Spam email on wrong addresses

Hi everybody,
From 1 week i'm receiving spam email on my (icloud) email address: It's strange, because i never diffused and used that address, but ok spam is spam.
The problem is that the same email are arrived by unknown addresses ON a unknown addresses!! Yes, the receiver addresses aren't mine but however I received the mails on my icloud account!!
Why? How i can do for resolve this problem?
Maybe the accout was violated?
Thanks in advance.

Something is miserably broken with Verizon's mail filters.  A large portion of the email THAT I WANT AND/OR NEED is blocked yet the garbage email messages are sent through.
I cannnot send email using any program other than the web page.  I used to be able to send email from my phone and from outlook on my computer, but something changed on their side as the outgoing mail server no longer recognizes me.  It says that my password is incorrect, yet I am able to log into the email system to get my mail.  I have been using the internet for over 20 years (yes, I know, I was working with a startup ISP in 1994, I am old).  I know how to configure SMTP and POP mail clients.

  • Spam email from my Address Book

    Every day I get spam emails from names that are in my address book. I notice this because the names that pop up are not always common, often unique names of folks I have worked with recently.
    It's as if someone hijacked or monitors my email. This occurs on more on my non.mac email address.
    Possible? Thanks!

    Do you publish a weblog or any other online forum where you might reveal your email address and those of your acquaintances?

  • APPLE MAIL is sending emails from wrong address

    Hello,
    This question has probably been asked before, but I haven't been able to find it. Feel free to send me there with a link if it's helpful.
    Here's my plight:
    I use gmail IMAP and manage 2 email accounts through Apple Mail (5.2). One is the domain catch-all email, [email protected], and the other is my main personal account, [email protected] Usually, whichever mailbox I click on is the address from which my mail is sent. But recently, whenever I've sent mail from [email protected], the recipient has been seeing my personal address ([email protected]), rather than the Info address. But the address line still says "Info" and not my name, if that makes sense. Example:
    NORMAL: FirstName LastName "<[email protected]>"; Info "<[email protected]">
    NOW (PROBLEM): Info "<[email protected]>"
    The replies to the mail I sent from Info are then sent to my personal account. I checked the mail preferences and the Info settings are the same as they've always been. It says the name is Info and the address is [email protected] I'm not sure why Apple Mail is suddenly thinking that the Info emails are coming from my personal account. Is this an Apple Mail issue, or a Gmail issue? Help! I don't want people to be receiving emails from my personal account when it should be from the Info account. Do I need to delete the entire Info mailbox from Apple Mail and start all over?
    Thanks for your help!

    Agreed.  I had three gmail accounts, 2 business, one personal, but lately all my attempts to send mail from my personal account wound up being sent from Business instead, even after selecting which account to send it from.
    I went into Preferences, Account info, then found all outgoing smtp servers simply called gmail but there were three in the list. It turned out that all my accounts were being directed to one server address.
    If you drop down the Edit SMTP Server list, then select each account under Account Information you can see which server is dedicated to which account. Then you can edit the name of the related gmail server to the related account. So you can have gmail personal, gmail business 1, gmail business 2 etc.
    Once you have the servers renamed (all the same actually but tells mail which account credentials to use), you can then select the appropriate server to match the right account under Preferences>Account Info front page.
    Worked for me.

  • Group email includes wrong address

    I'd been sending a group email via Contacts just fine. Until this morning, I noticed that that group email included addresses that were in a different group! It's still doing the same thing, even though I restarted my iMac. Help?

    Fixed it myself. I went to System Preferences, then iCloud. I deselected "Contacts." Then I went back to my iMac Contacts and let it "reboot." I did a group email, and everything worked. Then I returned to iCloud and clicked "Contacts." Voila! Back to normal!

  • Iphone sending emails from wrong address

    My Iphone is sending emails from a gmail account I no longer wish to use.  I cannot find any trace of these details on the phone, I have deleted and set up the one I want to use but it is still happening.  I am missing important messages because I send them from the correct details but if people hit 'reply' they are sent to gmail.  Soooooo annoying!

    Reboot your iPhone. Then check Settings > Mail > Accounts and make sure the account you no long want to use is either turned off ( if you plan to use it again in the future) or deleted.

    1. That can happen if the other user is sending from the first user or is logged into the other user's mailbox.  See if you can reproduce the issue while watching exactly what the users are doing.  That may also happen if one user is forwarding
    the mail by rule.
    2. That can also appear to be the case when the apparent sender is forwarding mail by rule.
    3. Using ADSI Edit, look at the legacyExchangeDN attribute of the users.  Please post them here if you have any questions.

  • Unsolicited explicit spam email to an iCloud email address

    I've been getting explicit spam email to my iCloud email address from a site in the USA for over a month. And no I haven't signed up for something and am not admitting it............and I'm in Australia so any "benefits" of the site are a long way away.
    I've tried contacting the sender but because I've never used the iCloud account (my email is a me.com account) it's being rejected.
    How can I delete the iCloud side of my without affecting the me.com email address ?
    I believe that the iCloud user name may well exist with someone else in the USA because I've been told that is possible - anyone else know this ?
    Any advice welcome...it's ceased being funny.

    If it's always from the same sender, set up an email rule on icloud.com to send email from the sender to the trash.  This explains how to set up an email rule: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a.

