SENDER INTO JUNK MAIL

I have an Apple Mail Account and also a Yahoo account. Having problems with only one sender. His mail comes to me as either JUNK in Apple or as Spam in Yahoo. Has not always been such, only since I upgraded to Leopard. Would like to be able to resolve this issue!

On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to filter out Junk as you do on a Mac?

I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.

James Send to Junk Mail

Hello , i am using james 2.2.0 installed on a server with a online DNS , it recives mails properly , but when i try to send emails ( also when using Authenticated SMTP) , mail go to junk mails ( as hotmail and yahoo) , When i use Outlook express outside the server to send mail i get the following error :
The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[email protected]'.

hi
you have to change the config.xml to allow the server accept relay mails from your host machine from which you are sendign the mail ...
ie
change
<mailet match="RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1" class="ToProcessor">
<processor> relay-denied </processor>
<notice>550 - Requested action not taken: relaying denied</notice>
</mailet>
add few more ips (your network / subnet ip)
so that it accpets mails from that machine to be relayed ...
you can also change the smtp autheriZation part and do that ...
any one is enough ..
Regards

E-mail alarm goes into Junk Mail in Mail WHY??

Hi all
I have some events in iCal and set some to send me e-mail to my computer or if I'm away
I can still check (not Hotmail) but they always go into Junk folder n Mail why is this? My card is on Address Book and even though I click Not Junk it still goes into Junk folder. Is there something
that I'm doing wrong? HELP please
Thanks
Message was edited by: Serge Lebel

I don't know why this happens but this info may be relevant. I have recently got a new computer and set up my name in the address book without an accent on the letter 'e'. However, I noticed that iCal still sends messages using my name with an accent and there does not appear to be a way to change it. Thus the mail does not appear to come from 'me' in my address book.
Workaround: Just use the Mail rules and have any mail marked as 'Alarm' moved into your inbox.

Send junk mail to trash

I am using Apple's Mail. Does anyone know of a workflow that will automatically send my junk mail to the trash? I would also like to have the option to delete the trash periodically e.g. once a week.
TIA.
John

Does anyone know of a workflow that will automatically send my junk mail to the trash?
Mail>Preferences>JunkMail - 'Perform custom actions' then click Advanced to configure
In the Advanced panel, set the 'Perform following actions' to (Move Message) to (Trash)
I would also like to have the option to delete the trash periodically e.g. once a week.
Mail>Preferences>Accounts>MailboxBehaviors - in the Trash section, 'Permanently erase deleted messages when (one week old)'

Junk Mail Filtering - is it me or is it just rubbish?

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but didn't have the patience to wade through all the threads. Hopefully someone can help...
Frankly, I think the filtering on Mail (using 3.5 with OSX 10.5.6) is hopeless. Simply put, I've tried configuring it every which way in Preferences but the same issues persist. The main one being that when I configure to "exclude" those in my address book and/or previous recipients list from junk mail filtering ...people in my address book (SPECIFICALLY ME) still end up in the junk mail folder.
I have 2 accounts: Mail.com (POP3) and Gmail (IMAP) and I use an iPhone for mobile access. And I have a work email. All three are in my address card in Address Book.
Yet whenever I send myself (or anyone else) an email -- either from work or from my iPhone or even from within Mail -- it still ends up in the junk mail folder.
I think the problem is that Mail's filtering doesn't look at email addresses. It must look at how the name is set up??? i.e., LAST FIRST or FIRST LAST, etc. and when any of these don't match up it puts it into junk mail folder????
It just seems rubbish to me. Outlook had much more sophisticated filtering options\rule set up.
Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks.

If you have multiple email addresses in your card in Address Book, which messages are going to Junk, and what email address was used?
All three emails go to junk. My work to either personal address. Gmail to Mail and Mail to Gmail emails all go to junk
Have you tried setting up the Junk filter so that:
If any of the following conditions are met:
*Sender is not in my Address Book*
*Sender is not in my Previous Recipients*
Message is Junk Mail
Perform the following actions:
*Move message to mailbox: (Junk mailbox On My Mac)*
Yep. Tried that. Still didn't work. Even tried ticking "not junk" on each of the several tests I've sent myself -- and then re-sent more tests, which still ended up in junk????
As I said, I've tried virtually every possible configuration of boxes ticked and unticked and nothing...
My latest setting (using your advanced rules above) were:
Enable Junk Mail - ticked
When Junk Mail arrives - 'perform custom actions'
Msgs Exempt - In address book and previous recipients both ticked. Use my full name unticked
Trust ISP headers - unticked
Filter before applying rules - have tried this both ticked and unticked... same result
Thanks,
The Smoking Man
PS - Should add that when others send me email to the Gmail or Mail accounts they properly go to inbox, not junk. It's just when I send myself something (anything, really)...

