More Spam emails being sent from My Account again?

Despite changing my password and security several times from a clean PC, delteing all emails from my BT account regularly including sent items and spam folders and trash folders.
At least a dozen or more friends and collages are still getting regular spam emails from my account. I do not store any contacts in the webbased interface and don't even use the account these days so I "presume" that there is nothing I can do my end to stop theses emails being sent out from "somebody else".
Any suggestions welcome.

(One of many reasons I left BT).

Your account was probably hacked sometime back along with many others and your contact list will have been harvested by spammers. The list is now available to the spammers to use at any time they wish.
When they send spam to your contacts they are not sending them from your email account but rather they have spoofed your email address to make it appear it is from your account so that it fools your contacts into opening the spam.
What you need to do is create a new email address, use one of your sub-accounts and then tell all your contacts that your "old" email address has been compromised and that they should treat any emails from it as spam and delete them without opening them.
Once you have done that, if you still have a BT account, you can then change your "New" email address to become your BTID and primary email account by logging into your MyBT and going to My Profie and changing the contact email address and username to your "new" email address.
See link about spoofed emails addresses.

Spam email being sent from my AOL account

Hi All
I know there are a lot of posts on this, I have had a look through but nothing seems to mach my circumstances.
Early this morning I received a few email failure notifications to emails I didn't send.
I checked my sent items and sure enough I had 14 new items that I didn't send.
I was using my macbook at the approximate time the emails were sent and it was acting strange, I tried to close the lid to put it to sleep but it stayed on. I tried a couple more time and it eventually did.
The odd thing is the email addresses that have been emailed are definitely ones I have used in the past but years before I even had my mac, so I don't think its a virus on my machine as the addresses don't exist anywhere on it (history or address book), not all email addresses in my local address book where emailed so it looks like the virus has used email addresses from my AOL history (I don't use an address book within AOL if such a thing exists)
So I am confused as to where the virus is running, it hasn't just used my email address as the from field because I recognise most of the addresses it emailed but as I said from years before I even had my Macbook. But also as I said my Macbook was acting strange at the approximate time the emails were sent.
It seems very unlikely that AOL themselves have a virus (but I have contacted them also to be sure).
Any suggestions?
I am runnning 10.6.6 on a 2010 Macbook. Email client is Mail.
Many thanks

Hi. Ive had the same thing happen to me. Ive finally got round to deleting all of my emails and on the 17th April around midnight 'I' sent loads of emails to people only it wasnt me! A few of them had been returned unsent to me but quite a few went through. I checked my sent box and it is some bloke from China advertising his Ebay business and his website!!! After that night my email returned to normal.The only thing that strikes me as weird though is that day/night is when all of the ps3 details got stolen and we have recently brought a ps3 and given most of our details. Maybe this is all related? Shelley

Emails being sent from my account that I did not ssend

This morning I was sent an email wife's email account that she did not send, further, it has now been sent to her entire contact list. How do I stop this.

The problem is with your email provider. I suspect someone has hacked your account because you use the same password for most of your online work. You should change your password and not use the same password for most of your on-line accounts, most people are lazy and don't use different passwords because they can't remember them all. You should begin changing your passwords and using a password management tool to help you remember. If you need help choosing one Google "OS X Password Managers" to find some reviews.

HT201303 Spam email being sent from my device

My device is sending out emails to my contacts but it is spam!

Change the password to your e-mail account

I have 3 email accounts in Mail on Macbook Pro. Mail is only being sent from 1 account.

I have 3 email accounts in Mail. Mail is only being sent from 1 account, even though I select one of the other accounts in the "from" field. In my sent box, the "From" field says the accout I selected, but all recipients say they receive it from a different account. I set my composing preferences "send new messages from" to the main account, but all my mail is still being sent from a different account. I cannot see that this is happening, only people receiving it can. I noticed it because when they reply, it goes to a different account than what I sent to them. Any suggestions with what I should do?

Thank you! Funny. I had just found that answer eleswhere: http://simonwheatley.co.uk/2013/02/apple-mail-sending-email-from-the-wrong-accou nt/

There are unauthorised emails being sent from my emails accounts. This started recently following my iOS update to 5.0.1. Is this an iCloud hacking issue?

There appears to be emails being sent out to random contacts from my shared address book with dubious content none of which were sent by me. I believe this was sent by unauthorised hacker from iCloud as the contacts are not even in my personal contact list, but came from my wife's contact list which have been shared via iCloud. Is there security breach issue with iCloud?

I have the same situation (there seems to be lots of emails sent through my Icloud account. I don't see those emails in my "sent" folder, but I can see plenty of email (Chinese spam emails) bounced back into my account stating that I have exceded the sending limits. I cannot send anything either from my account (of course, the sending limit is alwasy exceeded). I have also changed twice my password, but the issue remains.
Any clues?
I am really surprised at this. I was from the begining with .Mac, and never had any issue during all these years. This is now with Icloud, which should be safer and better :-(

When replying an email from my icloud alias, it's being sent from primary account

Hi everybody
I have experienced a little problem which is that when I'm replying to an e-mail from my iphone using my icloud alias, my reply is being sent from my primary e-mail and not from my alias as it should be sent.
That's happening only when I reply from the iphone, not when using webmail icloud.com.
Has anybody experienced the same issue ever?
Thanks

It may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

HT4519 Default email is set but emails are being sent from another account

I have set up my email accounts on my iPad and set the default email as my home email. I have just noticed that all emails sent from my iPad are being sent from a different account. What am I missing?

