Mark As Spam is Useless

I continously mark email as SPAM thinking that would send a clue to the IT folks at Verizon that certain emails are SPAM.
Alas! Silly me! I have read this forum and found out that I have to actually forward the SPAM emails to a separate email address so that Verison can update their filters.
Now let me see...EarthLink & GMail do not stuff my inbox with SPAM, but Verison does....ummm. Maybe Verizon should purchase the same SPAM filters used by those 2 vendors and stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

We have some updated information about the spam dectector tool, from our email product manager:
What does SPAM DETECTOR tool do?
Your ability to communicate with family or friends can be hindered by unsolicited email or "spam". If you have your SPAM Detector ON, it will sift and catch unsolicited emails sent to your email account and either present them in the SPAM Detector folder or delete them. (Note: You can adjust your SPAM Detector settings in the Settings/Email Settings tab within Message Center.)
Furthermore, if there are emails you deem as SPAM, you can “Mark as SPAM” by selecting the email from your email inbox list view and select SPAM icon from top menu bar. It will put the email in your SPAM Detector folder and send an email to the VZ Abuse team and third party vendor to evaluate. If it is deemed SPAM, SPAM Detector definitions/rules will be updated.
Please note that marking email as SPAM does not add the email to the Blocked Senders list. Furthermore, SPAMMERs rarely use the same email address more than once to send SPAM.

I got a SPAM e-mail that when I mark as spam, it immediatly unmarks itself. I have turned off all addons and run in safe mode and this still happens.

First I am pissed that I had to make an account to report a bug.
Where should I send a copy of this e-mail so you can fix this bug that prevents spam from being marked as spam.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I went through all of my address books, and this e-mail address was not in any of them.

Office 365 OWA, mail via Safari is marked as spam

Hi,
HTML email send via the web based Outlook Web App (Office 365) in Safari (7.0.6) is marked as spam and so for bounced by external mailservers. Plain text email via Safari or email send via Firefox or Chrome (HTML or plain text) isn't marked as spam.
Anyone facing the same issue?

I have the same issue.
Mail works perfectly.. NO SPAM issues, EXCEPT when using Safari.
This is as much an APPLE issue as a Microsoft issue. All other browsers work perfectly. So, what is Apple doing in Safari
that causes it to be considered Spam?
Because of this I'm going to be forced to start using Firefox, which Apple probably doesn't want its users to do.

Product invoices sent to my customers are being marked as spam. Is there a way to fix that?

Customers who buy my products get an invoice as a confirmation, but its being marked as spam. I know that the quick fix would be for the customers to mark it as "Not Spam" but I need something more concrete. Is there a way to fix this?

If you state where you live that would be helpful. Walgreens has an app that you can send photos to for printing and then you can pick them up.
I think this what you are asking about.

Need help setting up a Mail filter to mark gmail Spam as read

I’m using gmail with Mail and have set up a Smart Folder that catchs all my unread mail. What I’m trying to accomplish is to mark all Spam as read, so it doesn’t show up in this Smart Folder.
I have a rule:
Gmail seems to do a pretty good job catching Spam and labeling it in the header but my rule doesn’t seem to be reading the header. For example,
Shows up in my Unread Smart folder. I’m guessing that even though I see the “Spam” designation, for some reason it really isn’t part of the message and thus isn’t caught by the filter.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Add words like "sample" "free" and other typical topics and words there are in junkmail to Message Containt rule.
Your Message containt rule most likely doesn't work because the junk message doesn't contain word "Spam".
Message containt rule checks if message has certain words, not what it is marked as.
You can also check if there's option to rule messages received from certain e-mail addresses to be moved to junk mail.

Mail suddenly marks as spam what is not and viceversa. It has worked perfectly until a few days ago. How can I restore the old junk "learnt" list? Where is it to be found?

Mail suddenly marks as spam what is not and viceversa.
It has worked perfectly until a few days ago. How can I restore the old junk "learnt" list, since it is marking as SPAM senders who have been my correspondants for years?? Where is the old junk pref file to be found?

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Convergence Mark as Spam

The SUN Convergence Help has this listed
How Do I Mark a Message as Spam?
1. Click the name of the email folder that contains the messages you want to mark as spam.
2. Select the message or messages you want to mark as spam.
3. From the toolbar menu, click the Spam icon.
That button does not seem to exist yet.

