SPAM Filter Issues for Email

I don't understand how I can continue to get 20+ SPAM emails a day that the filter does not catch.  I even login and tag them as SPAM per the instructions.  I even forward the emails to "report SPAM" email alias, yet they keep on coming...same ones, over and over.  I actually forwarded my verizon email to a live.com email address for about a week and it caught EVERY SPAM email that verizon didn't.  Can ANYONE give me some advice on how to fix this issue?  I want to keep my email address @ Verizon but I'm close to bailing on it....thanks in advance for any help!

there is no reason to drop the VZ email address. I recently changed to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and it does a good job of spam filtering with the verizon account.. Best part it is free & often updated. It is very easy to setup and has many more useful features than verizon's mail. Good luck

  • Spam fighting Idea for Email Users-Beyond Junk Mail

    I get so much junk mail I was hoping there was a way to automatically bounce back anything that got classified as junk. Then the important person who sent the email could use the old telephone for contact if they found they weren't getting their communication through. There would be an added bonus of all the emails that were junk would look the same (Mail Delivery System) and faster to delete.
    Does anyone else think this is a good idea or is it just stupid.

    Do you use this email address for public purposes, such as for online purchases, or for website access if an email address is required for access, or provide it for anything and everything when an email address is requested or required?
    Do you automatically render all HTML received? If so, and a spammer includes embedded images or objects with HTML formatting that must be rendered from a remote server to be viewed, you are notifying the spammer that your email address is valid or "known good" causing even more spam to be received. When the Mail.app's Junk Mail filter correctly marks a message as junk when received, and the spammer includes embedded images or objects that must be rendered from a remote server to be viewed, these will not be rendered when such a message is marked as junk as a security measure. But this does not apply if such a junk message is not marked as junk when received, which is why automatically rendering all HTML when received is not a good idea.
    Have you ever selected a link included with a spam message - any link, and especially a remove your address from the circulation list link? If so, you have done nothing but notify the spammer that your email address is valid or "known good" causing even more spam to be received.
    Spammers sell/trade their "known good" email address lists to each other, causing even more spam.
    If you have done any or all of these things, you have inadvertently and unknowingly added to the amount of spam you are receiving.
    Once an email address is so badly compromised, it is impossible to get the cat back in the bag.
    The best thing to do is to have a personal email address that is used to exchange email with family and friends only. Do not use this email address for online purchases, or for any other public consumption. Get a free Hotmail account that is accessed via webmail only using a browser to be used for online purchases and for public consumption.
    A Gmail account is free, can be accessed as an IMAP or POP account with an email client on your computer, has webmail access, has an authenticated SMTP server so you can send messages with the account regardless the ISP being used for your internet connection, and Gmail has a good spam filter at their incoming mail server.
    You don't want to reply to, bounce back, select any links, or render any HTML for spam for a number of reasons.

  • SPAM filter setting for CRES secure e-mail

    I am using Ironport strictly as an outgoing e-mail encryption engine. We use a different incoming spam filter (Barracuda). I would like to be able to go to the CRES site and send an encrypted message to our internal domain so users can establish their CRES credentials. However, the anti-spoofing rules on the Barracuda block the incoming mail because the domain it was from is our internal domain. I have whitelisted the mx-res.cisco.com address, 216.206.186.134, but I am still receiving block messages like below (I removed the actual e-mail address):
    Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
    Subject: Test 1
    Sent: 10/15/2009 7:36 AM
    The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:
    (removed) on 10/15/2009 7:36 AM
    The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator.
    mx1.res.cisco.com #5.0.0 smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'Blocked\x00\x006' (delivery attempts: 0)
    First of all, are there other IP addresses I should be whitelisting for Cisco RES outbound e-mail mail servers? What else do I need to do? I don't want to turn of the anti-spoofing, due to the spam we would receive.

    With the recent CRES upgrade IP address range used for mail delivery has changed. Please refer the below posting.

