Mail not hiding as it should on Login
I have Mail in my Login Items menu, and i have the 'hide' checkbox checked. But when i log in, it still shows the mail window, it's just not highlighted. I want it to open but be hidden. any suggestions? (i only have one account. so it's not that i am in a diff. acct.)
Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "Mail"
run
end tell
delay 2
tell application "System Events"
set visible of process "Mail" to false
end tell
Save the script as an application and add it to the list of login items; turn off the option to display the startup screen when the script runs. The original Mail application can then be removed from the list.

Hi all,
This is a minor annoyance but would like some feedback.
I have my mac mail client set in preferences-->accounts-->login items to open and 'hide' on startup. I have the 'hide' box checked, see jpeg, but mail is not 'hiding'.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
DennisV.K.,
Nicely done! I should probably get in the habit of 'searching' the forum(s) for a topic before posting a question.
Best,
Dennis -
I have clicked on a link received in my e/mai which has put a download into my download stack which appears to be a Facebook login page to someone who is not me but has my e/mail as the primary account,should I be concerned?
I would do the following just to be safe.
Change your email password so anyone trying to use your email address won't be able to or delete that email address from where ever you got it after getting a new one.
I would trash the download. -
When I go to Yahoo mail it tells me I should upgrade to the latest version of Safari. When I go to apple to do the upgrade it says I am using the latest version.
What am I missing here?You can avoid using web based email for Yahoo.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information
Then click + to add your Yahoo account. -

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

ICloud mail not syncing with Droid RAZR
On July 24th, 2012 iCloud mail stopped syncronizing with my Droid RAZR. My wife and I have identical phones, and have currently active and functional iCloud accounts on Mac. Both of our phones had functional email syncronization before AND AFTER ICS updates. No new dowloands or settings changes have occured. I have ensured that we are using the correct manual settings [email protected], PW, imap settings mail.mac.com, port 993, SSL
I have tried using imap.mail.me.com and that does not work either. I tried the p07- prefix, and that too does not work. The only error it providfes is that it cannot connect to the server, and no other information is provided.
I was on with verizon support, apple support, and motorola support and no one knows what has happened or has any solution.
Have others encountered this problem recently? I have seen postings from last year on this, but nothing recently.
If others have solutions, please post.
ThanksI had the same problem. Took me a long time to figure out but just got it working with Motorola level 2 support. For some reason the settings changed and they are different settings that what I got to work using the K-9 app. Basically, you need to change the incoming and outgoing server settings from what they were! incoming server is imap.mail.me.com. Use port 993, ssl/tls (accept all certificates) and authentication method should be LOGIN. Outgoing settings should be smtp.mac.com with port 587, require sign-in, authentication method is PLAIN

IKEpacket from x.x.x.x was not encrypted and it should have been
New to the group and I do have a situation that I hope someone can help me with. I am trying to set up a lab for one of my courses and I am using XP with Cisco VPN Client 5.0.0.3, a Cisco 2621XM router and Cisco Secure ACS version 4.2 configured for RADIUS.
My problem is this, when I open the VPN client and click connect I get the following message back.
*Mar 1 01:21:49.935: %CRYPTO-6-IKMP_NOT_ENCRYPTED: IKE packet from 11.11.11.14 was not encrypted and it should've been. The packet is not getting past the router so I cannot even see if the ACS is working.
I have searched high and low and have not been able to find an answer to the problem. Can someone here give me a hand?I used the configuration from an example from the Cisco website. I will post it here. I also followed the setup outlined in the example for the ACS but it doesn't seem to get that far. Thanks for the help.

