Skype spam virus

hello my skype account is sending spam messages, I've tried the solution in the following thread but the spam is not going away http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-archive/Skype-spam-virus/m-p/1092492#M66501 I have changed my password and even uninstalled skype from the PC i used it most, ran several antivirus/malware scans but the spam just keeps going on, I don't know what else to do

Same thing happens to me. My Skype is sending out links with goog.le/.... adresses to my contacts. How can I fix this?

Spam & Virus check only - no user accounts

I am trying to use one of my OS X Server boxes as a spam/virus filter only. I want it to listen on port 25 and relay to the same machine port 325 to hit another SMTP server. I have entered all of my domains and sub-domains into the virtual domains screen. I have not set up any user accounts.
I see that I can set outgoing SMTP relaying through the GUI and it does seem to accept xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:325 as a format - but I am not sure that this is legal. Is it? I also found in the archives that this may have to be hand written into the config file as the GUI does not enter relay values correctly. Is this still true in 10.4.4?
How do I force all incoming mail to pass through the server and automatically send on to the outgoing SMTP. This is kind of like a backup mail server that accepts mail and relays it on when the primary comes back on line. Please point me to the config file if that is where I need to be editing.

I continued work on this issue today. First, I checked and the three User account folders were present in the Users folder along with the one new account created as part of the Mac OSX Tiger A&I. For some reason, not one of these 4 was accessible from the Login screen; it acted exactly if there were no user accounts.
Purchased and installed DiskWarrior 4 on the FW drive and rebuilt the directory of the iMac's internal drive. Ran all other tests available w/ DW. Still no joy on logging in. I should NOT have had to see the Login screen at all if the new user had been created properly.
Punted. Copied everything I thought I would need to the external drive, then did an Erase & Install of OS X Tiger. Applied all updates, no problems logging in. Copied all the original User/username files and folders and restored a few apps.
Finally, after much wasted time, I have all but one App running and all data files, folders, pics, music restored.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 fails because I apparently failed to save a .plist file somewhere and now I learn too late that PE 3.0 will not install on a 10.4.x system. Sigh.

Anti malware / anti spam / virus protection

Greetings,
With the introduce of Exchange Server 2013 along with its architecture, Microsoft has moved Transport services / roles to Mailbox Server Role. well, when it comes to anti malware / anti spam and viruses , Microsoft recommends deploying them on Mailbox Server
role, while on CAS, not necessarily be deployed as long as messages are not inspected on CAS Servers.
While some articles say the opposite, and mention configuration of Anti malware ,etc.. on CAS Servers.
What is the best practice for deploying anti malware / spam / virus Software on CAS, and what is the best recommended software for messaging and OS level protection, say Symantec for example.
Thanking you
Jamil

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, in Exchange 2013, the CAS server acts as a stateless proxy for all inbound and outbound external SMTP traffic, it does not inspect message content and does not queue any messages locally. Moreover, as you know, in Exchange 2013,
the Transport service, which runs on all Mailbox servers, is almost identical to the Hub Transport server role in previous versions of Exchange.
Thus, anti-spam agents in Exchange 2013 run on Mailbox servers. And here is a reference about enabling Anti-Spam on Mailbox Servers:

Email message rejected for possible spam/virus content

When I do a Reply All on an email that includes my own Mail email address in the recipient list, the reply is delivered to everyone but me. I get a [email protected] email with a Diagnostic code: "smtp;553 5.3.0 17.158.232.236 Your message was rejected for possible spam/virus content.Please ask your email provider to visithttp://emailadmin.registeredsite.com for resolution."
This never happened before. The only thing that has changed on my system is that I have recently installed Webroot SecureAnywhere antivirus. Any ideas?

I suggest you contact godaddy for some support using their mail service.

I just want to add that i followed pterobyte's instructions from http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2402121&tstart=0 and updated ClamAV. It seemed to work fine for a day and all of a sudden mails were getting queued.

Cisco Spam & Virus Blocker

Hello
How is the license handled on the Spam & Virus Blocker? Our customer has approx. 120 Lotus Notes Mailboxes. But he only use 30 Mailboxes for external Mailing, the other Mailboxes are only used for calendar and internal mailing.
Can I take a Box for 50 users or will this not work? How will the Spam & Virus Blocker handle the license?
Thanks and regards
Luke

relayhost = 192.168.0.000.
I find it extremely unlikely that IP address is valid for your network (or any network, for that matter).
I don't know if you've masked it trying to hide the real address (there's no point since it's a private network address anyway), but just in case that is what you've set, you will need to change that to the actual IP address of the mail appliance.
I did that and tested sending an email to an outside address but no relay.
What do you mean by 'no relay'. Do you mean that the mail server delivered the mail without relaying it through the appliance? Or that the mail didn't get delivered at all?
What do the log files have to say about it?

Spam / Virus / Mail Reporting Tools

Does anyone have an recommendations on how i find the stats for what the Leopard mail server is upto? Just daily reports on the volumes of mails / spams / virus scans would be great.
Thanks.
N.

