RE: Blocking an incoming email

Is there a way to block someone in particular from sending you emails & I'm not talking about junk mailers or spam. I need to block out one person in particular
Thanx

The only way to truly block someone or an email address from sending you mail is at the incoming mail server level for the account by your ISP or email account provider.
If this person is threatening or harassing you, this should be easy for your ISP or email account provider for the account to accommodate but if for no other reason besides personal that you no longer want to receive email from this person, I doubt your ISP or email account provider will be very helpful in this situation.

Block Receving Incoming Emails a Sender

How can I block someone from sending me emails to my mac.com address ?

You can't. You could set up a rule to automatically send messages from that person to the trash (see Mail's help on rules), but you can't stop it any more than you can stop someone from sending you letters via snail mail.

Mail: how does one block consistently annoying incoming emails from someone?

Hello, ... I would like to put a simple block on incoming emails from a person on my iMac mail. Can anybody give me a suggestion on how to do this? It would even be a bonus if the person that keeps sending me emails is given a message something to the effect "your sent email is being blocked by the recipient". Thanks for helping me on this, ...

Define them as Junk and set your preferences to delete them without opening.

Blocking incoming email

How do I block incoming email from someone I do not wish to continue receiving emails from, I am using my home computer, not a cell phone.

From your Inbox page, go to Preferences>>>>>>Email>>>>>>Email Filters. There you can set up a filter to either re-direct incoming email or just discard it so you never see it.

Block Incoming Emails

Hello,
I have a solaris 10 machine running Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-8.01 . I'm using this server only to send email , not to receive. I have another server for Incoming emails.
I Want to block incoming emails from outside domains on the SMTP out server, thus I added "tcp_local|*|tcp_intranet|* $N$D30|you$ are$ not$ allowed" under "ORIG_SEND_ACCESS" mapping table, then restarted messaging service.
This rule did not work for unknown reasons, I can keep sending emails from outside IPs or domains to inside users using the SMTP out server.
Note that there's a similar rule to stop relaying tcp_local - tcp_local and it is working perfectly.
Any help is appreciated.

Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts?

Please help!!To whom it may concernDear Madam/Sir who works for Skype & Microsoft Dear all who can really help, Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts? or Do you have any solution to solve my problem from begin to now in present time? Even though, I set the Privacy settings: - Allow calls from... "people in my Contact list only"- Automatically received video and share screens with "people in my Contact list only"- Allow IMs from "people in my Contact list only" I still received unknow users sent me messages in every day, contact requests etc. And they're all clearly spammings and identity thefts. I only wanna contact with my family and my freinds here with Skype via my Windows device and my mobile phone (w/Android OS). And this is the only way to contact with them, because they could use Skype only in overseas. BUT I don't need new friend from other unknow Skype member. I keep blocked all unknow spammers in every day. However in this morning, I feel so scared with Skype on my mobile, I looked at my mobile Skype, I saw it automatically showed me the list of all blocked members. BUT they were all unblocked (contact unblocked) by my mobile (Android version) Skype itself automatically, and listed them one by one on the screen, and about 30 seconds later, they all were disappeared suddenly. I don't know what do to now, is it indicating my account was hacked?And how could I found out all those members again and block them again and delete all of them for ever? I appreciate if you would improve the privacy protection. Thank you very very very much.

Hrm... that may be true and this may be a function of the phone email client that Apple just doesn't do.
No, I can easily MANUALLY delete the messages. I would prefer if I didn't have to do it twice, tho. Once on the mail server and once on the phone.
What I think the phone needs to do is, when it checks the POP, anything NOT there should be removed locally. I think you are correct on POP; the phone will poll the mx (mail exchanger) and the mx will pass off the messages to the phone. The phone then keeps ALL of that unitl you manually delete it.
If, say, I remove a message from the mx, I would like the phone, when next polls, to see that that particular message isn't on the server anymore and remove it locally.
Perhaps it's just me but if I delete the message on the mx itself, via my ISP's webmail interface, I really don't want to have to remove it again from my phone.
thxs!