Turn off autocapitalize in Mail notes
When I type in a mail notes the first letter of new words are automatically capitalized. What did I turn on by mistake? Turing correct spelling and use symbols doesn't seem to help. Not a problem in new notes?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) -
TS3103 Using Pop Mail; not receiving or sending emails
For some reason my PoP mail is not working even though everything says connected. I have had several friends send me "test" emails and nothing is coming through for the past couple of days. Furthermore they are not receiving my emails even though the mail shows "sent."
It's possible you need to login and change your passwords. The recent Heartbleed bug has required many users to change their passwords. Regardless it's a good idea to change your passswords at least once a year for security.
Open the Connection Doctor under Window when Mail is active.
You should see green lights to show accounts are connected.
You will see two entires for most accounts. One for sending (SMTP) and the other for receiving. iCloud accounts only show up as one entry.
If you see a red light you can select to Show Details button to find why you are having problems connecting.
Receiving is set in the main window for the account. Change your password then click out of the account to save.
Sending password is set in Edit SMTP. Select the account from the list. Under Advanced, add the password.
Note, sometimes you will find extra SMTP settings listed. Deleting an account does delete the SMTP settings. You can delete these. -
Mail not receiving or sending emails and needs to be restarted
Many times a day my Mail program will stop sending and receiving mail. An exclamation mark appears by the inbox. Clicking the ! does nothing. The only solution I have found is to restart Mail and then Mail works correctly for a while. My service provider says all my settings are correct.

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10". -
Issue with spamassassin, now mail not working
Hi ! I installed spamtrainer almost two months ago. Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now , 700 emails each day at least .
There was very little improvement if none at all. Tried to add "@local_domains_maps = (1)" to amavisd.conf last night thinking it might be the problem , though no virtual domain exist. This was one of the issue on the default Amavisd config. The other one is adding the symbolic link which I already done.
Computer froze while adding the parameter "@local_domains_maps = (1)", so I manually turn off the Power Mac, then mail stopped altogether. The mails are filing up but the clients couldn't send or receive since this incidence .
FF is the maincf. and amavis.conf
All help are greatly appreciated.

#GENERAL NOTES:
# This file is a normal Perl code, interpreted by Perl itself.
# - make sure this file (or directory where it resides) is NOT WRITABLE
# by mere mortals, otherwise it represents a severe security risk!
# - for values which are interpreted as booleans, it is recommended
# to use 1 for true, and 0 or undef or '' for false.
# THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM OLDER AMAVIS VERSIONS where "no" also meant false,
# now it means true, like any nonempty string does!
# - Perl syntax applies. Most notably: strings in "" may include variables
# (which start with $ or @); to include characters @ and $ in double
# quoted strings, precede them by a backslash; in single-quoted strings
# the $ and @ lose their special meaning, so it is usually easier to use
# single quoted strings. Still, in both cases a backslash need to be doubled
# - variables with names starting with a '@' are lists, the values assigned
# to them should be lists as well, e.g. ('one@foo', $mydomain, "three");
# note the comma-separation and parenthesis. If strings in the list
# do not contain spaces nor variables, a Perl operator qw() may be used
# as a shorthand to split its argument on whitespace and produce a list
# of strings, e.g. qw( one@foo example.com three ); Note that the argument
# to qw is quoted implicitly and no variable interpretation is done within
# (no '$' variable evaluations). The #-initiated comments can not be used
# within the string. In other words, $ and # lose their special meaning
# withing a qw argument, just like within '...' strings.
# - all e-mail addresses in this file and as used internally by the daemon
# are in their raw (rfc2821-unquoted and nonbracketed) form, i.e.
# Bob "Funny" [email protected], not: "Bob \"Funny\" Dude"@example.com
# and not <"@example.com>; also: '' and not ''.
# Section I - Essential daemon and MTA settings

# Lookup list of local domains (see README.lookups for syntax details)
# NOTE:
# For backwards compatibility the variable names @local_domains (old) and
# @local_domains_acl (new) are synonyms. For consistency with other lookups
# the name @local_domains_acl is now preferred. It also makes it more
# obviously distinct from the new %local_domains hash lookup table.
# local_domains* lookup tables are used in deciding whether a recipient
# is local or not, or in other words, if the message is outgoing or not.
# This affects inserting spam-related headers for local recipients,
# limiting recipient virus notifications (if enabled) to local recipients,
# in deciding if address extension may be appended, and in SQL lookups
# for non-fqdn addresses. Set it up correctly if you need features
# that rely on this setting (or just leave empty otherwise).
# With Postfix (2.0) a quick reminder on what local domains normally are:
# a union of domains spacified in: $mydestination, $virtual_alias_domains,
# $virtual_mailbox_domains, and $relay_domains.

