Sent from iPhoney - Spam?

A message was sent to one of my contacts that I didn't send.
It had some bogus subject and didn't have any text besides the subject but it was signed:
Sent from Kris' iPhoney
One of the strange things about this is that it was sent from my gmail account which does not include that auto-signature. I am using the iMailG app but haven't had any other problems and dont' know if it's the app or my gmail account.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Seems like a spammer thing but also worried my account might've been hacked.
Cheers,
Kris

Appreciate the suggestion and I have changed it but have you personally heard of this specific issue?
Is there something up with this 'iPhoney' thing?

  • Email sent from blackberry on AT&T (BIS setup) are being flagged as spam

    I am not sure why this only occurs on at&t but email sent from those blackberries on are being marked as spam by our spam filter. The do not seem to pass the AWL spam test. Email sent from verizon, telus, and t-mobile get flagged for AWL and do not get marked as spam.
    Any ideas on how to fix?
    example:
    Sent from t-mobile:
    X-Spam-Status: No, hits=1.979 tagged_above=-999 required=3 tests=AWL, BAYES_00, FORGEDRCVDHELO, MIMEBASE64BLANKS, MIMEBASE64_NONAME, MIMEBASE64TEXT, PRIORITYNONAME
    Sent from at&t:
    X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=3.248 tagged_above=-999 required=3 tests=BAYES_00, FORGEDRCVDHELO, MIMEBASE64BLANKS, MIMEBASE64_NONAME, MIMEBASE64TEXT, PRIORITYNONAME

    Maybe the sender e-mail address is modified by AT&T during the mail submission. Otherwise try sending some test message from the mail client to the AT&T mail account and vice versa. But usually one message should be sufficient to learn.
    You also have set a low value for spam marking. It is recommended to set it to five. Should you get through too many spam mails, you can train the spam filter (bayes in fact) and also adjust some scores to match your needs.

  • Stop spams "sent from" my own email address

    Hello guys,
    I really need you help with stoping spams sent from my own email address. First, I thought my account had been hacked, then I quickly realized it was just a modified header after a little research online. But still, it doesn't mean there is nothing to worry about. I use mountain lion for home and icloud as my primary email account (which was spamed). I sniffed around apple mail settings for 20 mins- specially under "junk mail" and "rules"- but I couldn't find a way to stop these crazy spams without listing my own email account as junk. I don't want to list mylist on junk list, because it will make me such a loser... Somebody please help me to configure my apple mail so it will seperate spams from the emails I send to myself. Is it even possible, or do I need to use alternatives? Please help. Thank you in advance.

    Thank you, Barney. I uploaded a screenshot. I don't know how to show names in the header. The name spammed by the junk mail is "katie", while my own name is "XX song". But the address is same for the different sender names. How is it possible? Is there a way to filter them by sender names, but not the email address?

  • More Spam emails being sent from My Account again?

    Despite changing my password and security several times from a clean PC, delteing all emails from my BT account regularly including sent items and spam folders and trash folders.  
    At least a dozen or more friends and collages are still getting regular spam emails from my account.   I do not store any contacts in the webbased interface and don't even use the account these days so I "presume" that there is nothing I can do my end to stop theses emails being sent out from "somebody else".
    Any suggestions welcome.

    (One of many reasons I left BT).

    Your account was probably hacked sometime back along with many others and your contact list will have been harvested by spammers. The list is now available to the spammers to use at any time they wish.
    When they send spam to your contacts they are not sending them from your email account but rather they have spoofed your email address to make it appear it is from your account so that it fools your contacts into opening the spam.
    What you need to do is create a new email address, use one of your sub-accounts and then tell all your contacts that your "old" email address has been compromised and that they should treat any emails from it as spam and  delete them without opening them.
    Once you have done that, if you still have a BT account, you can then change your "New" email address to become your BTID and primary email account by logging into your MyBT and going to My Profie and changing the contact email address and username to your "new" email address.
    See link about spoofed emails addresses.

