Question re: spam mail
I receive 5-10 spam mails per day and, although they go into my junk mail folder, I don't like receiving them. I had a yahoo email account and had to delete it b/c of all the spam mail. I typically add the sender and domain to my block sender list, then delete the email. Is there any way I can prevent this spam from coming in at all? I was hoping there was a better filter on the verizon website.
Any advice???
Thanks

You can set your spam detector to delete messages rather than save them in the spam folder. If you have a legitimate message filtered by accident though, there won't be a way to recover it.

hi I want to change your e-secret questions because I forgot the answers I have tried sending reset questions on my mail and I have not received mail
New mail that I want is [email protected]
Alternative to the Old oneFrom King Penguin
If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox) -
I have an old hotmail account and I hadn't used it for a long time, until today. I wasn't careful with that account at all. I remember giving to anywhere, even dangerous web sites and stuff. I always got spam mail. Today I needed that account and used it on my iPhone. When I signed it, it said "downloading" and then stopped. There were still spam mails there, and some mails that carry links to bad web sites. I didn't open any of them, I just deleted all of them, did what I needed to, and then logged out. Now, as my account was infected, and as there's such a thing as "sandbox" on iOS, will the data of my infected account saved in the mail app? What can I do to delete that data? Because I don't want my iPhone to be infected.
As long as your phone is not jailbroken, there is no way it can get infected. Just delete the emails in question. That's all you have to do.

Since upgrading to OS X version 10.9 (Mavericks). I have been receiving more Spam Mail which looks as if I've sent a Messages to Myself. How can I prevent this embarrassing mail reaching me?
in Safari, certain
characters like hyphens and apostrophes appear as
black diamonds with question marks.
This has nothing to do with fonts. It usually happens when your encoding is set wrong for a specific page. Panther Safari did not show these diamonds, but just displayed nothing, so people get the impression something has changed, but it really hasn't.
In Safari, I'm using Unicode (UTF-8) as my default
encoding. Is this setting correct?
Not if you keep running into pages with black diamonds. It would be better to set your default to Western ISO Latin 1. The black diamonds will probably go away. -

How can I set up rules to get spam emails sent straight to my trash when I am using an iPhone4S or iPad3? Have managed to do this on my iMac but can't see a way to do it on the other devices. Getting about 50 a day recently using my email address but not my name in the messages - no idea why this has started but it is annoying!!
You cannot set rules on the iPad or the iPhone for mail. The only thing that you can do is to filter spam mail in your webmail settings using a web browser. The rules that set up in the mail app on the Mac do not sync across devices, those are rules for inside the mail client itself on the Mac.

Blackberry's automatic delivery notification encourages spam mail.
To anyone who is listening, please either disable the Blackberry's automatic delivery notification, or give us Blackberry users the option to change it to manual delivery notification requiring our approval before delivery notification is sent.
Spammers harvest the email addresses and the automatic delivery notification tells them that they sent spam to a good/valid address.
My wife and I both noticed that since we started using the Blackberry, the number of spam mail has progressively increased. Today, I discovered why. I noticed in the sent mail log, that the Blackberry is sending out delivery notification automatically each time an email is opened/read. A lot of times, I can't figure out if something is junk until I open up the email. That's when the Blackberry sends delivery notification. Sure, the spammers request delivery notification, that's how they can confirm whether their junk mail reached the intended party. And thus, they harvested a valid email address that they use for the next spam mail. The Blackberry makes it too easy for the spammer to validate a good delivery email address, and for mail that's being forwarded from a "disposable address" to my real address, now the spammers get to harvest my real email address when the Blackberry includes it in their delivery notification.
So please, please disable the automatic delivery notification. Let me decide who I will send delivery notification.
Thank you in advance!ladyv114 wrote:

On BIS, I don't think there is a way; on BES your BES Admin can do this.
Please also read my post above.