# or alternatively(A), using a Perl hash lookup table, which may be assigned
# directly, or read from a file, one domain per line; comments and empty lines
# are ignored, a dot before a domain name implies its subdomains:

#$bdy_encoding = 'iso-8859-1'; # (default: 'iso-8859-1')
# Default template texts for notifications may be overruled by directly
# assigning new text to template variables, or by reading template text
# from files. A second argument may be specified in a call to read_text(),
# specifying character encoding layer to be used when reading from the
# external file, e.g. 'utf8', 'iso-8859-1', or often just $bdy_encoding.
# Text will be converted to internal character representation by Perl 5.8.0
# or later; second argument is ignored otherwise. See PerlIO::encoding,
# Encode::PerlIO and perluniintro man pages.

# read_l10n_templates('/etc/amavis/en_US');
# Here is an overall picture (sequence of events) of how pieces fit together
# (only virus controls are shown, spam controls work the same way):
# bypass_virus_checks set for all recipients? ==> PASS
# no viruses? ==> PASS
# log virus if $log_templ is nonempty
# quarantine if $virus_quarantine_to is nonempty
# notify admin if $virus_admin (lookup) nonempty
# notify recips if $warnvirusrecip and (recipient is local or $warn_offsite)
# add address extensions for local recipients (when enabled)
# send (non-)delivery notifications
# to sender if DSN needed (BOUNCE) or ($warnvirussender and D_PASS)
# virus_lovers or final_destiny==D_PASS ==> PASS
# DISCARD (2xx) or REJECT (5xx) (depending on final_*_destiny)
# Equivalent flow diagram applies for spam checks.
# If a virus is detected, spam checking is skipped entirely.
# The following symbolic constants can be used in *destiny settings:
# D_PASS mail will pass to recipients, regardless of bad contents;
# D_DISCARD mail will not be delivered to its recipients, sender will NOT be
# notified. Effectively we lose mail (but will be quarantined
# unless disabled). Not a decent thing to do for a mailer.
# D_BOUNCE mail will not be delivered to its recipients, a non-delivery
# notification (bounce) will be sent to the sender by amavisd-new;
# Exception: bounce (DSN) will not be sent if a virus name matches
# $viruses_that_fake_sender_re, or to messages from mailing lists
# (Precedence: bulk|list|junk);
# D_REJECT mail will not be delivered to its recipients, sender should
# preferably get a reject, e.g. SMTP permanent reject response
# (e.g. with milter), or non-delivery notification from MTA
# (e.g. Postfix). If this is not possible (e.g. different recipients
# have different tolerances to bad mail contents and not using LMTP)
# amavisd-new sends a bounce by itself (same as D_BOUNCE).
# Notes:
# D_REJECT and D_BOUNCE are similar, the difference is in who is responsible
# for informing the sender about non-delivery, and how informative
# the notification can be (amavisd-new knows more than MTA);
# With D_REJECT, MTA may reject original SMTP, or send DSN (delivery status
# notification, colloquially called 'bounce') - depending on MTA;
# Best suited for sendmail milter, especially for spam.
# With D_BOUNCE, amavisd-new (not MTA) sends DSN (can better explain the
# reason for mail non-delivery, but unable to reject the original
# SMTP session). Best suited to reporting viruses, and for Postfix
# and other dual-MTA setups, which can't reject original client SMTP
# session, as the mail has already been enqueued.
$final_virus_destiny = D_BOUNCE; # (defaults to D_BOUNCE)
$final_banned_destiny = D_BOUNCE; # (defaults to D_BOUNCE)
$final_spam_destiny = D_PASS; # (defaults to D_REJECT)
$final_bad_header_destiny = D_PASS; # (defaults to D_PASS), D_BOUNCE suggested
# Alternatives to consider for spam:
# - use D_PASS if clients will do filtering based on inserted mail headers;
# - use D_DISCARD, if kill_level is set safely high;
# - use D_BOUNCE instead of D_REJECT if not using milter;
# There are no sensible alternatives to D_BOUNCE for viruses, but consider:
# - use D_PASS (or virus_lovers) and $warnvirussender=1 to deliver viruses;
# - use D_REJECT instead of D_BOUNCE if using milter and under heavy
# virus storm;
# Don't bother to set both D_DISCARD and $warn*sender=1, it will get mapped
# to D_BOUNCE.
# The separation of *_destiny values into D_BOUNCE, D_REJECT, D_DISCARD
# and D_PASS made settings $warnvirussender and $warnspamsender only still
# useful with D_PASS.
# The following $warn*sender settings are ONLY used when mail is
# actually passed to recipients ($final_*_destiny=D_PASS, or *_lovers*).

