Need Spam Filter redirection without sending 'undeliverable'

I've been using the GUI setting for the Spam filter.
Is there a way to set the filter to redirect without sending the 'undeliverable' message?
We want to keep a copy of the SPAM for reference when checking if a message was a false positive. I want to send it to another account that we can check.
Presently when setting the Spam filter to 'redirect' spam to another account it sends an error to the sender saying it was undeliverable. Since most spam messages have the same recipient and sender address the user that would have got the spam is now getting the 'undeliverable' message.

Hi!
I had this same problem about a month or so ago, and then it magically cleared up.
I just started experiencing it again a couple of days ago.
It's CLEARLY a Verizon issue, but their technical support leaves a LOT to be desired.
I've been a DSL customer for 10 years now, and usually have to either troubleshoot issues myself or wait for them to go away.
I certainly hope someone from Verizon reads these forums, but I wouldn't bet the farm on that.
Let's see what happens.

Need help setting up the Spam Filter in Mail

Hi,
I tried so many times to set up my Spam filter in Mac OS Mail, without any success so far. Basically, I have 2 email accounts in Mail, one of them should only let mails through which have "Webmessage from" in their title. So I added the following rule in the Options (translated from German): 'Subject doesn't contain Webmessage from'. Additionally I also added 'Email is Advertisement' and I used 'fulfilling one of the following rules'. What this does, it it filters EVERYTHING and throws it into the junk. I also tried with other rules, as for example 'Sender is in previous receiver' and 'Email is not adressed to my full name', ... Mail just filter everything, everytime or nothing at all.
Can somebody please help me?

When you set up a mail filter, you can have multiple conditions before an action is taken. So, for example, if you want a rule to apply to one email address, set up the first condition where the 'to' is equal to the email address you want filtered. Click the plus sign next to it, and add the 'subject doesn't contain Webmessge from' condition. Above the 2 conditions, check 'all' of the following conditions. Then under perform the following actions, add two rules, one mark as read, and two move to junk or trash or wherever. That way, since it's marked as read, you never see it in any unread mail counts.

When i try to set up my icloud account the system says it is sending me an email to verify. I never get the email and it is not in my spam filter. How can i get set up??

Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

scottxx,
That was very nice of you to provide your friend with a new phone! I am sorry to say that the device will not be able to activate while in Dubai. For a device to activate it must connect to the VZW network to become active. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Amavisd not running, mails not delivered when spam filter is enabled

Hey everyone,
So I've got a slight problem here with a 10.4.11 server. Our spam filter was set to be too tolerant of spam, allowing a threshold 22.0 before bouncing it, so through the command line I edited /etc/amavisd.conf to $sa_kill_level_deflt = 6.0; tag2 is set to 3.0. Then I bounced amavisd via:
sudo /bin/launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amavis.amavisd.plist
sudo /bin/launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amavis.amavisd.plist
Well that caused all sorts of whacky issues with the queue. The server couldn't connect to itself and wouldn't deliver any mail, only queue it up. So I went back in to amavisd.conf and changed the parameters back to default, then bounced amavisd again. To no avail. Then I restored from a backup file I had created and bounced amavisd again to no avail.
Finally I removed the junkmail and virus filters via SA, saved, then reenabled them to no avail. Then I just disabled them and mail is flowing again, but I still have 187 messages in my queue that wont get delivered no matter how many times I flush it.
After more research, I issued a ps -U clamav to see if amavisd is running, below are the only results I get:
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
1291 ?? Ss 0:00.01 freshclam -d -D -pfreshclam.pid -c 1
I would assume it is NOT running...? I next issued amavisd to see if it throws any errors, and get the following:
ERROR: MISSING REQUIRED BASIC MODULES:
MIME::Parser
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/amavisd line 139.
So my next question is how do I repair amavisd so I can get it to run so I can reenable the content filter. Here are the results of postconf in case you need them:

