My email is listed as ****SPAM****

I am relatively new to Macs, and I am trying to send emails from my Mail, but everyone who gets my emails has ***SPAM*** listed in the subject line. They have me in their address book, it even happens when I send a message to myself. Why is this? Help!

Hello aktroop, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What's my ip...

Start with these three, check SpamCop or SpamHaus to see if your IP is there...

Sometimes an ISP will bloc a whole other ISP too, if it's the source of too much SPAM.

  • Yahoo email contact list compromised /spammed all my contacts

    Ok, so I did click on a link that someone close and dear to me asked me to check out via an email.
    It turned out it was from an old account of hers that she hasn't used in years, but I still recalled it for I used it at one time.
    which is why I thought it genuine.
    ok so now the Fun, not to mention the Boo
    A few months later, last week, I go into my yahoo email account and notice all these mailer daemon emails.
    Those notifications of not being able to deliever your mail.
    I notice that they were mostly from email accounts from about 20 years ago, that I never deleted ,but knew that they no longer function as these people have changed their address or email provider compleleltly .
    Not unlike the account of the original email from the dear friend that started this nightmare....
    Then I got a hunch after seeing all these mailer daemons in my inbox to check my sent box.
    YIKES a ROONIE O  !!!!!!
    All me contacts have been sent this really embarrassing buisness opportunity of a lifetime....
    The same one a few months ago I clicked on with this computer....
    I know I know ...stand me in the corner with the dunce cap on...
    they got me.....
    so I copy /pasted all me contacts into my imac stickies....pretty clever huh...we don't have a word processor but there is the stickies...
    And it does remember what you put in it....winkety wink!!!!
    And then deleted all my contacts in the yahoo account...sigh.
    This account has so many a connection to my real life i just can't delete it...
    soooooo...
    What do you think happened....I see this buisness opportunity and apology from various forum members from various forums I attend online.
    same thing with me , the forums i was set up to email my posts and recieve contributions.....the forums I attend recieved the bogus spammer....very embarressing...
    It makes you look like a moron or some desperate fool trying to earn money from an inane job.....a job for the jobbless..a carrear in buffoonery 101 .
    A) is my computer compromised
    B) is some trojan living in the bowels of my OS
    C) how to delete this thing
    D)thinking of buying icloud and backing up everything on it and doing a total reformat.
    E) not a bad idea huh, it's along the stickie idea and comes from the same desperation to do something with imac.
    F) any suggestions
    yours forever even though virus/trojan stuff is starting to happen on imacs
    FunBoo
    OXO

    I did and i think i might know whats happening.
    I think the email account is actually on yahoo server and not in my computer.
    If thats the case it's a yahoo issue and not apple.
    They don't seem to talk about it though and you have to like fish around and guess.
    too much money involved i guess.
    so like when i clicked on the link it was allowing something to happen on the yahoo server...
    when ever you download an attatchment from yahoo mail...it always gets checked first before coming into my computer...
    so i never downloaded anything just clicked away on yahoo...
    which tells me every email you send on yahoo ...is assessable to yahoo people...
    live and learn...
    i'm totallt inept at this stuff...do not know what i'm talking about...it's all feeling around in the dark...
    any comment on what i just wrote would be cool

  • Email to  list of addresses from a file

    Does anyone know if it is possible to create an Automation that will send the same email to every email address listed in a text file?
    I am working on a local community event and have several people registered. Periodically I need to email out a short sentence or two to each person on this list. In the past, I have simply copied the addresses in my file and pasted them into the Bcc line with my own address in the To line. As Spam filters get better, this type of address scheme is often rejected.
    It would be better to send a separate email to each person by picking the email address from a file, line at a time, and sending the canned message.
    It was not obvious to me how to approach this with Automator.
    Perhaps Automater is not the correct choice - maybe I need to use a shell script or Perl and interact directly with sendmail?
    Thanks

    If you're using Mail, you can just send everyone the email by putting their address in the BCC header; you should be able to leave the To header blank. Spam filters are almost alway examing the origin and the subject of the email, and some even examine the body.
    So, unless one of those fields is questionable according to the spam filters, your mail should pass through uninterrupted, since filters have no way of knowing whether you sent an email via BCC; they see only the address to where a single email is being delivered.
    More likely is that one or more of your recipients hasn't marked your email address as "okay" or put it on a whitelist, so it may get put into a junk or spam folder on their system.
    Hope this helps,

  • In my MacBook Pro "sent" mailbox emails are listed by my email address but on my iPad the "sent" emails are listed by the sent email address?

