messages' but I can not find a list of what those headers are. By trial and error I've learned the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" will work (exactly that, no extra info), but I'd like to know what other options there are... particularly if I can send a score/rating back and have it look at that.
But I can't find a list of supported headers. The Internet is full of "common spam headers" and yet none of them actually seem to work -- and lots of people who can't get it working with spamassassin which is incredibly common...
So... is there such a list?

I'm in the process of trying to get this information for a client. Even with a paid AppleCare agreement, the only answer I'm getting is "look in the forums" and "look on the developer site" (although I have to give credit to the Tier-1 rep who's trying to help me.) The impression I'm getting is that they consider an exact list of header names to be proprietary information for some reason, and are going to great pains to try not to give out the information, but also to not create ill will amongst their customers by explicitly saying "that's proprietary".

Spam fighting Idea for Email Users-Beyond Junk Mail

I get so much junk mail I was hoping there was a way to automatically bounce back anything that got classified as junk. Then the important person who sent the email could use the old telephone for contact if they found they weren't getting their communication through. There would be an added bonus of all the emails that were junk would look the same (Mail Delivery System) and faster to delete.
Does anyone else think this is a good idea or is it just stupid.

Do you use this email address for public purposes, such as for online purchases, or for website access if an email address is required for access, or provide it for anything and everything when an email address is requested or required?
Do you automatically render all HTML received? If so, and a spammer includes embedded images or objects with HTML formatting that must be rendered from a remote server to be viewed, you are notifying the spammer that your email address is valid or "known good" causing even more spam to be received. When the Mail.app's Junk Mail filter correctly marks a message as junk when received, and the spammer includes embedded images or objects that must be rendered from a remote server to be viewed, these will not be rendered when such a message is marked as junk as a security measure. But this does not apply if such a junk message is not marked as junk when received, which is why automatically rendering all HTML when received is not a good idea.
Have you ever selected a link included with a spam message - any link, and especially a remove your address from the circulation list link? If so, you have done nothing but notify the spammer that your email address is valid or "known good" causing even more spam to be received.
Spammers sell/trade their "known good" email address lists to each other, causing even more spam.
If you have done any or all of these things, you have inadvertently and unknowingly added to the amount of spam you are receiving.
Once an email address is so badly compromised, it is impossible to get the cat back in the bag.
The best thing to do is to have a personal email address that is used to exchange email with family and friends only. Do not use this email address for online purchases, or for any other public consumption. Get a free Hotmail account that is accessed via webmail only using a browser to be used for online purchases and for public consumption.
A Gmail account is free, can be accessed as an IMAP or POP account with an email client on your computer, has webmail access, has an authenticated SMTP server so you can send messages with the account regardless the ISP being used for your internet connection, and Gmail has a good spam filter at their incoming mail server.
You don't want to reply to, bounce back, select any links, or render any HTML for spam for a number of reasons.

Junk mail confusion - is this spam?

I have long been confused by certain behaviour of Mac Mail.
When Mail identifies spam (on my Mac, at least), it marks it by changing the text colour in the preview pane brown and moves it to the Junk folder, as per my preferences.
However, I get some mail which does not qualify as Junk Mail or Spam as, according to the rules, it is from a previous recipient but Mail leaves it in the Inbox (or moves it, depending on my custom rules) and marks it by making the background of the preview pane brown but the text is still black.
If I click on this mail and mark it as spam, it then moves to the Junk folder. If I then click on it and mark it as not spam, it changes to the normal black text on white background in the preview pane - so there is something which makes me think that this is related to Junk/Spam. I have messed around with flags but they do not seem to have anything to do with this.
I really don't have a clue why this happens and have searched for years to find out without any success.
Any ideas?

In addition to Corky's suggestion on the right hand side of your profile page is this box:
Click Manage email notifications. This manages any current email notifications you are receiving.

Junk mail and spam - learning mode?

Have been receiving unsolicited stock picks and viagara offers and move them to junk email folder that I created. Someone mentioned on a forum that a .mail account has a learning mode to help filter spam. I can't locate it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Look up the topic "Changing the junk mail filter" in Mail's Help to learn about Mail's built-in junk filter.

Spam/Junk mail--am I "sending" spam?

I have been receiving a large amount of junk mail lately--50+ messages a day. I also have been receiving a large amount of "rejection" messages from accounts that I don't even know from places all over the world.
From reading some threads here, it seems that an infected Windows machine somewhere that has my email address may be sending these rogue messages....
This morning I got a message from my mail provider stating that I have exceeded my "daily limit" on outgoing messages...I'm not sure if this was an issue with their server (an hour later it worked fine) or if my Mac is actually sending some rogue messages or if an infected machine is actually using my mail server/account to send messages.
Thanks!