# $virus_quarantine_to/$spam_quarantine_to. It may be a simple scalar string,
# or a ref to a hash lookup table, or a regexp lookup table object,
# which makes possible to set up per-recipient quarantine addresses.
# The value of scalar $virus_quarantine_to/$spam_quarantine_to (or a
# per-recipient lookup result from the hash table %$virus_quarantine_to)
# is/are interpreted as follows:
# VARIANT 1:
# empty or undef disables quarantine;
# VARIANT 2:
# a string NOT containg an '@';
# amavisd will behave as a local delivery agent (LDA) and will quarantine
# viruses to local files according to hash %local_delivery_aliases (pseudo
# aliases map) - see subroutine mail_to_local_mailbox() for details.
# Some of the predefined aliases are 'virus-quarantine' and 'spam-quarantine'.
# Setting $virus_quarantine_to ($spam_quarantine_to) to this string will:
# * if $QUARANTINEDIR is a directory, each quarantined virus will go
# to a separate file in the $QUARANTINEDIR directory (traditional
# amavis style, similar to maildir mailbox format);
# * otherwise $QUARANTINEDIR is treated as a file name of a Unix-style
# mailbox. All quarantined messages will be appended to this file.
# Amavisd child process must obtain an exclusive lock on the file during
# delivery, so this may be less efficient than using individual files
# or forwarding to MTA, and it may not work across NFS or other non-local
# file systems (but may be handy for pickup of quarantined files via IMAP
# for example);
# VARIANT 3:
# any email address (must contain '@').
# The e-mail messages to be quarantined will be handed to MTA
# for delivery to the specified address. If a recipient address local to MTA
# is desired, you may leave the domain part empty, e.g. 'infected@', but the
# '@' character must nevertheless be included to distinguish it from variant 2.
# This method enables more refined delivery control made available by MTA
# (e.g. its aliases file, other local delivery agents, dealing with
# privileges and file locking when delivering to user's mailbox, nonlocal
# delivery and forwarding, fan-out lists). Make sure the mail-to-be-quarantined
# will not be handed back to amavisd for checking, as this will cause a loop
# (hopefully broken at some stage)! If this can be assured, notifications
# will benefit too from not being unecessarily virus-scanned.

