Misrouted emails to .mac users with same name as person at different ISP?

In the last 6 months I've received emails from strangers with .mac addresses whose prefix (eg jimbo@) is the same as the actual name of someone in my address book who isn't a .mac user. It looks as though mac is looking at the name, searching for a .mac user with that prefix, and misrouting the email to them instead!
Any ideas? Is it possible? Any fixes?
iMac & Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I wrote an email to a friend nicknamed Alleycat. I had not put
Alleycat in the name fields in address book, but it is the prefix
of the email address, which goes to her website. Forgetting this,
I carelessly typed 'Alleycat' in 'To:' and it came up as the blue button
which indicates mail knows the address (which it should not have done),
so I hit Send.
The Mail.app stores all message recipients in the list of Previous Recipients in Mail by default and the Mail.app autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients. A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address. You can add a previous recipient to the Address Book or remove a previous recipient from the list. Removing a previous recipient from the list of Previous Recipients in Mail has no effect on Address Book entries.
A week later I got a worrying personal response from a totally
unknown (but real) [email protected], and the friend Alleycat
had not received my mail.
Do you save all sent messages? If so, is this sent message still available in the account's Sent mailbox to view the email address in the To: field?
The Mail.app autofill feature does not make up an email address. As previously provided, the autofill feature pulls from contacts in the Address Book and from the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
Regarding being infected by a Trojan written for OS X, this would require opening an attached file that is masquerading as something legitimate and you would also be prompted for your admin password before the malicious script is installed.
You cannot be infected by anything targeted at OS X (which are few and far between anyway) by opening an email message alone.

How to get Unique calid for users with same name in multiple domain env..

I found we need to use "-k legacy" option for creating users in non-hosted setup..
I had two domains default as xxxx.com and the one that I created as yyyy.com
When I have users with same name in two of the domains as user1..
The calid for both of them is... user1 ....so they share the same calendar
When Im in valid SSO of yyyy.com I get the mail account for user1 as [email protected] .....but the calid .. common as user1
How I can get unique calid for users under two domains..
whether I need to set Hosted domain support...Then how the mailid's differ with out using hosted domain support..
And I need to login UWC without using @domain.com...
Help me on this...
Ashik

Do you have UWC and Cal configured at least for virtual domain support?
basically.. for discussion.. let's say you have three domains on your server.. 1st domain is the default domain. other 2 domains are virtual domains.
if all domains were created with mail and cal support (-S mail,cal).. you would use the following options when creating users:
1) for the default domain.. you must use the "-k legacy" option when adding users.
2) for the other two domains.. when you create the user.. do NOT use a "-k" option.
If you do not use the "-k" option.. it defaults to "hosted" which will cause the user's calid to be [email protected]
If you Do use the "-k legacy" option.. it will create the calid as just "userid"
With regard to logging into UWC without the @domain.com part of a username in a hosted domain.. the easiest way to avoid this.. is to point a host name under the hosted domain to the server.
if you point webmail.xxxx.com to the server... and then access it via:
http://webmail.xxxx.com/uwc/
any users in the xxxx.com hosted domain will NOT need to use @xxxx.com when logging in... they can just use "userid"
This feature does not take any special configuration (aside from adding a DNS entry for the hosted domain)
Hopefully that helps.

How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different. You need to get the apps in sync. Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating). Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

Can I run 2 different domains with same name but on 2 different machines?

I am trying to setup 2 domains with same name (sharedcds1) on 2 different machines (Machine1 and Machine2).
          When I start the weblogic managed server 1 (sharedcds1managedserver1) on Machine2, it throws an error saying it has some conflicts with the managed server 1 running on Machine1.

Yes you can. Make sure that domains configured to use different multicast address. WLS uses multicast for communications between nodes in domain.
          although your configuration will work, you could have troubles if you going to execute inter-domain calls between domains/servers with the same names.

Multiple Local Users With Same Name

Hi guys, this is the screen saver after i upgraded to Yosemite. I knew wifi have problem, but i'm still okay with it. Another problem that i'm facing now is this!
I don't really understand what's the number meaning behind my username which is the number (7), i've never seen this before. Sometime it will turn to 2, 3, 4, or maybe 5. This problem force me to quit some software because it said i'm using same license with multiple user, but i'm the only one who using this username!
I don't understand what happen with this, i've try to read and change almost everything in the preferences. I've try to google everything too, can anyone help me? I really don't want to format my macbook. I've never register same username even i'm in a office.
Really appreciate if anyone can guide me and tell me what should i do! Thanks!

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

I've gotten some relief by renaming it in System Preferences/Sharing and then clicking Edit tab to make sure it is correct there. May not hold.

Multiple users with same name, different domains

I'm setting up a mail server for the first time . I've got everything working fine, but I have a question. Can I have the following: [email protected] and [email protected] be two separate accounts? Currently it goes to the same mailbox.
Thanks,
- Don

Yes you can. You will need to set the 2 domains up as virtual mail domains.

