Malicious user (troll) is sending out my Skype nam...

Hello, people! I am loving Skype, but I have an issue.
Recently, a user with malicious intent entered one of the group conversations I'm in on Skype. This user then proceeded to copy all the usernames of this group's members.
This user has programmed a bot that sends out those Skype usernames on a site called "Omegle". This has resulted in loads of unwanted contact requests for all people involved, and it is rather frustrating.
I can provide the username of this user if required, but have decided against posting it in this thread because of privacy concerns.
I was wondering if any steps could be taken to eliminate this issue. Unfortunately, I am aware that this problem may be out of Skype's reach. I have also sent an email to Omegle in an attempt to solve this problem.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope to hear back! I am receiving dozens of contact requests per day, from people who do not know what is going on.
Sincerely,
Mick

I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. My aol account sends out my full name instead of using the email address. How can I correct this?

I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. When I send mail from my aol account it sends my full name and not the email address acount. How can I change so my name does not appear and my user name appears?

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

How to find out a skype ID from a text?

Met someone today and gave them my number, but they are from another country so i guess they used skype to text me which i can't reply to because skype is retarded... anyways, is there any way to find out the skype name of the person who sent it? The text just came from a random 5 digit number. I also got a phone call that i missed just a minute before this from a stange number with way too many digits so i assume its from skype as well so i have a number from that too but i can't call it back.

How sweet of you to welcome me.
However...I've been screaming at my computer for the last day because of one simple problem that it seems imposible to sort.
Do you know that your customer support is an endless labyrinth? Is it deliberate????
I don't have my Skype ID. I would like to find out my Skype ID. It would be useful to have it. I'm sure you understand.
So far I've reset my password wht seems like a million times which now means that I have to write down a random password which means that my account is now no longer secure. Also it was entierly unclear that resetting my Skype password would reset my Hotmail one too - Not helpful to say the least.
So I go through the rigmarole of contacting your customer 'services' and I have to reset my password - as I've said, this is unhelpful but I do it. Many times. And then.... I need my Skype ID to go any further. You can see the problem here. My issue is I don't have a Skype ID and I need to use my Skype ID to then get help finding out what my Skype ID is....
Please tell me what my Skype ID is. I have an interview for a job that I need to do over Skype - I've been out of work for the last 8 months and it would be really nice to get a job and for it I need my Skype ID.
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Monica

Skype Name Problem

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my skype name, because I created my account around 2005, I lost my password and I cannot restart it because Skype says:
It looks like the account associated with the Skype Name migcenel doesn’t have any billing details. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to verify your identity.
If you can access your email address don’t forget you can reset your password by clicking here or find out your Skype Name by going to this page and clicking "Forgotten your Skype Name".
The problem is that my email associated with that account is closed and I really need to get back my skype name because is my unique name in all my accounts.
Can you help me with this?

Hi, migarcangel,
I just found your post in the Skype Manager message board today (6/11/2012).
Unfortunately, you may not be able to recover your account if you cannot prove the ownership of it to Skype Customer Service. While I appreciate the inconvenience, this is for our safety and security. Here is the link to an FAQ article with more information:

My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse. It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book. At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse. It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book. I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month. It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone. Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word. The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer. It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have. The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up. If it pulls up at all. I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean. I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks. I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either. I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me. I do remember when I believe my computer became infected: I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected. I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late. I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all. I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer. It refuses to uninstall. The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,
Beth

E-sourcing couldn't send out E-mail notification of new user.

Dear experts,
I got stuck on SMTP issue when configuring a E-sourcing sandbox, when I created some Buy-side users, the system was not able to send out the notifications but all stuck in "Queued Messages" .
I browsed in the system, the settings related with the SMTP function including below items:
1: "Source Email" in Company Properties, this email address is going to be indicated as the sender of a new user notification;
2: "Messaging" configuration in System Properties:
( messaging messaging.smtp.mailhost
messaging messaging.smtp.password
messaging messaging.smtp.username )
I have set up above fields as the same as a working E-sourcing application, but my sandbox still doesn't work for me, the new user created can't receive the notification to become a valid user of the system, so they will not be able to logon to the system without password information.
Would you please advice me what should I do, any of your response in highly appreciated!
Thanks and best regards!
edward.

Edward,
Please verify a couple of things:
1. Is the functional e-sourcing box is running on the same version of Sandbox version (which you are configuring)
2. Verify that "New User" notification template is set to active in the email templates setting through setup
3. If no issues with 1 and 2 then would suggest to clear mail queue from backend and try generating a new email
Please let us know the out come.
Good Luck.

