Rules don't work/mail doesn't recognize rules

I have created a rule that says if sender not in my address book, not in previous recipients forward to junk. Nothing is forwarded to junk. I have removed message sorting.plist and renamed message sorting.plist backup to message sorting.plist. That did nothing to answer the problem. If rules are corrupted what can I do?

These settings are already included in the standard/default Junk Mail rule.
Did you add this to the existing Junk Mail rule at Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced or to Rules at Mail > Preferences > Rules?
Is Junk Mail set to Automatic?

HELP HELP

To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

Interface names get swapped, but udev rules don't work

I'm using the (apparently nightmarish) broadcom_wl module.
This:

and this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … es_varying
don't work. the 10-network.rules file I create is just completely ignored.
Any ideas?
Arch is my distro of choice for my desktop, but it is turning out to be an enormous PITA on my laptop.

hmmm,
NAME
The name, a network interface should be renamed to. Or as a
temporary workaraound, the name a device node should be named.
Usually the kernel provides the defined node name, or even creates
and removes the node before udev even receives any event. Changing
the node name from the kernel's default creates inconsistencies and
is not supported. If the kernel and NAME specify different names,
an error will be logged. Udev is only expected to handle device
node permissions and to create additional symlinks, not to change
kernel-provided device node names. Instead of renaming a device
node, SYMLINK should be used. Symlink names must never conflict
with device node names, it will result in unpredictable behavior.
try creating symlinks instead.

My camera doesn't work + it doesn't recognize external cameras. what's the problem here?

I set up a new windows 7 version for my laptop (probook 4510s) & the camera doesn't work + it doesn't recognize any external camera. So how to fix my camera & get it back to work?

What kind of external camera is this? I am assuming it is a USB camera? Make sure that you aren't using any USB hubs. Also try connecting it to another USB port. Have you installed the drivers from the camera manufacturer yet?
Thanks,

Exchange 2013: Inbox rules don't work on Journal Mailbox

Hello,
I've Exchange 2013 server with 2 databases:
* First database has all user mailboxes & is journaled to second database
* Second database has only 1 mailbox: Journal which collects all messages send / received from / to first database.
I made Inbox Rules on Journal Mailbox to delete unnecessary messages e.g. :
* HealthMailbox messages with Subject: Client submission probe
* [email protected] messages with Subject: Inbound proxy probe.
I noticed that these rules don't work. Why ?
best regards Janusz Such

Hi,
How do you create these Inbox Rules on journal Mailbox? Please share the detailed rule content here and we can check whether the rule was created correctly or not.
Instead of journaling all mailboxes residing on a mailbox database, I suggest we can configure journal rules to match your organization's needs by journaling individual recipients or members of distribution groups. For more information about
journal rules, please refer to:

Mail Rules don't work in Mavericks

It seems with the update to 10.9 Mavericks Mail rules no longer work. My email address was harvested by spamers and I have been using rules to weed throught the 100's of emails that I receive each day.
Russian Brides, Vigra, Learn a new language get moved into the trash when delievered. Now nothing happens.
I just tried to write a new rule and when I clicked the Prefs pannel I got the spinning cursor. After waiting for some time I did a force quit only to find that Mail was not responding.
Anyone have any ideas? I did not see any major changes with Mail and Mavericks so I'm not sure why it's been effected.

Mail doesn't recognize contacts from my address book

After installing snow leopard it seems that the Mail application doesn't recognize names that are in my address book. For instance when I start a new email, I will start typing a name in the "to" field, where it used to guess the contacts name it no longer does this. I have about 1800 names in my address book, do I have to introduce these to the mail application one by one in order for it to recognize them?
Thanks for any help you can give.

To be more clear (in hopes you can get it to work!) :
Under Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
1. Be sure to CHECK the box that says autocomplete addresses under the Addressing heading.
2. Quit Mail and restart.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest quitting Mail and trashing the Preference file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist). Then restart Mail and make sure the box is checked as above and restart Mail. Note that all preferences will be reset to the default and you may need to reconfigure Mail the way you like it. You can always drag the plist file back and restart Mail.app to restore your previous settings.