How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses

How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses??
TIA
C

Most email clients have a provision to create a 'rule'. The rule examines the email as it is received. In generally you can search for specifically senders, recipients,subjects, or specific content words in the body. Based upon the findings of the rule, you can do something with the email (such as end it directly to the Trash).
For example if you know where all of valid you emails come from, you can create a rule that checks the from field for an acceptable sender and sends those email's that to the inbox, while sending all emails from other senders to the trash or spam folder
Keeping out foreign language emails is often difficult because because often it is difficult to come up with a rule that will catch them on the basis of language they are written in.
There are also commercial products that can scan incoming email and 'score' the email based upon content, and you decide at what 'score' you want the mail sent straight to the trash or spam folder. Verizon's spam filter does this based upon Verizon's scoring system, and actually does catch a lot of spam. It also occaisonally catches things that are not spam however....
Hope that is helpful

Incoming email fonts change in Windows 8.1 LIve Mail

Some, but not all incoming email fonts change to almost unreadable block fonts when arriving at Windows Live Mail. It seems to be happening on forwarded items only. Suggestions on how to stop this, or change fonts when it occurs would be most welcome.
On same general subject, is it possible to change size of incoming email fonts in Windows 8.1?

John, welcome to the forum.
Open Windows Live Mail. Click on the blue "File" in the upper left corner. Then, Options / Mail / Read / Fonts (lower middle of page) / Font size. There you can change the size of the font. I believe that it should come set to "Medium". You can change it by clicking on the drop-down menu.

How do I disable responding to an 'X-Confirm-Reading-To" header in incoming email?

I am receiving emails with 'X-Confirm-Reading-To:' and 'Notice-Requested-Upon-Delivery-To:' headers. I consider the automatic response to these headers a privacy violation. How can I disable all such "return receipt request" functions?

ok the attached base64text file, which by the way is the message, your provider or your SPAM tool flagged it as spam. With the following report
''X-Ham-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "harvey.tchmachines.com", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email. If you have any questions, see
root\@localhost for details.''
The original html, which incidentally simply says "Whats Up" contains a link to this image http://mxsvr.net/we6xgr4zsjbf/signature.gif. The we6xgr4zsjbf is probably a bas64 representation of your email address, or some other value that he has linked to your email address.
Interestingly when I tried to go to that internet address, my anti virus blocked the attempt with the following message.
'''ESET NOD32 Antivirus - Alert

Blocking an unwanted email address

does anyone know if you can specifically block someone's email address so they know you have blocked them? I realize that the "bounce" allows you to, but I would like to do it permanently, or at least until I choose otherwise. Thanks.

MKurpier:
Although Apple Mail does not allow you to block senders, you can log into your ISP's webmail account and you can often do it there. That is actually the portal for incoming mail. However, it can be an exercise in frustration, as they often change their address sufficiently to get by the blocking software. But if you make a point of doing it regularly you are able to eliminate a few over time. I have one email address where this is a constant problem, while other addresses with the same provider get no junkmail at all. I may just end up changing that email address.

Preventing incoming emails to userid.postoffice@domain

We're receiving a lot of spam to userid.postoffice.domain@domain email
addresses and nothing genuine comes to these versions of addresses.
I've unchecked userid.postoffice@internet_domain_name in GW System
Operations > Internet Addressing. When that didn't work I checked and then
tried overriding/disabling the Internet Addressing settings at the domain,
PO and user level but they're still coming through to those addresses.
Is it possible to block incoming email to those types of addresses?
Thanks for any assistance.
Steve
Is it pos

Try unloading and loading the GWIA agent after the changes.

Stopping incoming emails to my Alternate Apple ID

I have looked at existing threads that seem to suggest that while I can change my Apple ID & Primary Email Address there is no way to change / delete my Alternate Apple ID. There also seems to be no way of stopping incoming emails to this Alternate Apple ID arriving on my iphone. However, I am constantly getting spam to my @me.com address. Is there any way to delete/diable/block this address and theerby stop the relentless spam? Any help much appreciated. mark

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Generally speaking, apple do not use your alternate email address. However for obvious reasons, you should make sure that you can receive mail at this address.