# setup, but probably not safe with sendmail milter interface without

# %virus_lovers, @virus_lovers_acl and $virus_lovers_re lookup tables:
# (these should be considered policy options, they do not disable checks,
# see bypas*checks for that!)
# Exclude certain RECIPIENTS from virus filtering by adding their lower-cased
# envelope e-mail address (or domain only) to the hash %virus_lovers, or to
# the access list @virus_lovers_acl - see README.lookups and examples.
# Make sure the appropriate form (e.g. external/internal) of address
# is used in case of virtual domains, or when mapping external to internal
# addresses, etc. - this is MTA-specific.
# Notifications would still be generated however (see the overall
# picture above), and infected mail (if passed) gets additional header:
# X-AMaViS-Alert: INFECTED, message contains virus: ...
# (header not inserted with milter interface!)
# NOTE (milter interface only): in case of multiple recipients,
# it is only possible to drop or accept the message in its entirety - for all
# recipients. If all of them are virus lovers, we'll accept mail, but if
# at least one recipient is not a virus lover, we'll discard the message.
# %bypass_virus_checks, @bypass_virus_checks_acl and $bypass_virus_checks_re
# lookup tables:
# (this is mainly a time-saving option, unlike virus_lovers* !)
# Similar in concept to %virus_lovers, a hash %bypass_virus_checks,
# access list @bypass_virus_checks_acl and regexp list $bypass_virus_checks_re
# are used to skip entirely the decoding, unpacking and virus checking,
# but only if ALL recipients match the lookup.
# %bypass_virus_checks/@bypass_virus_checks_acl/$bypass_virus_checks_re
# do NOT GUARANTEE the message will NOT be checked for viruses - this may
# still happen when there is more than one recipient for a message, and
# not all of them match these lookup tables. To guarantee virus delivery,
# a recipient must also match %virus_lovers/@virus_lovers_acl lookups
# (but see milter limitations above),
# NOTE: it would not be clever to base virus checks on SENDER address,
# since there are no guarantees that it is genuine. Many viruses
# and spam messages fake sender address. To achieve selective filtering
# based on the source of the mail (e.g. IP address, MTA port number, ...),
# use mechanisms provided by MTA if available.
# Similar to lookup tables controlling virus checking, there exist
# spam scanning, banned names/types, and headers_checks control counterparts:
# %spam_lovers, @spam_lovers_acl, $spam_lovers_re
# %banned_files_lovers, @banned_files_lovers_acl, $banned_files_lovers_re
# %bad_header_lovers, @bad_header_lovers_acl, $bad_header_lovers_re
# and:
# %bypass_spam_checks/@bypass_spam_checks_acl/$bypass_spam_checks_re
# %bypass_banned_checks/@bypass_banned_checks_acl/$bypass_banned_checks_re
# %bypass_header_checks/@bypass_header_checks_acl/$bypass_header_checks_re
# See README.lookups for details about the syntax.
# The following example disables spam checking altogether,
# since it matches any recipient e-mail address (any address
# is a subdomain of the top-level root DNS domain):
# @bypass_spam_checks_acl = qw( . );
# @bypass_header_checks_acl = qw( [email protected] );
# @bad_header_lovers_acl = qw( [email protected] );
# See README.lookups for further detail, and examples below.
# $virus_lovers{lc("postmaster\@$mydomain")} = 1;
# $virus_lovers{lc('[email protected]')} = 1;
# $virus_lovers{lc('[email protected]')} = 1;
# $virus_lovers{lc('some.user@')} = 1; # this recipient, regardless of domain
# $virus_lovers{lc('[email protected]')} = 0; # never, even if domain matches
# $virus_lovers{lc('example.com')} = 1; # this domain, but not its subdomains
# $virus_lovers{lc('.example.com')}= 1; # this domain, including its subdomains

# @virus_lovers_acl = qw( [email protected] !lab.xxx.com .xxx.com yyy.org );
# $bypass_virus_checks{lc('[email protected]')} = 1;

# $spam_lovers{lc('[email protected]')} = 1;

# $spam_lovers_re = new_RE( qr'^user@example\.com$'i );
# don't run spam check for these RECIPIENT domains:
# @bypass_spam_checks_acl = qw( d1.com .d2.com a.d3.com );
# or the other way around (bypass check for all BUT these):
# @bypass_spam_checks_acl = qw( !d1.com !.d2.com !a.d3.com . );

# @bypass_spam_checks_acl = ( "!.$mydomain", "." );
# (a downside of which is that such mail will not count as ham in SA bayes db)
# Where to find SQL server(s) and database to support SQL lookups?

