Mac Mail sending out blank messages occasionally

Hi
I am hoping someone can shed some light as I am frustrated.
A couple of months ago, we have been hearing back from people that our messags were blank, all that is readable is the subject line.
It doesn't happen all the time, but I am only made aware of this if a person replies back. It has happened to me 4 times yesterday alone, not sure how many I am unaware off.
As we run a business we could be losing potential clients. I have discussed this with apple who keep directing me back to our host, and they keep sending me back to Apple. So I am having no luck fixing this problem.
We have been using the same host for the past 12 years never any issues and also have been using them since we convereted to Apple Mac 2 years ago.
If anyone else is having these issues, and if it has been resolved would love to hear from you.
Thanks
S

Can you reproduce the problem? If the answer is no, there's no hope of solving it.

Mac Mail sending out multiple e-mails

Dear All,
My friend reports that today he is receiving 3 copies of every e-mail message that I send him. I'm working on a Mac Pro, Lion 10.7.5, using Mac Mail through Yahoo, and I have only one account. I have an iPod touch, but I have never sent e-mail through that device nor signed up for it on the iPod -- I only use my Mac desktop for sending and receiving e-mails. Anyone else having this recent problem? I never had it before today! Thanks.

Are you sure it's the Mac sending out the spam, or just spam masquerading as coming from your email account (the From: line is ridiculously simple to forge)?
While it's clearly possible to devise a system to cause a Mac to send out spam email (or any other computer for that matter), it wouldn't be terribly efficient for the spammer. Even when they take over zombie machines (and unpatched Windows XP systems are the favorites there) the spammer would prefer to use the machine to send out all kinds of email *AND* would attempt not to draw attention to the actual machine sending out the stuff.
That is, where it *appears* to be coming from will generally not be where it is coming from.
What malware prefers to do is "harvest" an address book from a user's computer (or, more often these days, from an online address book after phishing the credentials from the user) and then using that to send out emails to your contacts that look like they come from you so that they are more likely to be opened. If that's what has happened, there's nothing you could do to the Mac at this point to get that data back.
Again, while it is clearly possible to harvest that data under either OSX or Windows 7 from your address book in either platform, it is considerably more difficult to do that than to go after your credentials for an online site using a phishing attack and then make use of the contact information.

Why is mail sending out multiple messages

I have noticed that my sent mail has been sent numerous times

10.9 has many problems with Mail.app, I only have one POP account setup in it, but never sends duplicates.
Not much of an idea, but does this addy you're sending from have some aliases?
Is there any Group name involved?
If you just send to yourself does it send 5? If so Show Long Headers & look for the To: feild... might also do that on your Sent mails come to think of it... To: CC: & BCC:

Mail is creating blank messages in the Notes:On My Mac folder.

Mail is creating blank messages in my Notes:On My Mac folder
It is currently doing it every 3 seconds. So after 5 minutes I have 100 new notes.
Does anyone know how to make this stop?
Some observations:
The notes only get created if Mail is open.
The messages appear blank and are interpreted by mail as messages, not as notes, and have the following headers:
Message-Id: <[email protected]>
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v928.1)
Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII
X-Universally-Unique-Identifier: ac371d40-78ea-44de-b2b4-1cf93a1e5c60
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I see correlated CPU usage bursts in Activity Monitor for: distnoted (~0.8%), Mail (~50%), SyncServer (~60%), fseventsd (~0.4%), Finder (~1%).
The notes get created regardless of the presence or absence of a network connection.
On my other iMac the same problem exists but the frequency is lower: a pair of notes is created every 15 minutes or so. The problem also exists on my MacBook Pro.
The frequency on this iMac was lower when I first noticed the problem.
I am a .Mac/MobileMe user and all three computers are registered for synchronization.
Has anyone seen this problem?

Hello David,
I had a much more acute version of this problem on both my Macs. I first mentioned this problem here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7752479#7752479
The only thing that worked for me was disabling Notes syncing and deleting all my Notes. This is not an ideal solution but to have a functional computer I had to take that drastic step (after trying many remedies offered on this forum).

The inbox for Mac Mail lists every incoming message twice. When I delete a message it deleted both entries. I have tried the solution in "help" and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I am wondering if anyone is seeing my question? This is my first time and I am not sure if I am communicating correctly. If you are seeing the question above regading deleted messages reappearing please reply so I will at least know I am getting the message out.
Thank you.

My mac mail sends a false return address

my mac mail sends a false return address.
isp (Att yahoo) indicates false return address is one of thiers, but cannot understand how our computer finds it inorder to send out. The false address lists an odd email server (pimout) instead of sbcglobal ([email protected]).
isp suggests mac mail must be making contact with the server, and finding this address, some how in a search for it's appropriate address is the theory, because it is one of their's.....but has never been our address..
So, I don't really care why, but figure if I trash the right lib/pref file, I can lose this problem.
help

Paul, this is not a very clear description of your problem, but let's give it a try;
In your Preferences for Mail, Accounts, what do you have there as email name? the correct address?
Can you send me an email (provided somewhere in my profile when you click on my name) so I can see what the data in there looks like?