Ical will not process meeting responses from Outlook. I send out meeting notices from Ical to nonOutlook and Outlook users. The nonOutlook users respond and I see that in my Ical Meeting. The Outlook users also respond but I do not see theirs

I send out meeting notices from Ical to nonOutlook and Outlook users. The nonOutlook users respond and I see the green check mark in my Ical Meeting. The Outlook users also respond but I see a gray "?" as if they didn't respond. Has anyone had this issue and if so, is there a fix? I'm currently running OS X 10.10.2 Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly
2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
In order to do that follow these steps:
Open cmd
telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)
you should see a response like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or
the smtp server is not responding.
For testing response from your server
For testing response say ehlo to it.
Type :
ehlo <servername>
output:
250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server.
Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
Type :
mail from: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
It's time to enter the recepient email address.
Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.5 [email protected]
Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
Type : data
output:
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Type:
subject: this is a test mail
Hi
This is test mail body
I am testing SMTP server.
Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
output:
250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
Type: quit
output:
221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
3) Check alerts are enabled for your web application
verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
Run this stsadm command to check that
Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
4) Check the Timer job and Properties
Go to
MOSS 2007: Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions
Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
job-immediate-alerts
job-daily-alerts
job-weekly-alerts
stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
The expected output is:
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.
If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
5) Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for all.
6) Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
permission.
7) If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
8) Most importantly , you should try this one.
Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
In order to get rid of that lock
Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
You will surely get the email alert.
I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
9) Try re-registering the alert template:
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
10) Try to clear the configuration cache
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Business iCal sending out multiple calendar invites - one calendar and one account, 2 people using it for work

First question:
My boss has a Macbook Pro (iPad & iPhone), I have a Dell and iPad. We use his iCal for our work calendar and my Outlook is logged into his iCal so that I can load appointments & send them out to clients. He obviously has access to the same calendar so that he can also load appointments.
We have realised that sometimes the meeting invite, although I only send ONE invite out, will send 6 invites to a person. Here below you will see the icons that appear next to the 6 invites that the person that receives it sees next to the invites. It is therefor 3 types of emails/invites that are each sent out twice to the client. This is obviously not ideal. Could it be that I must not include my boss in the invites (as it is already his calendar sending out the invites), or what could it be that I am doing wrong?
Second question:
How can I ensure that replies (Yes/No/Maybe/Comments) appear in the iCal meeting, as people reply, but those replies I have to copy and paste into the meeting as they do not currently automatically update in the meeting.
Third question:
Any suggestions on a better system/method?
Please help!

I think I know what can help. I also support Mac users in a mixed environment, and find that being able to access a Windows machine to test settings for my iCal users is very very helpful. If you do not have one, I could also fix this one by adding the user's account to my one Mac that runs Entourage.
On a PC: set up one of the problem accounts in Outlook, then go to Tools->Options & click on the Delegates tab. Click on a Delegate name (if they all have the same permission level, you can select all), then click the Permissions button. If the delegate have "Editor" permissions, there will be a little checked box that sends the delegate copies of all those meetings. De-select it.
Lemme know if you want Entourage instructions or if that does it for you.
The real question, of course, is why are there so many Exchange functions that iCal can't touch. Grrrr....

Email Notification on Calendar list Sharepoint Foundation 2013 not sending out email

Hi,
Actually i have 2 problem. I just don't have any idea how to solve them.
1 ) I have a machine installed with Windows Server2012 and Sharepoint Foundation 2013. Email invitation from system and alert me email is working fine. Then I created a few email sending workflow using sharepoint designer 2013. The email are going out fine
for list or document library but gave out error when i tried to send from Calendar list. The error is saying that the outgoing email is not configured correctly. If that was the case, should it be that i will receive error for all.
2) I have another machine with same installation as above but doesn't send out any kind of email(Invitation,alert me, SPD2013 custom worflow). I've checked telnet port 587, it is responding fine. I want to know if i need to open port in the firewall/router
settings for this port or if this issue is due to something else.
Any help is really appreciated.

What about Relay and Authentication?

This post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, its employees, or other MVPs.
Look.
I think this is the correct configuration because it sends emails normaly with SharePoint 2010.
If I configure my own email account in Outbound Security, Sharepoint 2013 sends emails but just when I login to Sharepoint, if other users login it doesn't send emails.

My MBP has started to send out TCP packets larger than the MTU on the NIC - is there any place that this can be overriden?

Got a very weird issue here and wondering if anyone has any other ideas. Basically over the wired NIC only, my Mac has started to send out large HTTP/HTTPS packets from the browser (> 1500 bytes) Captures show packet sizes from 2000 all the way to 4000 sometimes. This happens in Firefox and Chrome so doesn't appear to be application related.
This causes fragmentation issues and traffic drops which basically causes most of my websites and tools to crash and burn (and I get all sorts of SSL errors from applications, etc).
It appears to be limited to just TCP packets as pings with the DF bit set will not send any larger than 1500 bytes.
However if I switch to wireless, everything works fine and captures show the correct maximum packet size of 1500 for all packets leaving my client.
The MTU on the en0 interface is 1500 as per ifconfig and I made sure that it was set to 1500 in Network config panel (because there is an option for jumbo frames there which bumps up the MTU).
A packet capture also shows that during the three way handshake the TCP MSS is successfully sent and negotiated as 1480, but then it appears to ignore that when sending packets later in the TCP stream.
I've rebooted, upgraded to 10.7.4, checked the "sysctl" outputs and matched against a Mac not having the issue.
This is the newest MBP 15 inch model.
Any other ideas on things to check?

Have you used any sort of "tuner" software? You are obviously an advanced user. Sometimes we hack things up and forget about it later. If you are sure you didn't do that, maybe poke around with IPv6 settings. Supposedly people are trying to enable that and it is going to be a disaster.