Two user with same profile and role having different authorization

Dear All,
I have very strange case of authorization . We have a new abap developer in our company . Her profile as copied from an exiting abap developer's profile in Development system. But she don't have authorization for lot of transaction that the existing user have. I checked the profile tabs , role tabs . then done the user compare for all the roles , but of no use.
I did a compare of the two uses using S_BCE_68001430 and could see is that the existing abap user is having authorization starting with T_PXXXXXXXX that is giving him extra rights. These authorization is not present in any of the existing role he is assigned to (checked using S_BCE_68001396). The authirsaction in the roles start with T-DXXXXXXXX
Will appreciate if any one can give any input . The problem is i need to assign each authorisation the existing user having manually to the new user.
regards
Tony

Thanks for the mail.
I check the "Reference User for Additional Rights" -- there is no refernce user assgined.
I checked the table USR04 the no. of Profle for the two users are diffrent and in the table UST04 also the the existing uer is having addtional profiles.
I like to add one more point Some of the roles of the two users are composite roles and both the composite and its orignial roles are included the profile of both users.
Does any one have idea of the authorisations starting with T_PXXXXXXXX
regards
tony

A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail. When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name. I have gone to the window pop-down to 'previous recipients' and deleted that addressee as well as all the email addresses it is assigning to that name. I have also deleted the account entirely from my address book. I have have run repair permissions and also full defrag in iDefrag. Still the problem persists. Any suggestions?

Hello CarolineLongEaton,
I noticed you posted this problem quite a while ago and wondered if you managed to have it fixed in an alternative way then posting here. It is too bad no one has posted a solution here.

Sync a phone with 2 Macs (having the same name)

Hi,
The question is on the title:
is there a problem to use 2 Macs HAVING THE SAME NAME (I.E. my name) with a single phone ?
I hope a clearly asked my question (my frenchy english is sometimes clumsy).
Where can I find a omplete documentation of iSync.
Thank you all

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The short answer is yes, this approach is problematic and can result in severe data corruption on not only your mobile handset, but on both computers. The name of each computer is immaterial: iSync is not intended to support the use of a device as a 'data storage' go-between to equalize the contents of contact, calendaring and tasks records on two or more Macintosh desktop or portable computers.
Instead, you should synchronize multiple Macintosh computers using:
• .Mac Sync with a .Mac account
• MySync from MildMannered Industries (technology acquired by Mark/Space)
• the not-yet released SyncTogether from Mark/Space
More information about these options is available here:
http://www.mildmanneredindustries.com/mysync

How can OIM provision users with same Display Name in AD?

I can create users with same First Name, Middle Name and Last Name (same Display Name) in OIM if they have different UserId.
But I can not provision two users with same Display Name to one Organization Unit in AD, the resource provisioning shows
Status: Rejected
Response: AD user already exists
Can AD be configured to create users with same Display Name (different UserId) in one OU, or would I have to create logic in OIM to modify the display name so it gets accepted by AD?
Thanks!

Thanks Nitesh. Also, I can create the user with same DN in different OU's, not in same OU.
I agree once we determine that same cn exists in one OU , I can modify the display name by appending a number at the end or something. I understand the logic but I need more details on how to specify this logic in the pre-pop adapter, can you please share more details.
Thanks a lot!

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

How to delete one existing file before uploading a file with same name?

Hello everybody.
I am uploading a file to Tomcat server. But, the problem is:
i want to delete an existing file in the server, if i upload a fresh file with same name. In other words, "First check for the file with the same name in the server. If it exists, then delete existing file in the server and upload fresh one". If such file doesnot exist, then upload the file to server.
I have given deleteonExit()
but, for the first time when user is uploading, i want to check for the file with same name in the server.

2 users with same user id in OIM!

hi,
can you please help me with this production environment issue!
there are 2 users with same userid, same first name and last name in OIM but are only one is present in all of the target resources. i just dont know how to delete such user, as the two are in active state.
Any suggestions are welcome!!
Thanks!

This can only happen if something went wrong with your trusted reconciliation settings. Mostly with the settings of recon rule. Please check whether in the rule definition, whether it is set to case sensitive. Even that, it shouldn't create 2 users with the same user id in OIM as user id is unique in OIM enforced in the database table.

Files with same name in different packages

I have a file with the same name defined in two different packages.
When I generate the javadoc, I get an error saying that
Class com.eg.toolkit.Email already defined in com.eg.common.Email.java
Does javadoc expect all files to be of different names acroos packages?
Thanks
Chintu

You can use the same class name in different packages.
The Java API does that (java.awt.List, java.util.List).
This is odd. What version of javadoc are you using,
and what command are you passing in, with what classpath setting?