That button does not seem to exist yet.The button does exist, however the overall functionality still requires "refinement".
The reason the button doesn't show up by default is due to RFE #6690464 - "Disable spam functionality if mail server is not configured with a spam filter".
The "spam filter" configuration that is referred to is related to the following messaging server options:
service.feedback.spam: email address where to send spam reports.
service.feedback.notspam: email address where to send not-spam reports.
Configuring these options and restarting messaging server/app-server resulted in the spam icon showing up.
These options were added as part of RFE #6661563 - "Message should be sent to spam endpoint, when Junk, should allow Not Junk.". The idea is that when a user marks an email as spam/not-spam, a copy of the email is sent to a dedicated address and this way the user can provide feedback on the spam-filtering as per the following:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/draft-shafranovich-feedback-report/
Unfortunately this feature hasn't yet been fully implemented (the reporting isn't yet occurring).
In my testing with Convergence(+ patch 1), I also found and logged the following:
bug #6749220 - "Spam/Junk folder should be auto-created if missing"
RFE #6749223 - "Site-wide and per-domain configuration option for Spam/Junk IMAP folder name."
RFE #6749225 - "Provide end-user configurable IMAP folder name for Spam/Junk email"

Shane.

Emails keep coming back when deleted and marked as spam

I've got iPhone and iPad, both upgraded to iOS 7.1.2
I'm using several IMAP email accounts and on all of them I'm getting a very annoying problem.
When I delete or mark as SPAM an email, then it keeps reappearIng in the Inbox.
As far as I read on the Web, this is a well known and unsolved problem that many users experienced for the last 2-3 years.
How the **** is possible that Apple is unable to fix this bloody bug?!?
Did someone find a solution?
Many thanks in advance

Apple does not monitor these USER-TO-USER support forums
All support comes from other users like you
Usually when a post gets no response no one knows the answer, or there isn't enough information provided to make a guess, or the question has been asked and answered so frequently that a simple search would find the answer
Insulting the people who volunteer their time to help other users is not a strategy that would encourage anyone to respond.

All messages are marked as spam, 5.7.1 ? how do I fix this, I can receive messages but cant send.

Oh with the rot that goes on with emails and spam filters these days almost anything can be considered spam. Mail addresses to your self can be all that is required for it to be spam on some systems, so test using your email address to check it is working must be done with an account not hosted bu the same provider, given the web site is not blacklisted.
I checked before replying, as brand new web sites are often blacklisted because they share a server or IP address range that is blacklisted (Poor neighborhood) or the server is run from a dynamic IP address and therefore considered to be a home computer with an infection.
One thing you can try is go to the account settings on the tools menu, open the settings pane by clicking on the account name and removing any reply to address. (some spam filters get all excited about reply to addresses. If that does not work I suggest you contact hostbox for a more detailed instruction on why your mail is considered "confirmed spam".
But please let us know how you get on.

All Outgoing Emails Marked as SPAM

As of today, the primary PC we have used for years for our main .net account has all outgoing email marked as spam and blocked. Even single addressee, no content emails are bounced back as SPAM. I can still receive on the primary PC, and still send from other devices with the same account. I have deleted and re-added the account on the PC to make sure the server and port settings are current to no avail. Any thoughts on what might have happened?

As stated in the Spam FAQ page, you will not get any response when sending the message to [email protected] for review. You attach the message that you are unable to send, and they review it. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the filter will either be updated to allow the content that was previously blocked, or it will be determined to be a legitimate block and no changes will be made.
Some troubleshooting steps you can try:
If you have a signature, try removing one line at a time from it and attempting to send the message again. Some signatures look like "ads" to the filters, apparently.
If you are using a pop3 client (Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.) try sending your message from the verizon.net website. If this resolves the issue, then it is something that your client is adding to the message that is causing it to be blocked.
If the Subject line of your message has a whole bunch of "Fwd: Fwd: Re: Fwd:" try removing some of them.
Remove any links/URLs from the email one at a time to isolate if one of them is causing the block.
Some people have suggested sending the message to [email protected] for investigation. This may work for you as well.