To get the queue going, issue:
sudo postsuper -r ALL
That said, I would think you initially introduced a typo in amavisd.conf. Next you probably restored amavisd and amavisd.conf files which were incompatible with each other and/or amavis incompatible with the updated perl modules of the latest security update.
To fix things, I would re-apply the latest combo updater and security updates (assuming you are running stock versions and have not installed your own versions of amavisd, etc).
If things still do not work, please post the output of:
amavisd -V

SPAM filter setting for CRES secure e-mail

I am using Ironport strictly as an outgoing e-mail encryption engine. We use a different incoming spam filter (Barracuda). I would like to be able to go to the CRES site and send an encrypted message to our internal domain so users can establish their CRES credentials. However, the anti-spoofing rules on the Barracuda block the incoming mail because the domain it was from is our internal domain. I have whitelisted the mx-res.cisco.com address, 216.206.186.134, but I am still receiving block messages like below (I removed the actual e-mail address):
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: Test 1
Sent: 10/15/2009 7:36 AM
The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:
(removed) on 10/15/2009 7:36 AM
The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator.
mx1.res.cisco.com #5.0.0 smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'Blocked\x00\x006' (delivery attempts: 0)
First of all, are there other IP addresses I should be whitelisting for Cisco RES outbound e-mail mail servers? What else do I need to do? I don't want to turn of the anti-spoofing, due to the spam we would receive.

With the recent CRES upgrade IP address range used for mail delivery has changed. Please refer the below posting.

Email spam filter

I am using Intuit's GoPayment to process my credit card payments from customers. GoPayment allows me to email a receipt to my customer but many do not have email addresses so I purchased the HP3522 ePrinter so that I could email the receipt directly to the printer's email address enabling me to provide them with a printed receipt. The email spam filter is rejecting these emails. Intuit creates the email and sends it with my gmail account listed as sender. (I have the settings on the printer set to accept ANY addresses). Anyone else have this issue?
I am able to send the receipt to myself and then send that email to the printer but that seems rather counter-productive and time-consuming. Is there a way to get these receipts to print on this printer without this added step??
I paid for the printer, the paper, and the ink cartridges - shouldn't it be MY decision if spam emails are using it up??? Please, let ME decide what is spam!!!

Hi CARParts. The spam filter for email prints cannot be overridden. If the subject line is blank, that could be a reason it is being blocked, but I imagine it has something typed in. If you wish to print these receipts a workaround to consider would be to have them sent to your email directly and then save/convert them to a PDF file, and then send to the printer.

Why is Verizon limiting Spam Filter to only 50 entrees?

I've been with Verizon (first with DSL and now FIOS) for over 15 years.   Lately, the SPAM has gotten really out of hand and I have realized that the most powerful way to deal with it is to set-up the SETTINGS / E-MAIL OPTIONS / FILTERS inside the Verizon's Webmail website for each .NET account I have and use.
Believe me, it actully works but of course, the spammers keep changing the spelling of keywords to bypass the filter. I have had no problem to go in an add "new" keywords about once a week but just now, I got the shock of my life.
It seems that Verizon is limiting each email address to just 50 filters.   WHY??!?!?!?
It's not as it you can go logic entry for each keyword (meaning you can specify 10 words in each entry and us AND/OR logic). You need to use a phrase or just a single word per EACH filter entry.
How and whom do you suggest I contact to complain about this. I am considering writing the executive office if I have to.
This is just so wrong.   When I go in and add filter keywords, I am not taking up Verizon heck of a lot of Verizon's storage, nor am I taking up their time.
Can someone please tell me if I am missing anything and how can we all get involved in having them moving up the limitation from 50 to at least 200, if not 500!!!!
- A shocked Verizon user