Infected or not, no machine can actually send spam through your email account unless it has that account's password. The fact that you are receiving both lots of spam & lots of rejection notices indicates that your email address (but not your password) is probably on one or more spammer's "known good" address lists. These lists provide not just target addresses for spam but also forged sender ones to make spam look more legitimate to others.
Your provider probably imposes limits on the number of messages you can send, the size of each message, the number of recipients per message or per day, or some combination of these. If you are sure you know the limits for your account & have not exceeded any of them, you should contact the provider to find out why the notice was sent, since this may mean that someone does have your account password.

Junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection or 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam.

junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. from the flags, i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection. Formerly clicking on the email address in question would allow one to 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam. I've adjusted all the settings under mail preferences, but that is not helping.

Hello Diane162,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to be able to filter some of the junk mail that you are receiving in Mail. The attached article has a lot of great information on junk mail filtering, including how to mark as junk and adjust the junk filter.

I am getting bombarded with spam. I mark it as junk mail , but it does not stop!, I am getting bombarded with spam. I mark it as junk mail , but it does not stop!

How do I get rid of all the spam? I have been marking it as junk mail, but to no avail.

You simply cannot do that, you must ignore it and delete it on daily basis.

I want when the user receives a spam I want to go to junk-email not inbox.

Hi,
Thanks for your detailed configuration steps.
As the Anti-Spam workflow article, I suggest double check whether the “spamhuas” in the IP Allow List.
1. Connection Filtering
IP Allow List -> IP Block List -> Safe Provider List -> IP Block Provider’s RBL
1) If sender IP in IP Alllow List, the message flow to Sender filtering directly. If not, it flows to IP Block List.
2) If sender IP in IP Block List, the message is rejected and applied no other filters. If not, it flows to Safe Provider List.
3) If spamhaus in Safe Provider List, the message flow to Sender filtering directly. If not, it flows to IP Block Provider List.
4) If in IP Block Provider’s RBL, the message is rejected and applied no other filters. If not, it flows to Sender filtering.
2. Sender Filtering
Please add spam senders into Blocked Sender and select “Reject message” action.
3. Content Filtering
Please configure the Custom Words, “Allow messages containing these words or phrases:” and “Block messages containing these words or phrases (messages containing words or phrases listed above will not be blocked):”.
Thanks

HT4865 Spam/junk mail

How can keep spam/junk mail from getting in to my inbox? Lately I've been inundated (on a daily) with spam.

Add your contacts to VIP folder. Quickly go through regular folder and if you see anything that you need move to VIP as well, delete the rest. Using VIP for contacts allows to concentrate on important. I have been using Hotmail like that, they allow to use inbox for contacts only and everything else goes to junk. Takes me one minute a day to purge through 50 emails, pull two or three that I need and delete the rest.

SPAM/JUNK MAIL

hi,
We are using exchange 2013 and office 365. all the configurations have been done well and we are up and running, however users complain they receive junk mails. i have enabled the policy in the content filtering i.e. apply sensitive word list and SPF record,
but still get junk emails.
i do not wish to apply policies, that will be block genuine mails as well.
kindly help me on this.

Hi,
I suggest double check the content filtering configuration if you sure the issue is caused by the content filtering feature.
I also find an article on Anti-Spam and Antivirus mail flow for your reference:

Spam/Junk mail button

So where exactly are the "Spam" or "Junk Mail" buttons in iPhone OS

The iPhone's mail client does not include a junk mail filter.
With an IMAP account, you can leave the email client on your computer that is used for accessing the account launched and running, which includes a spam filter. You can store the account's junk mailbox on the server with an IMAP account. Any message received that is marked as junk with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account (and moved to the account's junk mailbox stored on the server) will be reflected automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's mail client. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.

HT2500 Why is there no way to assign Junk Mail to a Spam file in my Yahoo?

Why is there no way to assign Junk Mail to a Spam file in my OSX Mail App - Yahoo account. I can do it online at Yahoo, but not thru OSX Mail App? And why is there no 'NOT JUNK' button to restore items mistakenly sent to Junk Mail? There is in the G-mail file on the App (I think!).

There normally is a thumbs up button in the top of the e-mail which allows you to mark it as not junk. The screen shot shows a thumbs down, but replace that with a thumbs up.