# The %k will be replaced by a comma-separated list of query addresses

# If field names are not unique (e.g. 'id'), the later field overwrites the

# $sql_select_policy = 'SELECT *,users.id FROM users,policy'.
# ' WHERE (users.policy_id=policy.id) AND (users.email IN (%k))'.

# If you decide to pass viruses (or spam) to certain recipients using the

# as an address extension to the local-part of the address. This extension
# can be used by final local delivery agent to place such mail in different
# folders. Leave these two variables undefined or empty strings to prevent
# appending address extensions. Setting has no effect on recipient which will
# not be receiving viruses/spam. Recipients who do not match lookup tables
# local_domains* are not affected.
# LDAs usually default to stripping away address extension if no special
# handling is specified, so having this option enabled normally does no harm,
# provided the $recipients_delimiter matches the setting on the final

# (which can optionally be added, see variables $addr_extension_virus and

# Delimiter should match equivalent (final) MTA delimiter setting.
# (e.g. for Postfix add 'recipient_delimiter = +' to main.cf)

# ENVELOPE SENDER WHITELISTING / BLACKLISTING - GLOBAL (RECIPIENT-INDEPENDENT)
# WHITELISTING: use ENVELOPE SENDER lookups to ENSURE DELIVERY from whitelisted
# senders even if the message is recognized as spam. Effectively, for the
# specified senders, message RECIPIENTS temporarily become 'spam_lovers', with
# further processing being the same as otherwise specified for spam lovers.
# It does not turn off inserting spam-related headers, if they are enabled.
# BLACKLISTING: messages from specified SENDERS are DECLARED SPAM.
# Effectively, for messages from blacklisted senders, spam level
# is artificially pushed high, and the normal spam processing applies,
# resulting in 'X-Spam-Flag: YES', high 'X-Spam-Level' bar and other usual
# reactions to spam, including possible rejection. If the message nevertheless
# still passes (e.g. for spam loving recipients), it is tagged as BLACKLISTED
# in the 'X-Spam-Status' header field, but the reported spam value and
# set of tests in this report header field (if available from SpamAssassin,
# which may have not been called) is not adjusted.
# A sender may be both white- and blacklisted at the same time,
# settings are independent. For example, being both white- and blacklisted,
# message is delivered to recipients, but is tagged as spam.
# If ALL recipients of the message either white- or blacklist the sender,
# spam scanning (calling the SpamAssassin) is bypassed, saving on time.
# The following variables (lookup tables) are available, with the semantics
# and syntax as specified in README.lookups:
# %whitelist_sender, @whitelist_sender_acl, $whitelist_sender_re
# %blacklist_sender, @blacklist_sender_acl, $blacklist_sender_re
# SOME EXAMPLES:
#ACL:
# @whitelist_sender_acl = qw( .example.com );
# @whitelist_sender_acl = ( ".$mydomain" ); # $mydomain and its subdomains
# NOTE: This is not a reliable way of turning off spam checks for
# locally-originating mail, as sender address can easily be faked.
# To reliably avoid spam-scanning outgoing mail,
# use @bypass_spam_checks_acl .
#RE:
# $whitelist_sender_re = new_RE(