Junk mail filter doesn't work all the time

Why doesn't the Junk mail filter work all the time? I click on mail like from Best Buy or Omni Hotels to go into junk mail but hardly any of their mail goes into Junk. Other sites go directly to Junk. If I click on a Best Buy mail to indicate it's Junk, shouldn't that work 100% of the time forever and ever?

The Junk filter is based on an analysis of the content of the message. It ignores the sender. (Filtering based on the sender is an ineffective way of dealing with true spam, since spammers use constantly-changing spoofed addresses.)
If you don't want mail from a legitimate sender like Best Buy, unsubscribe from their ads. If that doesn't work, make a Rule to delete or move the messages.

Junk Mail AppleScripts

I've received email messages from others where my email address wasn't in their address book--so my message was defined as spam.
The message asked me to call (no number, meaning I needed to know the recepient) to have my email address added to their address book.
Is there an AppleScript that will automatically send this form email to every spam email I get...and then delete the spam email?
I'm already forwarding it all to a Junk Mail folder, but it's starting to get absurd with hundreds of spam emails daily.

Thanks for the response, but I've already set up a Junk Mail folder and have junk mail going into it.
I don't want to deal with it any more, but I don't want to miss those few that slip through into Junk Mail that shouldn't because they have a new email or whatever.
To be more specific, this is what I'd like to have happen:
1. An incoming email message is catagorized as Junk through the Junk Mail filter.
2. A form reply is generated that says, "I've been getting hundreds of spam emails lately, so I've had to bounce them back. If this message comes to you and you legitimately need to contact me, please call me to put your email address into my address book. Sorry for the inconvenience."
3. The Junk message is deleted...not put into a Junk folder...deleted automatically.
Is there an AppleScript that will do this for me?
Thanks!

Is Mail really "Learning" my junk mail?

I've read various forum threads about training Mail. I might not be doing it right, but I mark spam messages as Junk, and they go to the junk box. It seems I get repeats though, from the same sender, or same subject. Which tells me, it's not doing anything, or, i don't have it set up right. I get a ton of spam though, and it drives me nuts. I switched to Thunderbird on a PC for a couple months, and surprisingly, didn't get but one a day. I finally received my new Macintosh, and really want to use Mail, but all of these spams just drive me crazy.
Here's what I've done so far:
- We use Postini on our server. All levels are set as high as can go.
- I started creating "rules" for every single spam that came in, but I couldn't keep up. I must have 50 of them created, and I still get 30-50 spams a day.
- Now, I mark them all as "Junk" but it still doesn't deter any of these spams. Fortunately, some of the spam emails do go directly into Junk mail, but not as many as I wish did.
I see there are paid add-ons you can use for Mail. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a way using Mail, to at least cut down on all of these spams. If Thunderbird can do it for free, I'd bet there's a way to do it in Mac Mail.. I'm probably just not doing something right. Any ideas would help. Thanks!

Hi grannysmith.nc,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing with regard to junk mail in Mail under Yosemite. I'm unclear if it is not marking junk mail at all, or if it is marking it but simply not moving it to the Junk mail folder. If it is the latter (not moving), it may be as simple as changing the settings as outlined in the following article under Change the junk mail filter:
Mail (Yosemite): Reduce junk mail in your inbox
If Mail isn't recognizing junk mail at all, you might find these articles more useful:
Mail (Yosemite): If junk mail filters aren’t working correctly
Mail (Yosemite): Junk Mail Advanced settings

Various E Mail problems: Junk Mail, Log Off, etc

I am having various and frustrating problems that are intermittant.
I have two incoming e mail accounts, one is IMAP and one is POP.
1. Junk Mail. After having reset my junk mail settings as advised on this site just a few days ago, I am continuing to experience this problem. Messages that the systems "knows" is Junk Mail do NOT go to Junk Mail folder, but to the regular In box. It knows they are Junk Mail because the Tab for changing the message at top of screen says "Not Junk", which means it thinks it is JUNK. They why won't it go into Junk Mail folder?
2. When I try to delete these messages one by one in In box, the computer "freezes" and takes forever to delete the messages. The In box counter on left hand side of the screen does not decrease as I delete messages, but takes a long time (minutes) to catch up with the deletions.
3. When receiving certain e mail from specific recipients, the system intermittantly says "message not dowloaded from server, you need to take this account on line". Well. it IS online! Again, this does not happen all the time, but often enough and from the same e mail recipients) that it is very frustrating.
4. Oftentimes when I try to shut down, I get the dreaded spinning color wheel, only to have to force quit. This is a lengthy process, and then I lose all of the deletions that I have tried to make to my Inbox.
Are all of these problems somehow related? Cumulatively, they are very frustrating. I never had these kinds of issues with Windows Mail apps. Uuughh!
Thanks for reading and any assistance.