  • Multi-values filter issue for QaaWS

    Hi,
    I've a matter with my Xcelsius Dashboard linked to a QaaWS.
    I explain you in more datail:
    I've created a QaaWS with a prompt that uses an "In List" operator (for example a prompt named State on State field). I'm been able to pass just one single value to the "State" Input Parameter of my QaaWS in an Xcelsius Dashboard, but not a multi-values. I've tried in vain to map more than one cell for the "State" Input Parameter (for example A1:A2 and pass California to A1 and Colorado to A2 : in this case the query returns values just for California)or to map just one cell and pass it a string like "California;Colorado" (in this case query doesn't return any values).
    Has someone ever been incurred in this issue? Any suggest is very appreciated...
    Best regards.

    i've solved....
    When i map my excel spreadsheet I can duplicate input parameter with the + button near "Input Values" into Web Service Component properties. I's a static solution but it works for my purpose.

  • Ground Hog Day redux with recurrent overly aggressive spam filter on Verizon outbound email

    Each day I send out two emails.  Each is to one addressee.  Each contains as an attachment a jobs newsletter my two friends have asked me to forward.  About every two weeks since this summer the Verizon spam filter identifies my emails as "spam."  This then requires contacting the Verizon spam site and within a day or so I can send my two daily emails until the spam filter blocks them again.
    Has anyone had any success with a more permanent fix?  Is there anyone at Verizon who cares that their customers are  being inconvenienced by their war against spam?  I don't like being collateral damage in that war.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Verizon does care that legitimate emails are being blocked. That is why they have the [email protected] address available in the first place. It actually causes fewer problems than allowing spam to continue unabated, which leads to situations where entire DOMAINS block ALL Verizon mail for days, even weeks at a time. The outbound spam filter isn't perfect, but it IS a step forward.
    Sending false positives to the [email protected]  EVERY time is the best way to help the filter improve.
    Some other troubleshooting steps you can try:
    If you have a signature, try removing one line at a time from it and attempting to send the message again. Some signatures look like "ads" to the filters, apparently.
    If you are using a pop3 client (Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.) try sending your message from the verizon.net website. If this resolves the issue, then it is something that your client is adding to the message that is causing it to be blocked.
    If the Subject line of your message has a whole bunch of "Fwd: Fwd: Re: Fwd:" try removing some of them.

  • Spam filter for email server

    Depends on what you want to pay. There are various ways of doing this.
    1. block at your firewall. I have a watchguard and this acts as my first line of defense.
    2. Install an app on your mail server - I have Symantic for Exchange as my second line 
    but then you can go and signup to outside organisations such as messagelabs to handle all your filtering for you.

    hi all,
    im running postfix+dovecot for an email server and i want a spam filter to go infront of postfix so it can filter out spam before it gets anywhere near my email server
    also i imagine with spam filters you can set your own spam policies and allow good senders and block bad senders
    many thanks

  • Best Hosting Service For Email/Website (#spam issues)

    I've been using GoDaddy for webhosting and email hosting for a few years.
    I've been having spam issues with every site and email I've setup with them. It's apparently a notorious issue with GoDaddy specifically, you can find loads of threads on it all over the net and GoDaddy closes the threads that people start on their own help forums.
    I do nothing that could cause spam triggers. I don't send out mass emails, no subscriptions, newsletters, no links, nothing. Its literally nothing but responding to customer inquiries and VERY often they go directly to their spam/junk folders which of course is very very bad.
    Can anyone recommend the best hosting service so this does not happen? Or anything I can do to help the situation? I have no problem paying a premium monthly for something that will guarantee (or at least as much as possible) that my mail actually gets delivered.
    Is there any hosting service or service in general that is considered the best of the best?

