Mail refuses to accept any mails if i turn spam/junk filter on! Why?

Seems like something is wrong with my spam/junk filter.
Im running a mac os x server 10.6.2. By the look of it the server tries to speak with something on port 10024 but gets no contact which makes it stop any e-mails.
Someone made a suggestion that Amivis might be turned off but when reading the docs i found no additional information on how to turn it off besides using the enable buttons in Server Admin.
Any help is welcome!

May I ask why? Have you learned that that specific problem is solved in a pre-release version? So far I've upgraded once on your advice, now I've upgraded again to 31. Problem's still there. Unless I'm told that the problem's been solved for sure in a latter version, I'm not going to upgrade because sometimes the upgrades bring problems w/them for a low tech user. I don't want to chat, etc., I just want to be able to send and receive e-mails.
I'm still working with the security software people re: some continuing issues w/FF.
I'd like to spend more time doing my work, or communicating w/friends, not dealing w/software problems.
Is there anyway of my finding out what, if any update, includes whatever is needed to solve my specific problem? I use Win7 Pro, SP1, 3.40 Gz processor, 3.19 Gb usable RAM, 64 bit OS. I don't know what other information is needed.

  • Mail refuses to get new mail.

       Mail refuses to get new mail. (Imac 10.9.5, Mail 7.3. ) Connection doc shows wheels to all my accounts spinning (IMap and POP).  Activity  cited Mail was trying to connect to Icloud.  Evidently stuck there.  This is just one problem in a succession of many with the Mail program ever since I upgraded to 10.9.5, but it is the worst so far.  Restarting doesn't seem to fix it.  Any suggestions?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Can we get news grps mail tro mails or can we access these mails tro outlook or any mail clients ??

    Hello
    Can we get news grps mail tro mails or can we access these mails tro outlook or
    any mail clients ??
    Kindly Write Vack,
    Dilip

    OK, getting really close now.  Per your recommendations, I eliminated the middle tier of accounts.  Things now look like this:
    Top Tier:  a single account (e.g.: [email protected]) for sharing only common Contacts and Calendar entries to be available to all family members below.
    Bottom Tier:  one unique account for each IOS device (e.g.: oharahusband@, oharawife@, oharachild1@, ... oharachildn@).  Each family device will add the oharafamily@ and select only Contacts and Calendars for that Top Tier account.
    I have tested this at a basic level by adding, changing and removing contacts and calendar entries at the oharagroup level, and observed these entries appearing and disappearing properly in the iPhone 4 and iPad associated apps.
    Now I have two additional questions:
    Q1 - In the near future, as I buy additional iOS devices, I will want to be able to see my own (but not my wife's) personal information across all my iOS devices (and vice versa).  When I add a new iOS devices, for example, for myself, should I:
    Alternative 1:
    Assign each new device of mine a unique new iCloud account (e.g., oharahusbandipad@, oharahusband iphone, etc.),
    Make that new iCloud account the primary for the device in question,
    Then (I'm guessing here) make sure that in the Acounts settings for each of my iOS devices include all my other iCloud primary acounts/devices, and,
    Finally, add in the oharagroup@ into the new device's Accounts section to include shared entries
    OR
    Alternative 2:
    Assign the same iCloud account number to each new device (for example, all mine beome oharahusband@),
    Make that primary on all my devices, and,
    include the oharagroup@ in each device's Accounts settings for sharing.
    Thanks!

  • Mail won't accept any commands post IOS 5

    Just dopwnloaded IOS5. Now, I can open Mail, it downloads my emails well enough but then it won't accept any interaction.
    Really bizarre... Anyone had similar issues?

    I just called Bell and we switched Bell to my primary SMTP and my home to the secondary and now I can send email from my iPhone again.
    Not sure why this changed with iOS 5.0?

  • Mail refuses to attach any files

    Hi,
    For some unknown reason my Mail.app just started refusing to attach any files. I can click on attach, select a file and select. But when the little window closes there is no attachment in the message. I've done the following:
    1 - Archived excessively old emails (to reduce the amount of emails in mail.
    2 - Rebuilt my Envelope Index
    3 - Uninstalled all my plugins
    4 - Run Onyx -> Maintenance on permissions etc., cleaning and automation. (The whole 9 yards.)
    5 - Restarted -> multiple times.
    Had any one had this problem? Have you been able to fix it? Any suggestions? AAAGH!!!
    Ciao
    Francois.

    Hey BDAqua,
    I read (http ://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1165162&tstart=0) that ones Junk Filter Database can become corrupted and cause all kinds of problems. So I reset mine, and hey, now everything's working. Weird... (My mailboxes all went offline though, so I had to rebuild each folder seperately!?!)
    Anyway, thanks for your help. I do hope though that the functionality remains persistent.