There appears to be a problem with the index.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Move the “IMAP-” account folder to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folder, that accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring it back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

If the problem persists, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Junk settings, particularly for the IMAP account?
Also, what have you done to “reset [your] junk mail settings as advised on this site”? This is what I’d suggest:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).
4. Open Window > Previous Recipients and get rid of any addresses that you don’t want Mail to treat as legit.

How can i get my junk mail on my ipad?

How can i get my junk mail on my ipad ? I only receive regulare e-mail on my ipad. Offten regular mail is placed into junk mail.

With an IMAP account along with storing the account's junk mailbox on the server with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPad's Mail app along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. You will also be able to transfer a legit message from the account's junk mailbox to the account's Inbox mailbox.
None of this is possible with a POP account.

Junk mail in Apple Mail still put into Inbox

Somehow, I got onto the lists of several email senders with whose politics I completely disagree. Although I have consistently sent them to the Junk folder in Apple Mail, any new ones go right to my Inbox. Why are they not being filtered and put automatically into the Junk folder? Many legitimate messages are put there in error.
I've set at least a couple of the senders to "Bounce" by marking messages from those senders in my Junk folder as ones that I want bounced, but that just gets me a bunch of messages saying that delivery failed. So now, instead of just sending all the awful political messages I get to Junk and deleting them, I am getting notifications of each bounced message.
All I want is either for the hateful messages to be put into Junk or for them to stop altogether. I haven't unsubcribed because I've read that all that does is to let the senders know that I actually exist. Any advice? I won't tell you all the kind of messages I'm getting, because some among you may agree with the senders' politics and point of view. That is your right, but since I don't share those views, I'd like to let the senders send their mail only to you. Thank you, everyone. I hope to get an answer or answers to my question.

Thank you, and I won't bounce any more messages. I didn't give any of the groups my email address, though. All I can think of that my cursor (which is kind of twitchy) accidentally took me to a Website for one of the groups (possibly, it was in the margin of a Facebook list). I got out of the Website without clicking on anything, but somehow, even having been on that page for a second or two encouraged that group to think that I'd receive their mail and to give my address to other groups of the same ilk. I've no idea how they got my address.
I am pretty much resigned now that I'll continue to get messages from groups like that (there seem to be more and more, so they must be sharing the address). What I can't understand is why the messages aren't being sent directly to Junk. Many legitimate messages end up there, and I have to mark them "Not junk" and transfer them to my inbox. Why wouldn't mail that I've consistently marked as junk not be sent there? Is there something I can do to alert the Apple Mail software that I want that? (It hasn't entirely caught on with some of the legit mail I get, but I think it's getting a little better.)
Thanks again for your message. At least, I've learned to ask Mail to bounce messages. I read, in the Help section on unwanted messages that that was the thing to do, but I won't do it, anymore.
Best,
Jenny

Thunderbird fails to send email when "Scan email for junk mail" option is checked in Server Admin

I have 2 clients that need to send mail through my server, one Mac and one Windows. The Mac uses apple mail and the Windows machine uses Thunderbird.
Apple Mail will send fine, it is set up for "Use Default ports 25, 465, 587" and "Use SSL" and "Authentication: MD5 Challenge-response".
Thunderbird refuses to send and I don't even see any errors showing up in the Console on the OS X server under smtpd entries.
If I uncheck the "Scan email for junk mail" option on the server, then Thunderbird will send fine.
Thunderbird is set up as: "smtp port 587 (default)" "connection security: STARTTLS" "Authentication method: Encrypted Password"
May or may not be relevant: I use virtual domains as well as aliases.
Server: Mac OS X Server version 10.5.8

Solved it, looks like maybe the smtpd settings for sasl authentication may not have been correct. I followed everything in http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/38/41/ the "Frontline Spam Defense for OS X server" guide and now can send mail just fine from Thunderbird Winodws and from Apple Mail.

Mail going into junk folder that's not junk

I have tons of emails suddenly going into my junk folder, but they are not even being marked as junk email. These are emails that used to always come in fine. It's happening to all my accounts, so I don't think it's to do with the provider, especially since one is my Mac account. Any idea what's going on?

Mail>Preferences>Junk Mail
Uncheck the 2 boxes marked below.

Why isn't junk mail going into its folder