I have been reading these discussions periodically for the past few months and subscribed today just to add my voice to the chorus of customers who find Verizon's silence and inaction on this issue inexcusable. Verizon email accounts are not free and every Verizon customer knows that we pay through the nose for Verizon FIOS service including the email. I view it as an insult to consantly see recommendations about "turning the spam filter on", "marking not caught messages as SPAM" and "forwarding not caught messages to Verizon" when none of these actions changes anything as anyone who has done these for months can attest.
I too have been a Verizon customer for over a decade and only early this year became subjected to the massive onslaught of OBVIOUS spam. I understand and accept that the spammers change servers everyday and send out the same spam over and over. However, key word filtering does work so if key word filtering works at the end user level, why can't verizon do it at the server/source level? Needless to say I too was livid when I discovered that Verizon limited the number of filter rules one can make. So on the one hand they do minimal filtering (the only SPAM I see get caught is spam that has my username in the subject line and offers of male enhancement remidies), but limit the amount of filtering you can do. Unfortunately for us customers, as the old saying goes, Membership (in the monopoly club) has its privileges.

Spam filter mulfunction

I have 3 mail accounts that I open via Apple Mail.
As I increasingly get all the medical and insurance spam, I went to the spam filter section of preferences and tried out several settings, to no avail. Either it lets everything in or it throws into the spam bin even my own emails, as well as the daily newsletters I get (of course, their addresses are in the Address Book).
I thought I was just unable to resolve a simple problem, so I went to the Apple store to get the help of a Genius. After 40 minutes of trying all the tricks in his bag the Genius gave up. Very much to my dissatisfaction.
The problem is that I either have to waste time to sort and throw the medical stuff away, or I waste it to find and fish legitimate emails out of the spam bin.
What is the next step in trying to resolve such Apple Mail problem?
Thanks a lot,
Luigi

First of all, know that you're talking to other customers here. If you want to talk to Verizon you need to call or chat with them.
Never, ever, click "unsubscribe" on a spam message. This confirms to the spmers that your email address is valid and it will be added to even more spam lists.
The only time to use unsubscribe is when the sender is obviously a valid company that you no longer want to receive emails from.
Verizon doesn't control spam or the presence or absence of unsubscribe options. Again, as noted above, you don't want to use unsubsrcibe on spam messages. It is really a "subscribe to more spam" button.
Verizon's email service is not the best in the market. Many people use gmail, outlook or other free email services that offer much better features and spam control. This also has the added benefit of de-coupling your email account from your ISP. That way, if you ever change ISPs you don't have to change email addresses.
Enjoy.

EPrint Counter-productive Spam Filter

Hello, I've been trying to set up our networked HP office printers throughout our office to recieve print orders from our database servers in arizona, unforunately the automated emails are filtered out as spam after the first 1 or 2 are sent. I'm assuming this is because the majority of the email content is the same with only a few fields changed.
Even programming in a 30 second delay between each email doesn't work, and the database server's email address is the only one on the whitelist able to print to these printers through eprint.
The spam filter is highly unessessary, greatly unwanted and increadibly frustraighting for us to do buisness. I need know how to turn it off.
I'd rather use built in functionality than have to set up a windows PC running all the time as a print server with google cloud print to handle our systems.
This question was solved.

I'm running into the exact same thing and it happens more often than not. I'm using a desktop computer to forward receipts or an airline reservation (both of which are going through a regsisterd email on my hpeprint account) and they always get rejected.
Unless you can write an update to the firmware or the webpage, this attractive feature is basically worthless. 80% of the items I try to send are being rejected.

POP3 Spam Filter

I currently use 'Mail' as my email client, which is set up to send/receive mail from my POP3 account set up through my ISP. Over the past few months I have started to receive a huge amount of junk mail, 80% of which falls into my trash can
My web hosting company have offered me a 'spam filter' which filters junk before it 'reaches my server'. This costs £44 per year per email address.
Is there a spam filter that can work with 'Mail' and my POP3 email account that costs less than £44?

pps: I'll phantasise along a wee bit more...
Domestic users:

2 - allow us to set up a replacement email account for you using a preferred alternative email address. We will contact all you address book contacts as part of our service to ensure that you new email address is updated in their address book. Cost is DEF
3 - do it yourself. The cost is free and this link will explain what you need to do

How can I delete a spam calendar invitation without replying?