  • Mail refuses to accept server SSL certificate

    Hello,
    yesterday I updated to 10.4.11 and everything works fine except one thing.
    I've got 3 IMAP Accounts set up in Mail, all using SSL. While 2 of them still work one suddenly started to complain that the certificate is invalid.
    It says:
    The server error encountered was: Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "mail2.hitzemann.org". The error was:
    The certficate for the server is invalid.
    You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be "mail2.hitzemann.org", and putting your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?
    If I click on "Show Certificate" Mail proudly tells me that the certificate is valid. Nevertheless I double checked the hostname, the expiration date, etc. I even generated a new class 1 certificate as the current one was a class 3 cert. But I didn't have any luck with this either. I also checked that my CA's root certificates are known to keychain in the X509Anchors.
    If I boot my 10.4.10 backup everything's working like a charm again. So how to tell Mail not to complain about a certificate that's valid?

    I'm having a similar problem. Only I've never had a digital signature. I got a Thawte certificate, followed all their instructions but Apple Mail doesn't recognize it. I've tried every forum solution for the last two days, without any luck.
    Currently the certificate is in the System part of the Keychain. And it's showing up in both the Certificates and My Certificates sections. I've also tried variations of this setup. Nothing seems to get Mail to recognize the thing.

  • Mail refuses to accept new certificate

    Hi there,
    I recently acquired a new digital ID issued by our government to replace my certificate from Thawte. The new certificate appears in Keychain Access under My Certificates an the email address in the certificate is exactly the same as the one used in Mail. Unfortunately Mail prefers to use the old certificate which has now expired, so I cannot sign any more messages.
    I tried to delete the old certificate from Keychain, but the problem remains : now Mail says it cannot find a valid certificate for this address although it clearly appears as valid in Keychain... How can I get Mail to use the new certificate ?
    The old certificate also still appears beside my email address in Address Book, although I deleted this certificate !
    Does anyone have the same or a similar problem and a solution ?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Dan

  • Mail.app not accepting incoming mail in .Mac Account

    This problem has been getting worse over the last two months. Mail.app has been selectively accepting incoming traffic to my .Mac address, even those that I whitelisted through Rules and junkmatcher.
    Incoming Mail from trusted sources, such as family and friends are not appearing. Until recently, subscriptions such as Versiontracker, Sundance, Apple Event, etc would populate targeted mailboxes, but now even they have not being accepted either.
    This is very curious - because, if I access my .Mac accoun via WebDAV or another email client, the missing mail appears. After I manually accept an incoming message via a browser or another client and subsequently use Mail.app to view messages, the missing missives appear. I have not changed anything in either "Rules" or Junkmatcher. What has changed is system upgrades over time from 10.4.2 to 10.4.6. Now mail.app appears broken.
    Any insights or fixes out there?
    I will bring this up with the "Geniuses" at the SF Apple store. But for now, I'll be using another client until Apple fixes this.
    G4 Dual 1.42 ghz MDD FW 800   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Every time I've seen something like this being reported, the problem ended up being a rule that wasn't working as expected, e.g. because a rule had specified any instead of all, or because a rule was routing messages to Inbox, or something like that...

  • I can log on icloud on pc but when i enter password on my ipad mini first gen with ios8 it tells me wrong password. and i can receive mail but cannot send any mail via icloud, gmail, yahoo never had to set this up with ios7. how do i resolve this?

    I updated my ipad mini first gen 32gig (4.3gig free) to run ios8 8.0(12A365) and i have a problem sending emails. i can receive mail but when i send it fails. my dropbox works fine, safari, and other apps work fine on the internet just the receiving of mail. Do i need to add a new outgoing server, though i dont remeber having to do this when i updated to ios7. how do i resolve this?

    Here's a troubleshooting article from Apple:  iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
    It doesn't seem to cover your specific issue, but have you tried using a different network (either a different wi-fi network, or switching from wi-fi to cellular or vice-versa if you have a wi-fi+cellular iPad)?
    For GMail, iCloud and Yahoo, copies of messages are stored on their respective servers, so you could try deleting the account on your iPad, then re-adding each account one at a time to see if that resolves the issue.

  • My iphone 4 is refusing to accept any charger and just keeps giving me an error message when i plug it in.

    So i tried to charge my iphone yesterday and i got an error message saying "Charging is not supported with this accessory", i then went and bought a new charger and tried it but keep getting the same error message.
    I don't know what could have caused this but if anyone has a solution or help in anyway i would appreciate it.

    Yes its been cleaned out, i have tried many different things to try an fix it but still nothing. i just can't understand how it can be working perfect 1 minute then not working the next minute.  seems to be a common problem with no real solution.