    On my MacBook Pro in the "sent" mailbox emails are listed by my email address but on my iPad the "sent" emails are listed by the sent email address.  Very hard to look at the address where the message was sent to?

    After upgrading to IOS 7.0.3 the problems gone.
    There is no mention of this being a bug or a fix so im thinking a software glitch was the issue.
    When I look at a message in my inbox and it says "To: JB Manz" - I click my name and it shows my contact info including my 4 email addresses and the address the message was addressed to is highlighted blue, others all black.
    Not sure how it got fixed but it's working like it used to.

  • I have a new email address and updated it with my apple id/icloud and updated on my iPhone, but i'm getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.

    I have a new email address and updated my apple id/icloud  with the new address. I updated on my iPhone, but i'm keep getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.  How do I get it to go away?

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

    I clicked on a link in an email that may be spam/phishing.  How can I scan my mac book pro for viruses?

    You can just download the free ClamXav and scan your entire drive - but as there are no known viruses for OS X (although there is malware - see Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide) it's very unlikely that you have a virus.
    The best source against malware is OS X itself and common sense. Don't click on links in suspicious emails and be careful of anything that wants to install something on your computer that is not from a reputable source.

  • Looking for an email discussion lists script.

    HI! I am looking for a email discussion lists script that
    works on a windows
    platform. I have looked on Google but only found Mailman
    which is good but
    only works on UNIX/Linux. The other I found has to be
    installed via a
    setup.exe which is only good if you own and have direct
    access to your own
    server.
    Does anyone out there know of a email discussion lists script
    in ASP or PHP
    or similar that uses an ms-access or ms-SQL database and
    works on a windows
    platform?

  • Some of my emails are categorised as Spam. Is a BT...

    I've not managed to get satisfaction from BT Support Chat.  I'm hoping a Mod can help (they usually come up with the goods!).
    I use a feature on my NAS to email me a status report once per week through mail.btinternet.com (using my normal logon credentials) from my btinternet.com alias to another email address (a domain of mine hosted by another provider).  This provider's email forwarding service then forwards the email to my btinternet.com account.  For the past few weeks the email has bounced (i.e. it appears in my btinternet.com inbox without having gone through the email forwarding service).  The other provider says "......you were set as SMAPPER by BT. To solve this issue, you need to contact BT to remove you from their blacklist".  These weekly emails used to be OK and I'm not aware that anything has changed.  Sending from Outlook using my btinternet.com alias icontinues to be OK.  What could the problem be?
    This is the 'bounce' email I get:

  • Email Enabled lists - where to run the SMTP server? On APP server or on Exchange Server? Or somewhere else?

    Hi there,
    I need to setup EMail Enabled lists in SharePoint 2010 site. Where do I need to run the SMTP server? On APP server or on Exchange Server? Or somewhere else?
    Thank you so much.

    The SMTP service cannot run on the Exchange server. You can run it on a SharePoint server, or a stand alone server and share out the drop directory over SMB.

  • How does everyone manage Email Distribution Lists in E-Business Suite

    We have heaps of email distribution lists stored in Oracle Ebusiness Suite, excel, access ..you name it!
    I would like to use a standard method for tagging contacts in the CRM Sales and Marketing Online so our employees can run reports to create external mailing lists.
    Today we use classification codes to do this. Have also thought about using a descriptive flex field and report on that to create a contact list with name and email addresses.
    Anybody have a better idea for how to achieve this in Oracle Marketing/Sales Online?
    Ideally, we would like to create a customer facing website so people could subscribe/unsubscribe from email lists and have it fully integrated 'plugged in' to the above solution.

    Thanks Ravi for your response.
    No, no such kind of reasons.
    Indeed I can send successfully to a simple email address but not to the distribution list ...
    The problem is right there, in the fact that there is a ditribution list but I really don't know what's the problem ...
    Have you ever use a distribution list? Any special thing to do with it?
    A'll appreciate any help.