I forgot the security question and e-mail backup Please help
If you don't know your rescue email address (you won't be able to view/change/add a rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to view/change/add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix
Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
That did not happen before.
It happened only on certain pages with Safari, like the google news feed which did not display pix.
However, this new mail problem is really disturbing.
I checked Little Snitch and port 80 is open.
I checked java pref.
I am at a loss.
PLEASE HELP!Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
That indicates that your Mail preferences are setup to not display remote images in email messages. You should check Mail->Preferences->Viewing and make surre the box to 'Display remote images in HTML messages' is checked.
I checked java pref.
Java has nothing to do with Mail, or displaying images in it or any browser. -
Spam mails are not deleted from the spam folder
In the account settings, I have set the spam mail to be automatically deleted after one day. In spite of that, spam mail in the spam folder is not automatically deleted at any time, even if I restart Thunderbird. In the end, I always have to clean the spam folder manually.
Thanks for your quick answers!
I realized that I didn't select the option 'enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account', but, even selecting it, the junk mails are not automatically cleaned. I tried restarting Thunderbird, restarting the computer, and even manually changing the date and restarting Thunderbird, but nothing worked.
I checked the entries in the advanced configuration, and they are all correct.
My aim, as it was with the other problem I posted, is just to help to improve the development of Thunderbird by pointing the bugs. But they are actually really minor issues and not a real problem for me. So don't worry if the problem is not finally solved.
And thanks again! -
I am receiving returne postmaster e-mails saying e-mails were not deliverable, and some say they were blocked as being spam mail because they were sent to U.S. military addresses. The e-mails are coming from an outside source and are not being sent directly from my e-mail, but whoever is doing it is putty my address in as the sender. How do I stop this?
at this point the best you could do would be to delete your email account, or ignore the emails

HT204053 I need to change my email account, i get alot of spam mail
I get a lot of spam mail, what should I do?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID) -
How to tag spam mails in iron port and foreword to junk folder?
How to tag spam mails in iron port and foreword to junk folder?
As Dave has suggested.
Positively identified spam recommended actions would be to Drop it -- if you would like to review these emails and manually remove it, then send it to the spam quarantine
This can be changed under the GUI > Mail Policies > Click on Incoming or Outgoing mail Policies and edit the anti-spam settings per policy if needed.
Ideally suspected spam to be sent to the quarantine for further review.
If you do not wish to use a quarantine or drop the email, you can prepend the email as Dave also suggested and send it to the end recipient under [Suspected Spam] <Subject> for the end user to determine it.
However the IronPort will not make specific rules to deliver it to the MUA's Junk mail folder.
This type of setup is normally down to each specific end user to work with on their own MUA (outlook, lotus, safari etc.)
I hope this helps.
Regards,

Call Apple for support. They have account security who can reset those security questions for you if you can verify the account over the phone... Once your security questions are reset you can go to appleid.apple.com and manage your account there! good luck!

Lot of SPAM mails in queue - Warnings from ISP
Hi Jay,Shane and ALL,
We are running messaging on Solaris 10 with below version.
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-7.05 (built Sep 5 2006)
libimta.so 6.2-7.05 (built 12:18:44, Sep 5 2006)
Insured that no entries added to mappings (except localhost) and only "authenticated SMTP" allowed.
We implemented Separate AV/anti-spam box with aliasdetour and conversion channel which is working fine.
we could achieve >95% spam control but recently we started receiving warnings from ISP that SPAM being sent out from our mail server.

Wondering how these mails exist in tcp_local queue wherein none of IPs (or users) allowed to relay through our servers.
Pl help me resolve this issue.
TIA
PrvnThanks Shane.
Pl find my below answers:
Hi,
You need to track down the source of the emails by
locating the relevant mail.log lines that correspond
to the email delivery attempt. This will at least
tell you how they are getting in (whether the email
is coming in via the
tcp_local/tcp_auth/tcp_submit/tcp_intranet channel
etc.).07-Sep-2007 19:13:44.02 tcp_auth tcp_local EA 3 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] [email protected] User ([210.70.82.129])
08-Sep-2007 16:21:44.38 tcp_auth tcp_local EA 1 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] [email protected] User ([203.144.16.210])
>
From there you can determine (if you have enough
logging enabled such as LOG_USERNAME=1,
LOG_CONNECTION=1, LOG_MESSAGE_ID=1) why they emails
are being allowed through... After enabling the three parameters (option.dat and did cnbuild/restart),
i noticed lot of such entries in mail.log_current:
10-Sep-2007 00:04:28.59 tcp_local Q 2 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] [email protected] <0JO400CPG2A15F00@webmail.<our-domain>.com> *admin@<our-domain>.com mailin.binghamton.edu dns;mailin.binghamton.edu (TCP|192.168.1.41|34548|128.226.7.23|25) (mail2.binghamton.edu ESMTP [7e5e6797de0c707331914caad1b54f2f]) smtp;450 <[email protected]>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found [email protected]: smtp;450 <alert@bancamerica.