  • Mail refuses to send messages--please help

    Hello all,
    I am running system 10.8.2 on a newish iMac.  For the second or third time in recent months, Mail can't send any mail, although it can receive mail.  The message I get when trying to send a message is:
    "The STMP connection to server "mail.optonline.net" failed.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below [note--all optonline.net] or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    I had not changed anything about my accounts when this happened--no password change, no changes to my settings.  I have restarted the computer to no avail.  I know the SMTP settings are right, because I can send mail from my older MacBook Pro on the same home network.  When this has happened before, it has resolved itself in a day or two.  This time it has been four days and counting.  I tried creating a new account, and that doesn't work either. 
    Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance for your help!

    The SMTP settings are pertinent to the individual computer that they are set on, not on the network.  So you could have the SMTP settings correct on your older MacBook Pro, but they coud still have changed and be wrong on your iMac.  I would double check them on your iMac.  In Mail "Preferences click on the drop down arrow at the right end of the line "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):".  Especially note the settings in the window  resulting from clicking on "Edit the SMTP Server List",  box shown below:

    Here is what I did to resolve the problem:
    In Mail/preferences/accounts/account information/ and at the bottom of the box there is a toggle arrow up and down to edit the outgoing mail server, check the box "use only this server" and  hit this toggle button and select "edit SMTP Server List" at the very bottom of the email names.
    Select Advanced tab.  Correct and/or add usernames and passwords as needed for each email account.  Be sure to select OK each time to get the passwords to hold!  Some changes don't seem to hold unless you click OK before you move on.
    To test:       Window/activity (a little windows will pop up showing activity bars)   and then "get mail" button.  This should show any problems
    Another test:  window/connection doctor
    This shouldl fix both pop and imap.  so far it worked on yahoo, mobile me, gmail, hotmail, and others.  Of course, you will need to know the incoming and outgoing mail server info, user name, and passwords.
    Too bad we have to go though hoops to use an email program that used to work well.  Worse yet, many may not know for days that their email isn't working.
    This is easy method of setting up your email accounts but may not allow enough detail to make the mail accounts function properly in Mail 5.0:
    system preferences/internet and wireless/mail, contacts, calendars/ add account

  • "Out of Office Autoreply" emails appear in iPod Mail but not in Mac Mail

    I have a POP mail account hosted by aplus.net for a nonprofit I run. We use Constant Contact for email blasts. When I send an email blast, almost no "Out of Office AutoReply" messages are received on my Mac while the same account on my iPod Touch receives usually a dozen or so. My Mac is running 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6(936). The Touch is running iOS4.0.2. The accounts both download from the POP server and leave messages on the serve for a week. Junk filtering is disabled on the email host. No messages pop up in the desktop Mail in the Junk filter.
    Why would one program download/show emails while another won't? I'm scared something else is randomly not being downloaded.

    Same issue here with Mail.
    Photo attachments (.jpg) in the body of an email will sometimes appear as just an outline of the image with a blue question mark in the middle. If I use QuickLook within the Mail program I can see them, and if I save them to my hard drive I can see their thumbnails and view them with QuickLook. It is only in the body of the email that they are not visible.
    This happens with about 1/4 of the emails I get.
    Same behaviour on both my newish MacBook Pro using Mail 3.6 on Leopard as well as my old iMac G4 running Mail 2.1.3 on Tiger.
    Any ideas?

  • Macbook 2010 will not accept any startup keys.

    Hi guys!
    I've got a tricky one here and I'm hoping someone can help.  I am a technician working at a school working on getting some macs ready for the upcoming school year.  The old technology director retired last year and the tech staff and I had to reset all the 300+ computers' passwords.  Everything has gone well, save a few problems here and there. I have one computer, though, that is causing me a few more issues.  This Macbook (2010) refuses to accept any startup combo keys (ex. option-command-p-r, c, t, option, command-s, option-command-O-F).  Everytime I try to boot, it always goes streight through a normal boot and to the desktop, regardless of what keys I'm holding down.  Upon reaching the OS, though, the keyboard works fine, no problems with typing or anything.  I connected a usb keyboard and attempted to use the same combo keys, no change.  I reset the SMC, with no result.  I even tried removing a RAM card in hopes of resetting any problems there might be with the firmware, still no change!  There has never been a firmware password set on this computer.  It's running OSX 10.6.8.
    I'm running out of ideas here, any help would be greatly appeciated.  I have the computer right here next to me ready to try stuff on it, and an entire tech department at my disposal, lets try to get this sucker fixed!
    Regards!

    Thanks for the reply,
    The computer was previously issued to a seventh grade girl, so it is unlikely that she tried to set a firmware password, even accidentally.  Even if that was the case though... wouldn't removing a RAM card reset the firmware and fix any FW password related problems, or is a PRAM zap required for that to happen?
    I had looked at that forum post before, that's where I got the idea of resetting the firmware.
    Any other ideas????
    If absolutely necessary I can back up the drive and wipe it, but I'd rather it not come to that.
    Regards!