OS X 10.9.4, Calendar version 7.0 (1841.1)
I have a spam calendar invitation. I am pretty sure it did not come through email, since I can't find any email message in inbox, junk, trash, or anywhere else, with any content that matches this spam event.
Besides, "Add new invitations to Calendar" has been set to "Never" all along.
How can I get rid of this invitation without sending a reply to the spammer?
One suggestion I read is to move it to a local "on my mac" calendar first. I don't have any such calendar, and can't see a way to create one!

You might try just selecting the event and pressing the delete key. You would normally get a prompt with the option to delete without notifying:

How do you set up your spam filter?

Greetings,
I have been fiddling with my spam filter for some time now and I still can't get it to work really good. I use the normal "Exempt if sender is in addressbook & Sender is in previous recipient but NOT "using my full name" because that seems to put everything in spam. I use the toggle "IF ALL CONDITIONS ARE MET". I also add the line "if message is junk mail" then move to trash.
The above does work but not real great.
Furthermore, I made up some more rules such as subject lines contain doctor etc and they work better.
Can someone post what they do in their basic junk mail filtering and custom rules to help me out? Also, when a piece of junk mail ends up by mistake in the junkmail box I click "not junkmail". This never returns the mail to the correct box and just sits there and I have to manually drag it. Is this correct?
//Cheers

Hello Julie.
Your junk filter appears to not be working properly. Try this first:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
2. Quit Mail, then open it again.
3. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk mail filtering, and configure it however you wish -- I recommend you to leave it at the default Automatic settings.
4. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

Verification of recvr file channel configuration without sending a message

Hi,
We need to test the configuration((such as directory, filename etc.,) of a receiver file channel. As we all know, in the case of sender channel, since it will keep polling the directory configured, if there is any incorrect directory, it will be indicated in the run time work bench, EVEN IF THE MESSAGE HAS NOt GONE THROUGH THE SENDER FILE CHANNEL. However in the case of receiver file channels, UNLESS THE MESSAGE GOES THROUGH THE RECEIVER FILE CHANNEL, we won't be able to identify the incorrect directory configuration.
Thus, please let me know as to how to identify the incorrect directory configuration in the case of RECEIVER FILE CHANNELS, without sending any message through the same.
I appreciate your early response.
Regards
Venkat

Hi,
AFAIK you can check whether the channel is Started/ Stopped (in RWB), check whether correct parameters are filled in the CC (by visual inspection)....but unless and until you test the scenario you may not know whether the CC is properly working or not....somethimes there is a case that you are asked to pay for each and every message that is sent using XI...is this your case?....if not then you can go ahead and test it end-to-end as Dharamveer said.....
If you get the solution (as you need) then dont forget to share with us
Regards,
Abhishek.

Email SPAM filter doesn't work

Is the webmail SPAM filter supposed to ... like ... prevent SPAM? I get the same SPAM every day. The SPAM button does nothing,

I have been marking about 30 per day as spam and forwarding all of them to the address that Verizon says is for undetected spam. The spam I get is all from the same outfit, I believe, based on the uniformity of how they package their notes and the fact that all of the links are spoofed. One would think that after 30 a day for several months, somebody in Verizon would wake up to the fact that Verizon users are getting killed with spam. One would think that if they truly cared about our email experience they would have an army of folks jumping on the spam we forward to them, aggressively pursuing it and working to reduce it. The fact is that they show no evidence of putting forth ANY effort at making our experience better.
The fact seems to be that they have little concern for their email users. The more of us that stick with Verizon for our home internet service, paying them their monthly fee, but jump to other, better email providers merely means less work for them. Not a bad model for making maximum profit, but a sucky way to treat customers.
My Verizon Wireless service has been fantastic. But my Verizon phone/internet service sucks. I'm just waiting until another provider is available in my area so I can leave Verizon forever. Lousy support, uncaring employees. I send in notes to them and get zero response. Look at the complaints in these forums that continue to rack up. Almost no response from the company. We're all left to try to deal with our problems ourselves with only minimal support. Probably some intern that spends his/her shift playing Angry Birds.