I second pterobyte's suggestion of mailgraph. It took me about 5 minutes; about as painful as a bandaid. And the resulting database can be parsed and mailed a million was with rrdtool. A big benefit that may make it worth it to you is that it handles the time data; any other script you put together will have to keep track of what it has and hasn't seen, etc. where with mailgraph and rrdtool you can whip up a command line that summarizes running-average data and mails it to you (optionally with attached images).
That said, if you really want something else, I imagine they exist. I have run several other mail log analyzers (that's a good search term) that work passably well. None were as nice as mailrrd, though.

Spam & Virus Blocker / Exchange 2007

I have been running the Spam & Virus blocker for a month and love it. I'm in the middle of an email server migration (Ex2003 to Ex2007). I wanted the blocker to start forwarding (SMTP route) to my Ex2007 box instead of my Ex2003 box. The blocker continues to tell me that my Ex2007 box is down (Monitor - Delivery Status) and no mail gets delivered. If I bypass the blocker, mail gets delivered to Ex2007 just fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Problem solved, it was an ID10T error. I was asking the blocker to SMTP route to my domain controller and not the Exchange 2007 box. Once I realized my mistake, I put the correct server name into SMTP route, and it works perfect.

Spam/Virus Statistics or Report per Users.

Is there any workaround to generate a spam statistics/report per
users? so we could send our users report about spam/virus that
access to their account.
Thanks.

The 'monitor -> internal users' page in the Ironport WebGUI gives you user mail flow details for internal users(both inbound and outbound email). You can search for a specific user and obtain user specific stats. Also, these reports may be imported to CSV format if you need to plot them separately.

I just got an email from Apple, asking me to complete a survey. If I don't then I'll loose my Apple ID. I think this is spam/virus/hacker. Anybody have any info on this?

There have been a number of phishing scam emails going around for at least half a year...do not respond, click links, or do anything with that email. Apple does not operate that way.
See: http://www.apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/

I got an email that looks like Spam or Phising that states in header: "Apple online access activation". Is it Spam/Virus/Phishing..???

Help with Spam/virus!

I keep getting virus/spam in my (ipad) email inboxes, that my pc normally catches. And it is then sending out spam from my email to all my contacts. help!

You'll need to work with your email provider to filter spam messages, since there is no antispam filter on the iPad. Your iPad can't be sending out spam itself, though, unless the iPad was jailbroken. If spam is coming from your email account (or is purported to be), it's almost certainly coming from somewhere else.

Skype installing viruses.

The definition of a computer virus reads as such : "A computer virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computerwithout your knowledge and runs against your wishes."
I have elected to not recieve automatic updates to Skype. Multiple times in fact, after finding it had been mysteriously changed. I never got any notification that Skype would be updating. I started my PC today and found that Skype had updated to 7 against my wishes and without my knowledge.
Now I've seen some sort of fix to force it to never update by disabling access through your firewall. I think this is in no way a necessary step to stop Skype from forcing its update on me. I already elected multiple times to not receieve the update, why should I have to take more precaution to prevent an unwanted update?
So I ask you Skype, why have you given me a virus? And please tell me how to remove the virus (Skype 7.0).

There are various reasons why running the latest Skype version is important and why we are promoting the latest version to our users. Most importantly it's application and network stability and security which we need to maintain in order for you as users of Skype to enjoy a good Skype experience. Changes to the UI occur over the lifetime of a software and we are trying our best to make the transition as smooth as possible. Please continue to share your feedback so that the new Skype layout preserves the best of what you got to love on the old Skype.

Is my Skype spam-calling someone?

A few months ago I received a voice mail from some man who was very angry about getting spam called, and just last week I got another voice mail from the same man, still angry, about spam calls. I have never called this person before and nothing in my Skype outbound calls shows his number having ever been called. I do not know if he is calling and leaving a message on the wrong number (mine), or if he is legitmately experiencing harrassment from my Skype.
I paid for a Canadian Skype number and I am at a loss as to what to do about this other than nothing at all, but I am afraid of some bogus harrassment charges being brought against me for something I have never done and have no idea how it could be done.
Has anyone heard of this ever happening? My concern is because it was the same guy calling while a considerable amount of time had passed, making me think that he might be occasionally calling the wrong number, but my Skype number being unique I do not see how this could be, or occur twice. I have googled searched and looked for an explanation to what is happening, if my Skype account could possibly be doing this, but so far I cannot find anything.

seems like the usual syncing mystery to me.

Spam/virus mails being quarantined vs deleted?

I have my 10.4.8 mail server explicitly set to delete detected spam and viruses. I noticed today that spam and virus mails are actively being quarantined in /var/virusmails. Why is it quaratining these when I specifically set to have them deleted? Further, what's the point of the quarantine setting as opposed to the observed behavior of the delete setting? Many thanks.
-Roy

Deleting will not forward the tagged mail to the user's mailbox, but quarantine instead. If you do not want them to be quarantined, edit /etc/amavisd.conf and change:
$QUARANTINEDIR = '/var/virusmails';
to
$QUARANTINEDIR = undef;
and restart mail services.