# @av_scanners is a list of n-tuples, where fields semantics is:
# 1. av scanner plain name, to be used in log and reports;
# 2. scanner program name; this string will be submitted to subroutine
# find_external_programs(), which will try to find the full program
# path name; if program is not found, this scanner is disabled.
# Besides a simple string (full program path name or just the basename
# to be looked for in PATH), this may be an array ref of alternative
# program names or full paths - the first match in the list will be used;
# As a special case for more complex scanners, this field may be
# a subroutine reference, and the whole n-tuple is passed to it as args.
# 3. command arguments to be given to the scanner program;
# a substring {} will be replaced by the directory name to be scanned,
# i.e. "$tempdir/parts"
# 4. an array ref of av scanner exit status values, or a regexp (to be
# matched against scanner output), indicating NO VIRUSES found;
# 5. an array ref of av scanner exit status values, or a regexp (to be
# matched against scanner output), indicating VIRUSES WERE FOUND;
# Note: the virus match prevails over a 'not found' match, so it is safe
# even if 4. matches for viruses too;
# 6. a regexp (to be matched against scanner output), returning a list
# of virus names found.
# 7. and 8.: (optional) subroutines to be executed before and after scanner
# (e.g. to set environment or current directory);
# see examples for these at KasperskyLab AVP and Sophos sweep.
# NOTES:
# - NOT DEFINING @av_scanners (e.g. setting it to empty list, or deleting the
# whole assignment) TURNS OFF LOADING AND COMPILING OF THE ANTIVIRUS CODE
# (which can be handy if all you want to do is spam scanning);
# - the order matters: although _all_ available entries from the list are
# always tried regardless of their verdict, scanners are run in the order
# specified: the report from the first one detecting a virus will be used
# (providing virus names and scanner output); REARRANGE THE ORDER TO WILL;
# - it doesn't hurt to keep an unused command line scanner entry in the list
# if the program can not be found; the path search is only performed once
# during the program startup;
# CORROLARY: to disable a scanner that _does_ exist on your system,
# comment out its entry or use undef or '' as its program name/path
# (second parameter). An example where this is almost a must: disable
# Sophos 'sweep' if you have its daemonized version Sophie or SAVI-Perl
# (same for Trophie/vscan, and clamd/clamscan), or if another unrelated
# program happens to have a name matching one of the entries ('sweep'
# again comes to mind);
# - it DOES HURT to keep unwanted entries which use INTERNAL SUBROUTINES
# for interfacing (where the second parameter starts with \&).
# Keeping such entry and not having a corresponding virus scanner daemon
# causes an unnecessary connection attempt (which eventually times out,
# but it wastes precious time). For this reason the daemonized entries
# are commented in the distribution - just remove the '#' where needed.

# Check your RAV license terms before fiddling with the following two lines!

(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck! -
Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding. However when I close Nunit, the page is back to be normal. The title is returned to the name of website without "not responding". I sure this problem did not happen on Firefox version 26. I just got this problem when firefox upgrading automatically to version 27. Please help me fix this problem because it is very important for my work. If you need more information pls send your concerns via my email address.
Thanks so muchHi, the work around suggested above should put you in working mode in the meantime. However to help investigate the issue it is possible to analyze what is not loading or taking a long time by analyzing the network traffic or http headers of the Nunit web page.

When I open my Mail program over the last few days it does nothing - does not even show the Mail Message Window. I have to Force Quit (message says Mail Not Responding). This happens over and over again. I used Disk Utility to check preferences and repaired all (not much there and nothing relating to Mail). Still won't work. In general Apple Mail has not been working well for awhile that along with MobileMe... delivering multiple emails of the same message and loosing Sent messages. What is happening to this program? Do I have to use Microsoft Office to find a dependable eMail Client software? As it stands I have started using Office on our other computers just so we can receive our email and not worry about loosing or storing Sent and Received Mail.
I am running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 on my workstation. I have Snow Leopard ready to install but was waiting to complete time critical work before installing new system software - perhaps that will be the answer to the problem(?). Anyone having this problem and if so - have you found a solution?
Note: I do receive mail on my iPhone and on iPad thankfully using Apple's Mail program but those are mobile devices - we require dependable email to run our business on our desktops.Mail in Leopard should not have such problems. Disk Utility repairs permissions, not preferences. I'm assuming your only e-mail account is with Mobileme?