How do I change the hostname used when Mac Mail sends EHLO

Hi All,
I work for a tech support group and one of our clients is experiencing some trouble sending emails. When they connect to their outbound mail server Mac Mail sends the EHLO command with a hostname like 01:23:45:67:89:ab.home
Another Mac on the network sends a hostname like 00:A0:C9:14:C8:29.home2
So they appear to be the a Mac address for the computers NIC followed by a generic location in this case .home, not sure if thats a generic Mac thing or something they chose to configure but because the hostname is not an ip address and contains ".(dot)home" the outbound mail server our client uses believes it to be a domain so then rejects it as an invalid domain when a lookup on it fails.
I've changed the hostname of one of the Macs using the command "cutil –-set HostName new_hostname"
This has changed the hostname when checking it by the hostname command in a Terminal but Mac Mail still persists in using the old hostname. We've tried rebooting the machine and rebooting the machine with the left shift key held down as I believe this does some kind of rebuild of configuration files, but still the old hostname is send when Mac Mail sends EHLO.
How can I force Mac Mail to pick up the new hostname or is there something else I need to do to change it?
thanks for any assistance you can provide,
Martin

Replying to myself:
You can sign out from the account in iBooks and then sign in to another one.
From the menu bar, choose: Store->Sign Out
Then sign in again with the desired ID: Store->Sign In

Printer sending out blank sheets

When I try to print to my Epson CX8400 from my MacBook Pro it generates multiple sheets of blank paper, even if I try to run a test print. It prints fine to my old HP Deskjet. The Epson works fine with my Imac desktop, so it isn't a printer problem.
I have recently installed Parallels 4.0 and Windows XP on the Macbook. In Windows it says the Epson is not available, but the HP is.
I have reset the printers in the Macbook, still does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Hello,
Here is my 2 cents.
Oracle recommends you set the Oc4jCacheSize parameter to reduce the occurrences of MOD_OC4J_0087 and
related errors in your Apache error logs. To change this parameter, follow these steps:
1. Stop the OPMN processes on the middle tier.
2. On the middle-tier computer, open a terminal window and go to $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf.
3. Enter the following command:
cp mod_oc4j.conf mod_oc4j.conf.pre3604573
4. Edit the mod_oc4j.conf file by adding the following line after the </IfModule> line, but before the
Oc4Jmount /j2ee/* line:
Oc4jCacheSize 0
5. Start the OracleOPMN processes on the middle tier.
I would still suggest to analyze the stack trace further for exact issues.

I cannot send out text messages

I cannot send out text messages - I can receive them - cannot send them to a contact.
This contact has a multiple contacts ranging from gmail to facebook. I deleted all the contacts and now the contact can receive my text messages.
I noticed a small x in a circle to the right of the contact's name. A red x in a circle would appear and say my text messages not sent. I would resend - nothing changed.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix the contact so I can text without getting these messages.
The contact is not blocking me by the way - it is my spouse LOL
Thank you

Thanks to draya06 for your response.
Please try deleting all text messages from this person and resend. Do you have a signature on your outgoing text messages? If so please remove the signature and retry. If these don't work please PM me and we will further troubleshoot this issue.
Thank you

Help!! My Droid is sending out random messages!!!

I'm not sure if anyone is having this issue with their Droid... I have 3 email accounts (gmail, yahoo, and comcast). For some reason, the Droid is taking messages received from Comcast and Yahoo and sending it to Gmail contacts. I am unable to remove any of the email accounts from the from phone and I'm worried about personal information being shared to the wrong people!!

I am sorry to hear that your email accounts are sending out random messages. I have below listed some information that may help.
-I would recommend trying a soft reset on the device (removing the battery for a few seconds and placing it back in)
-I would also recommend turning the device off, and testing your actual email accounts outside of the phone. ***If the issue is still occurring, you know it is not the device that is having the problem and may need to address it with your email providers.
-I have listed the instructions below on removing the email accounts from your device (just in case). Click HERE.
***If it is only on the device that you are having the problem with, and you cannot remove the email accounts, I would recommend performing a hard reset on the device. (Please be advised that this will erase all information on your device, including Google account, system and application data, and downloaded applications). It will not erase SD card files and system bundled applications. Click HERE for instructions to perform a hard reset.
Hope this helps!

Mac mail sending messages to people not on distribution

When sending a reply to a mac mail message that originally had several people in the distribution the reply message will send to everyone in the distribution even if you manually take out an address from the message you are sending out.

In have a similar problem. I consistently request that names of all people on send list to NOT be shown to individual addressees, but consistenly are sent all the names. Can this be corrected?