  • Spam being sent from my Mail account...

    I am receiving e-mails in my Mail account saying that certain messages can not be sent and the message gives the reason but they are being sent by other names, not my own, using my e-mail address. I went and changed my password in icloud.com but the very next day, the same thing happened. How can I get this to stop. Messages being sent from my e-mail account by others that are not me?

    Yes, I read in another post that if it was actually sent from my account, I would see the e-mails in my Sent folder which I do not and that someone just forged where the e-mails were sent from and there is nothing that can be done about that except to bacically ignore them. There are not too many of them anyways.
    Thank you for your answer.

  • Spam emails sent from my address book

    I am being told by people in my address book that they are receiving emails that look as if they're from me but I've never sent them. All of the emails encourage the recipient to click on a link.  The emails also have a signature that it was sent from Verizon Mobile.  How can I stop this?

    Change you password and secret question and run a virus scan.

  • Emails are not being received if sent from iPhone or iPad, but MBA OK

    I've used my iPhone and iPad a lot to send messages to various email addresses at a specific company.  They've always gone through without problem, but suddenly they're not coming through.  They aren't in the SPAM folder and haven't been quarantined either.  Messages sent from my MacBook Air go through successfully.
    It doesn't matter which email account I send the message through, what the content is, or who I send it to.  No one else is having problems sending emails from their iPhones or iPads.
    Any help is appreciated.  Thank you! 

    No longer a problem.  The emails I sent finally showed up. 

  • Any way to log email sent from websites?

    In pouring over my logs, I am trying to figure out if email that is outgoing is logged.  It doesn't look like it.  Specifically, I see the clients i expect and I see attempts to login -- most using plaintext which is turned off.
    I don't see where email that comes from websites is logged, though.  Is it already there and I don't see it?
    I have wordpress installed and all is up to date.  I know it can send email because I get notices from a security scanner over email.  What I don't see, though, is any entry in the logs as to when the email server accepts email from the website and sends it.   Is that logged already?
    if not, how can I set logging to log it?

    Linc,
    Thank you for taking the time to respond. I think you misunderstood my question, though.  I am not talking about roundcube. I'm talking about email sent from PHP websites. 
    I think, because I have spam filtering on, I can trust those logs to be accurate reports of each mail my server sends. 
    I was trying to determine if a rogue script got installed and was sending emails because I was getting backscatter. 
    For the sake of monitoring the server, though, I wish there was a simple log entry each time it mailed out. 

  • Can your contacts be hacked and sent as email spam

    I have received confirmation of spam email sent from my contact list on my pc, my mail address is hosted by AOL is there any software to check if i have in spambots hidden in my system or is it within AOL servers.

    It was your use of the term PC that led me to believe you were using a Windows computer. While Macs are technically personal computers, PC is more generally thought of as a Windows computer while Apple computers are Macs.
    My confusion aside, it is still extremely unlikely your Mac is infected with some form of malware. The odds are it is a PC belonging to someone you correspond with that is infected. They are in all likelihood not using your AOL account, instead setting up an SMTP server on the infected PC and spoofing to appear as if the traffic were coming through AOL. So changing your AOL password wouldn't hurt anything, it is unlikely to help.
    There is one possibility where your Mac is involved and that would be if someone else has physical access to your Mac. In that case all bets are off. If someone with ill intentions has physical access to your Mac and a modicum of knowledge, they own you and your computer. Your best protection in that case is to encrypt your entire HD using Filevault (System Preferences > Security & Privace > Filevault.)
    WARNING: If you use Filevault and forget your password you are toast.

