Mail - Mysterious delivery failure notice

Hello,
I got a mail deliverty failure notice today for an email I didn't send.
It came from [email protected], but unusually went into my junk straight away and was sent to my alias not to my main .me address.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does this mean someone else is using my alias? Or is it just spam?
Thanks in advance.

Postmaster@ mac.com or [email protected]?

Delivery failure notice in mail .

I had a google mail account , now everytime i send an email i get a delivery failure notice because mail is sending mail to the google account which i deleted , how do i get rid of this ? Thanks .

I want to make sure..... is the problem with you receiving email, or sending it, or both? Also, have you tried these steps?

Why do senders receive a delivery failure notice although messages are being received?

What you have there is either a jailbroken unit with some crazy custom UI or an eastern knockoff. Give us some photos of the ipad itself, mainly the back and some experts can help.
If you plug it into iTunes does iTunes even acknowledge that an ipad is connected? If it does then try a restore.
Failing that, head down to an apple store and see what they can do for you.

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!

Delivery Failure Notice

When I send an email with an attachment I just all of a sudden started receiving a Delivery Failure Notice. Have sent emails just like these numerous times with no problem. I can send them an email that only has text but every time I try to send 1 with
an attachment I get this message saying Delivery Failure Notice.

Roxie,
an email that you send goes from your computer, to your email service, to your recipient's email service, to your recipient. The message could be rejected either by your email server or by the recipient's email server.
It is quite possible that "all of the sudden" this happened because you're now emailing a person who has a particluar email service which doesn't allow larger attachments.
I highly recommend using a cloud storage service like skydrive or dropbox. Instead of emailing the attachment, you can post the file you want to send them to your cloud storage service and then send them a link so they can download it themselves. Check
out www.skydrive.com for more info.
Thanks,
MIke

No Delivery Failure notices using Exchange

When a delivery fails, I do not receive a failure notice in Mail.app. I do, however receive a notice when I check the same account using Entourage. Using Mail 2.1.1 on OS 10.4.8, accessing Exchange 2007 server.

I have the same problem as well. (Grrrr.)
A workaround appears to be to configure the account as an ordinary IMAP account instead of an Exchange account. This works on our Exchange server, at least. The undeliverable notifications actually show up then.
I don't know what the downside of doing this is.
(This isn't a new problem; see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3360554&#3360554 for instance.)

TS2755 Getting delivery failure notices for messages I never sent

How do I stop getting dozens and dozens of delivery failure notces in my email for emails I never sent? Is this spam? Or have I been hacked?

Well what is it? Google? Yahoo?
Go to safari and launch whatever website you do to check it on a computer. Then somewhere in the settings im sure you can find password. Change it on your account(webpage), then update the new password in settings/mail on the ipad.

Delivery failures when sending to mail contacts in O365

We are in the middle of a migration from Domino to Exchange (O365) and have updated the GAL with entries from our local active directory. These entries include email addresses using only a few of the domains that are hosted by our Domino
environment - but not all.
People who have been migrated to Exchange receive delivery failures when replying to an email from someone who is still in Domino.
Example:
User Bob who has been migrated to O365 gets an email from User Ann who is still in Domino. When User Bob does a reply, User Ann's address populates with
User_Ann AT MAINDOMINODOMAIN dot com (Please note - the @ signe was substitued with AT and the .com was substitued with dot com) because I got an error when trying to submit this. Error - Body text cannot contain images or links until we are bable
to verify your account.)
User Ann is defined in the O365 GAL as a mail contact with these email addresses:
User_Ann AT dominodomain1 dot com
User_Ann AT dominodomain2 dot com
User_Ann AT dominodomain3 dot com
User Bob gets a delivery failure.
Why?

Hi,
In order to resolve the problem more efficiently, I recommend you ask your question in the Exchange Online (Office 365) Forum. You might get a better answer in the Office 365 forum.

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.

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.

Move mail to folder called Undeliverable
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'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.

Delivery failure report for mail

Hi,
I have two queries on mails
While sending mail to single/multiple users,
1. Is it possible to get the delivery failure report for the unsent mails and the user to whom it was not posted?
2.Can the sent mail be posted to the sender's sent mailbox.
Thanks
Neha

Hi Neha,
1) If you set up an account for xMII on your mail server, then you should be able to use the "Read Mail" action to monitor that account's inbox for any delivery failure reports. You should then be able to parse the format of the message (which depends on your mail server) and retrieve the email address.
2) I don't think this can be done because it's something that your email client (e.g. Outlook) normally takes care of and is not supported in the SMTP protocol to my knowledge.
Hope this helps
Sascha

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.

Senders receiving delivery failure notifications

ive been waiting nearly a month to resolve this and it has been over a week since i was forwarded to a "product specialist"
my mail is arriving fine but my senders are receiving notification of delivery failure and the odd thing is the notice has an address similar to mine but slightly different:instead of [email protected] it reads
[email protected]
is this happening to anyone else? and can anyone advise me of how to get the immediate attention of .mac support? its gotten so bad i am now receiving snail mail advising me that i have an invalid email address and until i send a valid address i will be cut off from important stuff!!!

Oh, and far as the headers?
they all look pretty normal. Nothing about macv.com in any of those, EXCEPT the ones that come from the mystery domain bounces.
this headers include these lines:

Failure Notices for Messages I never Sent

Months ago I sought help here for mysterious outgoing messages I worried were the result of some kind of malware. Most of those who responded did so with ridicule, asserting what we all believe, that Macs have very little vulnerability to such things. I know this, but now I'm getting "failure return notices" every day. Could someone take a look at a long header from one of these and tell me whether this is just some new form of spam or whether I should do something to clean my system. I've tried all the ClamV and McAfee applications but neither found anything. ClamV was unable to connect for an update, though. Anyway, here is the header.

The body says that it failed because it did not pass through the recipient server's spam filter. Again, I'm getting these every day and they are all about ViAGGRa and CIALLis and the usual annoying spam stuff. Is this coming from my system? Somehow I have more faith in people here than in the young people I get when I've call YAHOO.
Here is the complete body of one of the messages, very typical:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its
recipients after more than 24 hours on the queue on mail.init.lt.
The message identifier is: 1OEIZM-0000w9-3S
The subject of the message is: have a time for bbBuyying viaiqra suoper acctive
The date of the message is: Tue, 18 May 2010 13:50:31 +0400
The address to which the message has not yet been delivered is:
[email protected]
No action is required on your part. Delivery attempts will continue for
some time, and this warning may be repeated at intervals if the message
remains undelivered. Eventually the mail delivery software will give up,
and when that happens, the message will be returned to you.