Yahoo mail - mark as spam and folder creation?

Is there a way to mark mail in inbox as spam so yahoo knows to move these messages automatically to spam folder in the future? Since using my ipod to manage yahoo email, seems like more and more spam enters inbox because I can not mark mail as spam using iPod. And is it possible to create/delete folders for mail?

- No, there is no way to mark as spam and et that back to Yahoo.
- Yu can't create folders on the iPod. If yu hav a Yahoo IMAP account, you can usually create folders usning web mail and they will appear on the iPod. If you have the more common POP3 account then yu can't create folder that will appear on the iPod.

Legit email marked as spam

Anyone know a good contact at Comcast to help clear up a problem with the Comcast spam filter? Any email sent from our community website is now being sent to the spam folder (if turned on) in residents email accounts. I've tried customer support, but the agent said he couldn't find anything wrong. This is only an issue with Comcast...emails are not blacklisted, only marked as spam.

Comcast Security Assurance should be able to help you with this. Call them at 1-888-565-4329 (from http://constantguard.comcast.net/dedicated-support/).
The first-line reps there are sometimes not so helpful. If so, be persistent, and keep at them until you get a satisfactory answer.

Mark as spam on iPhone

Is there any way to mark email for my iCloud account as spam on my iPhone? I'm running iOS 5.1.1. It's extremely frustrating to receive spam email on my iPhone and have no way of reporting it. The iCloud WWW page will not allow you to log in from an iPhone and instead tells you to use the built-in Mail app. The Mail app will not allow me to mark spam. Since I have my iPhone set to display HTML images in email I have to be exceedingly careful not to open any spam messages until I can get to a desktop computer to log into iCloud.
Sometimes, I don't have access to a desktop for multiple days at a time, which means I can't mark the email as spam for days and have to tiptoe around it. I can't tap the delete button at the bottom of an email, because it might move me to the spam message, which means I'll trip the webbug and I'm hosed.
I thought that the new push was to be desktop-free as much as possible?
Yes, I could just delete it, but that doesn't help to train the spam filters.
Why is there no way, at all, of doing this on an iPhone? It's 5 years old already. Am I the only person in the world that receives spam on their iPhone?

you can do that in iOS6 as follows:
tap edit on the inbox view
tap the checkbox(circle) in front of spam email
tap move button at bottom of the screen
select the junk folder
the result is an unread email in the junk folder. Whether or not that adds smarts to the server side filtering I don't know, but if this particularly nasty spam I've been getting doesn't show up again I am going to assume it does...

How do u turn in emails & mark as spam & block phone numbers.

I can not figure out to mark an email as spam & keep it from emailing again.
Also how do I block someone from calling me Or atleast make it where it only comes through in an emergency & with only my permission.
I have voice control but I don't think it's Suri. It's asking me to buy the app. I thot the iPhone 4 had Suri.

Sign your cell number up on the Federal Do Not Call list. www.donotcall.gov
Once you have been on the list for 30days, report them every time they call, they wont last a week. I know it's not an immediate solution, but it will work in the long run. I've had the same problems in the past with the auto dialer collection agency looking for someone who is not me. Apparently I have a number that someone a few years ago had and they must have skipped on alot of debt. I get a new company about once every month or two. All the same thing, a recorded message saying if I am so and so, then I need to call them back at some number, that noone ever answers. I don't even bother anymore and just report them right away.

Help with Outoing Email that is being incorrectly marked as spam by Verizon

I'm trying to send my daughter's livejournal homepage link to a few people and Verizon keeps flagging it as spam. When my daughter sent me the link on 1/4/10, her email ended up in my spam folder, even though she used her .edu email address as she usually does. Is the problem with the link or has her email address suddenly been flagged as suspicious? HELP!!

I suggest you take a look at the link provided in the error: www.verizon.net/spamfaq
It is the content of the message that is being flagged as spam. If you feel that the content should not be blocked, you can forward the message to [email protected] as an attachment.
As stated in the Spam FAQ page, you will not get any response when sending the message to [email protected] for review. You attach the message that you are unable to send, and they review it. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the filter will either be updated to allow the content that was previously blocked, or it will be determined to be a legitimate block and no changes will be made.