  • I have several email account setup on iphone.  for one of them can receive from/to emails from phone, but emails sent from computer not received on phone.  phone shows receiving but does not come thru

    I have iphone 4s with several email accounts set up.  For one of these accounts, and only one, test emails sent from phone come thru fine.  But computer generated mail doesn't come to phone.  For test messages phone shows "receiving" but nothing comes to inbox.  External sent mail does not  come to phone inbox, but does to outlook on computer.  Have checked settings and these seem correct.  What's up?  Four other accounts work fine.

    If you can send e-mail when on WiFi from home, but not when on 3G, that indicates your email provider is blocking e-mail being sent from outside their network. This is done to control Spam. ISPs who do this will usually have a separate SMTP server that should be used when using a mobile device. Check with them again.

  • Co-author needs to reset email - no email sent from adobe

    Hello, I have invited another email, which is a 2nd email address of mine for a group associated with a soccer team, to be a coauthor on my adobe forms, but can't remember the adobe sign in password. When I ask it to send the reset link, I do not receive any emails from Adobe. I want to add the other email address so the submission email sent to the enduser is sent from the soccer team email account.

    Are you sure you created a FormsCentral account for that other email address? You can test this by trying to create a new free FormsCentral account with this email address. The Sign-Up process will tell you if this email address already exists.
    If it does exist then you might want to check your SPAM folder to makes sure the reset password email has not been filtered out of your inbox.
    If you still have issues please send your email addresses to [email protected] with a description of your issue (or a reference to this forum thread) so that we can investigate on our side.

  • NDR for emails sent from Exchange Server where domain was recently moved to Google Apps for Education

    We have an exchange server that has several accepted domains.  One of those domains, littleflowerparish.org, has been moved to Google Apps for Education.  Emails that are sent from other schools on the exchange server are receiving NDR messages,
    Diagnostic information is below.  The exchange server is housed at a seperate school, which is where the generating server is coming from.  Do I need to remove a setting from the DNS area of spnserver?
    I have removed the domain littleflowerparish.org from any address policies it was in, and have removed it from the accepted domain list.  The user accounts are still on the server as users need access to them for some time.
    Thoughts?

    Hi Justin,
    According to the error code from NDR, #5.5.0 smtp;553, it seems the Exchange server treats the eamil as a spam.
    Please check the server spnserver.stphilipindy.org just as Ed said.
    Thanks

  • Weird message sent instead of "sent from my iphone"

    I sent an email to myself (from my gmail account on my iphone 6,
    to my [same] gmail account on my PC) so that I could have a copy of a photo on my PC.
    It was one .PNG screenshot of a setup screen info for an app that I wanted to retain in both places.
    It didn't have a subject and I didn't add one, and there was NO body to the message, only the attached photo.
    It was the first time I did this type of thing.
    When I received the email at my PC it went to the suspected spam file.
    In the place of the usual "sent from my iphone" message it said,
    "This body part will be downloaded on demand."
    I thought this strange, possibly threatening and printed the email out.
    When I clicked the "this is not junk" button the message magically transformed to the "sent from my iphone".
    I have subsequently tried sending the same photo the same way and it comes through with the normal message.
    If this hadn't happened to me I wouldn't have believed it.
    Luckily, I showed it to my wife and printed a copy before it disappeared.
    Has this happened to anyone else or have I had some sort of miraculous apparition?

    I realize that that is why I got the spam message from Norton.
    I only included that to show the complete chain of events leading up to receiving the strange email.
    My real question was about the "This body part will be downloaded on demand." message that was actually in the email, and later magically changed to the standard "sent from my iphone". message.
    Here's a scan of the printed email:

    An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

  • Can't view comments in the doc sent from a collegue

    can't view comments from in doc sent from colleague

    Hi annab69154197,
    Please tell me a bit more about the file that you're working with. I'm assuming it's a PDF since you landed in the Acrobat.com forum--are you viewing it in Acrobat or Reader, and which version?
    When you open the PDF, are there no comments in it? Or, are you seeing empty comment boxes, or comments that are too small to read? Are you able to view comments in other PDF files?
    Best,
    Sara