  • I am receiving spam emails from my own email address and need to put a stop to it asap please.

    Hi as per above, for the last week I have been receiving spam emails from my own email address. Can anyone help me please to put a stop to this and also perhaps explain how it happened? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

    '''but not sure what you mean when you say I must not store it on my computer?'''
    I was just thinking that if someone or some software agent is accessing your computer then they also have access to saved passwords if for instance it is webmail and the password is stored on Firefox, or if you store logins and passwords in any other utility.
    '''I have asked my service provider again for help - waiting to hear from them. I don't store passwords in any other utility that I know of? Are passwords stored automatically somewhere on computers?'''
    An obvious thing to do is also make sure you log out of email and do not leave yourself logged in or use the remember me option.
    '''Yes, thank you, I always log out and never use the remember me option'''
    '''Thank you for your input. I did report this to my service provider and they assured me that no one is accessing my account?
    I wonder what they meant by that
    possibly that the account has been accessed only from your computer and the same IP Address has been shown
    Maybe just that the mail used your login and password.
    '''I have asked them to verify the above - thank you. :)'''
    What are the emails ? do they make sense, are they also sent to others ? and of course is it likely anyone else is using your computer and sending these emails.
    '''The emails make some sort of sense but not much. As far as I know I am the only one receiving them but just to be safe I deleted my Address Book. No one else has access to my computer - I am the only one who uses it. :(('''
    it is probably worth contacting them again, give a couple of examples of the emails you are referring to and tell them that you yourself did not type those emails. Ask if they can explain how this may have happened.
    '''Done and awaiting their response. :) Thank you'''
    As a general security measure it is also good practice
    to use a limited user account for day to day work not an admin account
    http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_security_whynot_admin.mspx
    to set passwords up to login to your computer
    '''what is a limited user account? Also, I am now busy adding a password to my computer and making all files private through User Accounts. Would that help do you think?'''
    http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/usercpl_create_password.mspx
    (IIRC at one time by default XP setup an Administration account with a nul default password, an F8 reboot would get you in by just using the return key when the password prompt showed ) P.S. as mentioned method 3 in this article http://www.slideshare.net/passexpert/six-methods-to-crack-windows-admin-password-remove-unknown-windows-admin-password. Rather a serious security hole.

    Is there a way I can delete my primary @me email address so that I can receive emails only via my "reserved" @icloud address. eg. delete "msjones@me" and receive emails via "msjones@icloud" only.The reason being, I receive a fair bit of spam to my @me address. Going forward I plan on using an alias for certain websites to minimise this problem.

    You can't delete the address, but you can set up a Rule to move messages to that address to the Trash or another folder. Go to http://icloud.com and go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Rules'.
    It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - even though in fact you haven't posted them in full; I've asked the hosts to remove them.

  • HT5787 Apple is sending my reset-email to the wrong address!!!

    I would like to reset my password for my Apple Id.
    But, I forgot one of the security questions.
    I follow the procedure:
    - I requested the reset-email.
    - I have access to the email registered with apple id
    - the reset-email has not arrived
    I tried couple of times.
    But, below the security questions, it says it will send the reset email to the address  [email protected]
    The thing is: I do NOT have any email like that registered with apple.
    Is apple sending my reset-email to the wrong address??
    What do I do? There is no link to report this directly to Apple, is there??
    Thanks a lot to the community.
    Clarice

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Even though in ical the reminders are set to my new address AND in Address book, this old email is nowhere to be seen, especially not under my name.

    Can anyone please advise?

  • Why when people reply to my email, the reply address is wrong?

    Why when people reply to my email, the reply address is wrong?
         What I did: 1) Mail > Preferences>Composing>Send new message from >[email protected]
         2) Selected the inbox for the correct email address before sending
         3) Selected the from from the composing pane

    @Jscher2000.
    It is still a frequent problem. We are dealing with people who are still using Windows XP some still using their trusty 2000 versions.
    As for 2003. The same stupid setting is available in outlook 2013 see http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/change-the-message-format-to-html-rich-text-format-or-plain-text-HA102749169.aspx
    I will stick to my original statement. Outlook is not an email application. Outlook is an excellent exchange client (its primary purpose) it is also an excellent corporate mail client as long as it is acting as an exchange client. Lotus domino and IBMs websphere have similar abilities and strengths luckily they are not flogged off to the general public as something they are not "a mail client". Outlook is, and does that job in a barely adequate way, providing the general user that is familiar with it's corporate functions a very skewed view of email and how it works.
    @sloimpex have you tried right clicking the folder and selecting properties and then repair. Sometime the index get a little screwy and rebuilding it make the invisible visible.

  • April 2015: Could I have a current Answer to this question all reff are 6-8 years ago, Why since Firefox joined Yahoo, am I getting Spam Email Every Day, Thank

    Since Firefox joined with Yahoo, I have been receiving Daily Spam Emails, never have I had so many since this merger. Plus only 3/4 of many received Emails are shown on the screen, the rest are cut off.. Thank you

    Mozilla doesn't send spam, nor does Yahoo, so this isn't something we can control. I'd suggest you try adjusting the spam filters in your e-mail system to better get rid of the garbage, or switch e-mail addresses if it is really bad.
    As for e-mails being cut off, try the steps at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]
