Spam emails sent from my contacts

Recently 2 sets of spam emails were sent using my email address to people in my contact list. All reciepients were in my contact list, my mail sent box does not show these emails as outbound from my computer. The only other option is it was from my BlackBerry curve.
Is there malware or a virus that could have sent them form my iMac?

It is very very unlikey that this happened because of some malware on your mac. There are no viruses on macs . It is most likely that someone hacked into your email provider. It hasn't happened to me, but I know of a lot of people that has happend to. You should probably contact your email provider to get more details. also, check on the links to the threads listed in the box on the right "More Like This". Some of them may be a little bit dated, but might give you some helpful information as well.
For more information on malware and viruses read this:

Spam email sent from my BT mail account

My email account appears to be sending rogue emails to my contacts list.
I first noticed the problem several months ago, BT NetProtect scans and malwarebites didnt detect anything.
I changed my password which seemed to work for a while but then same thing happened, my contacts list received a rogue email with a link.
I recently re-installed windows on my 2 p.c's hoping this would resolve the issue, but after a couple of weeks the same thing has just happened.
The last spam email sent emails to everyone from my old conatcts list, even though I had deleted all the contacts after the recent windows re-install.
I have looked at the 'Delivery Failure' emails and the header does contain my email address.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Have a look at these threads. It will save repeating everything.

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.

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.

The email sent from macbook do not appear in my iphone and yahoo account

the email sent from macbook do not appear in my iphone and yahoo account

thanks for your help... I was feeling frustrated because the sync problem, but with your suggestion all contacts are now on my iPhone. _Thanks once again_.
I think that I was asking two different questions at the same time, because the problem with the iPhone synchronization was solved, but the .Mac Address Book still has no new contacts... just the contacts before the Mac OS X update to Leopard. I guess that I will need to look for help in other discussion topic.

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.

Emails sent from Blackberry

Is there a way for a copy of emails sent from Blackberry to be saved to Sent email on web?

If you're using Gmail or Yahoo, it happens automatiicaly.
If you're on a private domain, it's hard to say what will happen, not knowing your email server type, POP or IMAP. However, at your BIS account login, where you setup your email push to the BlackBerry, you can set a BCC of all email to where ever you desire.

Emails sent from mi BB not refreshing in MSOutlook

Hi, i have this enviroment:
- MS Outlook 2010
- BB Curve 8520, v5.0.0.592 (Platform 5.2.0.64), kernel v3.8.5.85
- Gmail account
- Provider: Movistar
I have this configuration:
- Gmail account: POP enabled, IMAP enabled.
- MS Outlook: gmail configure as POP, emails kept in server & delete items deleted in outlook from gmail at sync.
- BB Curve: only use gmail account. Configured by Movistar (i think it uses IMAP), auto sent a copy of the message (in email configuration), has no address saved.
- Last version of BBDesktop for sync all data of the organizer between MSOutlook, and BBCurve (contacts, calendar, tasks & notes).
- My primary app is MSOutlook, then BBCurve, then Gmail.
I need, as my hard disk fail to reinstall. So i translate all to my notebook. PST included. Install BBDesktop in notebook, etc.
Everything is all right (...but):
In my PC i have this:
- Emails sent and receive in Gmail, are sync with Outlook (with a single rule, all emails that i receive from gmail sent by me are moved to Sent Items Foldes in Outlook).
- Emails sent from BB, are sync to Gmail and Outlook.
- Emais sent from Outlook, are sync to Gmail, BB, with the side effect that Outlook gets emails duplicated (that is something to that i get used to, so, there is no problem with it).
Since i move all to my notebook, i can do almost everything, almost:
- The problem is that Emails sent from BB, are sync to Gmail, but not to Outlook!
- I have seen a lot of time all configurations, and all appear to be the same as always.
Solutions & Problem to be solved:
- I try make BB sending me a copy of all outgoing message, automatically, and this seems to work, but now, i get the duplicated email in Gmail.
- As my primary app is still Outlook, i cannot handle the duplicated email to be erased (manually), or i have to connect to Gmail to mantain it clean.
Any idea about the best way to configure Outlook/Blackberry/Gmail to achieve my goals?
Thanks for any idea!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Not all services are able to sync Sent Items via BIS. Not knowing who hosts your business account, we can't tell you if it should work or not. Here's a matrix that discusses the reconciliation features of various email providers.

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.

What is wrong to cause someone replying to an email sent from my iPhone to always bounce back to them?

What is wrong to cause someone replying to an email sent from my iPhone to always bounce back to them?

It isn't for advertising. It is to let recipients know the message was sent from your iPhone in the event there are mispelled words, ect. You can add whatever you want such as sent from my mobile device.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. Select Clear and don't enter anything, or enter whatever you want.

TS3276 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.

ICloud emails sent from apple mail or iPhone 3gs never arrives, works fine when sent from iCloud website

The ony place I have been able to send and receive email since the launch of iCloud has been the icloud website. I wasn't able to send email from my iphone 3gs or apple mail at all until today, now it finally appears to let me send email but it never arrives to its destination.
I can send an email from the icloud website without issue, and email sent from my icloud account using my iphone 3gs and apple mail seems to send fine and without error but who knows where it goes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks!
Charles

I figured out how to fix it... if anyone else has this problem, go to Outlook > Preferences > Accounts > select the IMAP account > Advanced > Folders and for "Store Sent Messages in this Folder:" select "Sent Messages (Server)."

Sync email sent from ipad

Is it possible to get emails sent from my iPad syncd to my iMac so that I have a record of sent emails it's the same email account.

I have a POP account on my macbook and IMAP access on my Ipad. When I send emails from the Ipad I caanot see them in my POP account as sent.
How can I sync the macbook and Ipad so I can track my sent emails?
There is no issue because that's not how POP works. Setup the Macbook account as IMAP and all is well.

Email sent from iPad main account arrives from gmail address

Email sent from iPad main account arrives from gmail address

I have solved this. The main account SMTP setting was wrong so it was using the next outgoing mail server available which was Gmail. Disabling Gmail as an alternative highlighted that the main one was wrong. I fixed the main SMPTP outgoing server address and all now working. Hope this helps.