Edit the address book entry to uncheck use display names. If you want to disable it completely Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > advanced >reading and Display and turn off the use of display names.
You never had this issue with Outlook.... The question is what did the recipient see, not what did you see. If they did not use Outlook there is a good chance they saw what was in their address book. You can address your mail as sent by "Very Important person from Very Profitable Company" If I add you to my address book as "The Goblin" I see "The Goblin" This is because Thunderbird places control in the hands of the user. Outlook does not. Note the Multiple ways to view a message body on the view menu.
I get your frustration, but your no longer using Outlook. Outlook is an excellent exchange client. I find it actually does email badly.

Why is mail being sent from wrong account

I am trying to send mail from a specific account, however even though it is showing as the correct account when it is received it is from my partners account. I have followed the @mail@ set up and checked everything - which appears to be ok - but it is still wrong somewhere. HELP please.

I am having this same issue. I have several accounts (all .live) which I use for my various different jobs. Frequently now I am sending a mail, or replying to a mail, and it is being received from the wrong account.
- I check the account at the top of the mail that I am sending is correct.
- the mail listed in my 'Sent' folder shows as being sent from the correct account.
- When a client replies to my mail, the reply comes to an incorrect account, and on their email the heading for my original mail shows the incorrect email address & name.
- the email accounts seem to be random - not always the same incorrect one is used.

Ironport C170 Blocks Emails Being Sent From SMTP Relay

I have an issue with emails being sent out through our virtual SMTP Relay from a server on the DMZ. Any emails being sent to internal email accounts on our domain works fine. However the ones sent to external accounts are being rejected by the RAT. Here is a shot of the rejection message we are getting:
29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
Protocol SMTP interface Data 2 (IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx) from sender IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Reverse DNS host internal.domain.org verified yes.
29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
(ICID xxxxxxx) ACCEPT sender group UNKNOWNLIST match sbrs[-1.0:10.0] SBRS 0.4
29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
Start message xxxxxx on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx).
29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
Message xxxxxx enqueued on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx) from [email protected]
29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
Message xxxxxx on incoming connection (ICID xxxxxxx) to [email protected] was rejected by Recipient Access Table (RAT).
29 Oct 2013 10:09:58 (GMT -05:00)
Message xxxxxx aborted: Receiving aborted by sender
I am new to the Ironport world so I am having a hard time figuring out how to allow for my SMTP relay to send emails to external email accounts. Thanks for any advice in advance!

It looks like the message should be arriving via SENDERGROUP RELAYLIST instead of
ACCEPT sender group UNKNOWNLIST .
Navigate to GUI --> Mail Policies --> HAT Overview
Then click the RELAYLIST sendergroup
Add the IP address of your sending MTA to this group, submit and commit changes.

Why is email being sent from my secondary and not from my default account as per my settings - even when I remove the secondary email account?

I have 2 email accounts on my iPhone 4S. My secondary account is a gmail account. My primary account (not gmail) is set as my default account. Why, when I compose a new message in my primary account and then send, the email is issued from from gmail? And then why if I delete/ remove my gmail account from my iPhone and then compose a new message from my primary account (now the only account on my iPhone) it still sends from the gmail account?

No, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it. Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot? Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???

Automatic Emails Being Sent Through My Account

I have current antivirus software on the computers that I use to access my email, and I don't think I have a virus. I do also access my email from my iPhone.
I would very appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening and how to stop it.
Thanks,

This happened to me four month ago. Change your password and the spamming will stop. Your password was probably figured out by robo-software. Make it harder to crack.

Emails being sent from iPad gets truncated

Device : iPad1
iOS : 6.0.1
When email is sent out from iPad the view from Outlook is truncated, when we open on iPhone it looks ok.
We already updated the iOS to the latest version but its still the same.
If the email is forwarded using Outlook/iPhone or other devices the email is ok. Issue is only happening when its forwarded or sent from iPad.
no error messages received.
We have tried to update iOS, refreshed mail, and reconfigured the email settings but still the same.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Mail always being sent from first account

When I click "reply", my mail always goes out from my eathlink account, even if the original email came in on my website account. I have to manually change it, to have it go out from website account.
How can I set the default so all my mails now are sent from my web account automatically?
Thanks

Hello Mimi.
Have you created and are accessing your website email account as a separate email account in Mail or are you forwarding messages received by your website email account to your Earthlink email account?
If you are accessing your website email account as a separate email account in Mail, when hitting reply for a message received by your website email account, the website email account should be used by default as the sending email account.
With all Mail.app versions prior to Tiger Mail, there is not a default email account selection used when selecting New to compose a new message.
When selecting New to compose a new message with Jaguar or Panther Mail, the default email account used is based on the current mailbox selected in the Mailboxes drawer. If you have your website email account's Inbox or Sent mailbox selected in the mailboxes drawer when selecting New to compose a new message, the website email account will be chosen as the sending email account automatically.
When "In" or "Sent" or a user created "On My Mac" mailbox is selected in the mailboxes drawer (without an account's mailbox selected), the default account used when selecting New to compose a new message is the first account listed in the Account's pane or list at Mail > Preferences > Accounts. If you are accessing multiple/separate accounts in Mail, you can select/drag the chosen account in the Account's pane or list to the top of the list to be listed first.
Tiger Mail includes a default "Send new mail from" account selection preference when selecting New to compose a new message regardless which mailbox is selected in the Mailboxes drawer but when selecting reply or forward for a message received by an email account, the default account used is the account the message was received by.