Block all incoming traffic and Active FTP

Will setting the firewall to Block all incoming traffic break Active FTP Connections?
The firewall will normally dynamically create exceptions for the Connection using the Application Layer Gateway, but will the profile override these?

Hi TribleTrouble,
Do you have any issue about FTP active mode?
If the clients are part of your domain, push the FTP firewall rules via GPO to your clients allowing FTP inbound sockets
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="File Transfer Program" protocol=TCP profile=domain Program=C:\Windows\System32\ftp.exe dir=in action=allow
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="File Transfer Program" protocol=UDP profile=domain Program=C:\Windows\System32\ftp.exe dir=in action=allow
For Windows 7, the entire networking stack was rewritten and several security measures were taken to further secure Windows.

Dreamhost blocking SMTP outgoing email sent via MiFi 4510L hotspot

I've been using a MiFi 4510L as my only internet connection for about a year, and have been happy with it to date. Dreamhost.com is my email host (and web domain host).
I haven't been using the MiFi for a few days. Today I was unable to send any messages via the MiFi through Dreamhost's SMTP (outgoing email) server. This happens both when sending from my laptop's email client (Apple Mail) and also from my iPhone when WiFi (i.e. the Verizon MiFi connection) is enabled. It's not a mailserver authentication issue -- incoming email works, Dreamhost webmail send and receive works, and I can send from the (AT&T) iPhone with WiFi turned off (i.e. through AT&T's cellular network). I contacted Dreamhost support, who said:
- - - - - (begin Dreamhost response) - - - - -
DreamHost now performs spamhaus RBL look ups when using an smtp client such as Apple mail. This is to prevent spam from leaving our network. The issues you are describing is what happens when you attempt to send email from an internet service provider (ISP) that is on the spamhaus blocking list. Switching from wifi to 3g will change that IP address that we look up prior to sending the email. For the device that is blocked we can only recommend that you contact the ISP and ask them to either give you a different IP address or work to get their IP's delisted.
- - - - - (end Dreamhost response) - - - - -
I take this to mean that Verizon 4G LTE IP addresses have somehow been added to Spamhaus's database. Has anyone experienced this issue with sending email through a Verizon device using Dreamhost SMTP? What are my options?
Message was edited by: John Ciccarelli (New information: Dreamhost suggested using WhatIsMyIP.com to determine my IP address. It returned 166.250.33.162 and sure enough Spamhaus has that in its PBL and XBL lists. However, I'm using Authenticated SMTP (port 587), not the unauthenticated port 25. Are Verizon servers somehow listed on Spamhaus?)
Message was edited by: John Ciccarelli
More research: I repeatedly shut down and powered up the MiFi. Each time up, WhatIsMyIP.com returns a slightly different IP: 166.250.33.162, 166.250.32.186, 166.250.34.151, etc. Lookup shows these IPs are associated with vzwdomain.com or myvzw.com, not surprisingly. So presumably the MiFi gets mapped to a different actual IP each time it connects. The first of these 3 IPs showed up in Spamhaus's PBL and XBL lists; the other two just in the PBL list. Perhaps if I keep powering off/on it'll eventually connect via an IP that isn't on Spamhaus's list.

Are you using Mail app? You need to make sure the Outgoing Mail Server settings are exactly how your ISP recommends. So give them a call.

Almost all incoming emails going to junk folder

I've been using Thunderbird for a few months now with very few glitches. However, suddenly, it is putting almost all my incoming emails into the junk folder. I believe my junk settings are appropriately set. I have attached a screen shot of them. What I am doing wrong?

Just to verify that its TB and not the server that moves the mail into junk, change destination of your junk to a local junk-folder.
Then also disable adaptive junk mail control temporarily. To see if this is causing it.