Mail doesn't recognize password after upgrading to Mountain Lion

After updgrading to Mountain Lion:
The gmail account in Mail began to ask for its password. it is preseent [in dots]; when i click to continue, dialog box indicates it doesn't recognize it.
i had time to to go over details in a gmail help page with details (port numbers and other things).
I decided to start over.
I deleted the account in Mail, system preferences, Accounts, began anew. Later I deleted inactive Gmail from  menu, Mail. Contacts & Calendars.
Reading some interventions in Communities mentioned the Key Chain. I had changed the Gmail password while using an older Mac Book. In June i purshased a MacBook Air and had Apple migrate my files from the old to the new mac. Mail had not password problems until I updated to Mountain Lion, which I thoroughly enjoy.
I'm at my wits end.
Throughout all this, Mail on my ipodtouch o.k.
I appreciate help.

Is it sleeping or shutting down?
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there.

Udev rules don't work

I am on my laptop, where I am trying to write some udev rules.
Firstly, as a test I tried to make a symlink when connecting my ext hd.
$ udevadm info /dev/sdb
E: ID_PART_TABLE_UUID=ea04843c-526e-45bf-9d45-beba1b180285
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/61-rules.rules
ENV{ID_PART_TABLE}=="ea04843c-526e-45bf-9d45-beba1b180285" NAME="lilalum"
And well, nothing happens (there is no lilalum in /dev) when I plug in my ext hd.
Secondly, my low bat rule doesn't work.
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lowbat.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{status}=="Discharging", ATTR{capacity}=="10", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl suspend"
SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{status}=="Discharging", ATTR{capacity}=="9", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl suspend"
SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ATTR{status}=="Discharging", ATTR{capacity}=="8", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl suspend"
It just doesn't do anything when the battery gets that low, and no the battery did not skip both 10, 9 and 8 percent.

Ah... thanks, it works now!
One more small issue... I tried writing a test to detect when the charger of my laptop gets plugged in or out, I put it in 61-rules.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", RUN+="/usr/bin/touch /home/ploppz/charger"
The battery does send signals to udev:
$ udevadm monitor
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

UDEV [950.333609] change /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0 (power_supply)
UDEV [950.334891] change /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0 (power_supply)
I also tried putting it in 99-lowbat.rules, stilll no luck. I'm also wondering whether udev reads all the rules every time an event happens, or if it caches them such that when I write a rule, I'll have to either wait a bit or do some action to update the rules cache?

RV180W - Access Rules Don't Work

Hi,
We have a RV180W and the Access Rules will not work. I'm trying to block HTTP and HTTPS services for a specific workstation on our LAN, but the access rules don't seem to be working. I've also tried blocking different services as well as ANY service, but it's not working. I've tried rebooting the router after adjusting settings; I've tried adjusting services from the Port Forwarding menu first; and a couple weeks ago, I upgraded the firmware to version 1.0.2.6 and repeated all the previous steps. Nothing seems to be working. So far the only solution I could come up with is to block the workstation's MAC address altogether, but I don't want that because I still need it to hit the internet for other services.
Thank you,
Ryan

These are the Access Rules I've tried (firmware v1.0.2.6):

Applescript Rules Don't Work in 10.8 Mail.app

Very simple thing Im trying to do here. Set up a rules to run a simple growl notification script when a new mail with a vertain subject arrives. This script works perfectly file in the editor and runs file outside of the mail.app.

Some Mail rules don't work properly

So I have had an email rule in Tiger for the last n months that matched account, To: Subject: and message content (account==, To:==, Subject: ==, Message Contents contains) and the rule processing is supposed to be Mark as read, move to folder x, change color to green, reply with message, stop processing rules.
What actually happens is move to folder x, mark as read, move to folder x, change color to green, and reply, but only with the original message. The "Reply with Text" is ignored and is not included.
Is this a known issue? I have deleted the rule and re-created it, with the same effect.

Rules don't work in email

Hello,
I have applied rules in Mail, to delete mail that contains certain words, but they only work when I manually click apply rules. Shouldn't it happen automatically? I want junk mail to be deleted as soon as it arrives. Don't want to view it at all. Just want it to go away. This is with AOL mail, no .me mail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
donald