    Never heard that there was a specific problem with GoDaddy and spam.
    Spam is a fact of life.  Getting your mail delivered has nothing to do with spam.
    If you use Mail and a POP account fro getting your mail, try something like SpamSieve,  this will eliminate about 99% of spam in short order.
    Gmail has a fairly good spam filtering for email only. You could change email accounts and not rely on GoDaddys email service, just set it up so it forwards to a gmail account to take advantage of their filtering/

  • Email spam filter

    I am using Intuit's GoPayment to process my credit card payments from customers.  GoPayment allows me to email a receipt to my customer but many do not have email addresses so I purchased the HP3522 ePrinter so that I could email the receipt directly to the printer's email address enabling me to provide them with a printed receipt.  The email spam filter is rejecting these emails.  Intuit creates the email and sends it with my gmail account listed as sender.  (I have the settings on the printer set to accept ANY addresses).  Anyone else have this issue?  
    I am able to send the receipt to myself and then send that email to the printer but that seems rather counter-productive and time-consuming.  Is there a way to get these receipts to print on this printer without this added step?? 
    I paid for the printer, the paper, and the ink cartridges - shouldn't it be MY decision if spam emails are using it up???  Please, let ME decide what is spam!!!

    Hi CARParts. The spam filter for email prints cannot be overridden. If the subject line is blank, that could be a reason it is being blocked, but I imagine it has something typed in. If you wish to print these receipts a workaround to consider would be to have them sent to your email directly and then save/convert them to a PDF file, and then send to the printer.

  • Is there a Spam filter for Mail? In iOS 5?

    I haven't seen this question posted for a couple of years, so I'm curious if iOS 4 has addressed my concern. Can Mail for iPod Touch 4th Generation be set up with some sort of spam filter? I have very good filters associated with my various email accounts at their servers (Gmail, GoDaddy, Earthlink) but all of these accounts pass the spam through to my iPod.
    Will this be fixed in iOS 5?
    And also ... why do some messages not offer the "Trash Can" icon, but only the multiple button option to "Move to>Trash"?
    Thanks

    No. iOS5 isn't out yet. We don't know what's in it. But likely there isn't.

  • Email SPAM filter doesn't work

    Is the webmail SPAM filter supposed to ... like ... prevent SPAM? I get the same SPAM every day. The SPAM button does nothing, 

    I have been marking about 30 per day as spam and forwarding all of them to the address that Verizon says is for undetected spam. The spam I get is all from the same outfit, I believe, based on the uniformity of how they package their notes and the fact that all of the links are spoofed.  One would think that after 30 a day for several months, somebody in Verizon would wake up to the fact that Verizon users are getting killed with spam. One would think that if they truly cared about our email experience they would have an army of folks jumping on the spam we forward to them, aggressively pursuing it and working to reduce it.  The fact is that they show no evidence of putting forth ANY effort at making our experience better.  
    The fact seems to be that they have little concern for their email users.  The more of us that stick with Verizon for our home internet service, paying them their monthly fee, but jump to other, better email providers merely means less work for them.  Not a bad model for making maximum profit, but a sucky way to treat customers.  
    My Verizon Wireless service has been fantastic.  But my Verizon phone/internet service sucks.  I'm just waiting until another provider is available in my area so I can leave Verizon forever.  Lousy support, uncaring employees.  I send in notes to them and get zero response.  Look at the complaints in these forums that continue to rack up. Almost no response from the company.  We're all left to try to deal with our problems ourselves with only minimal support.  Probably some intern that spends his/her shift playing Angry Birds.  

  • The Best Spam Filter for Mail

    Here is the best smap filter for mail:
    http://c-command.com/spamsieve/
    I don't know why Apple don't buy that company and include the spam filter on mail, that would be great because spam is getting worst every day, and people than don't buy this type of spam filters need to delete a lot of spam mails every day.

    The Junk Mail filter included with the Mail.app has always worked very well for me, and IMO, a good deal of the responsibility for filtering spam in the first place and where it arrives initially, lies with the email account provider for an email account - with adequate filtering performed at the incoming mail server.
    This and taking some precautions with an email address shouldn't require having to purchase a spam filter from a 3rd party for the email client used to access an account.

  • Spam Filter for iPad?

    Is there a way to filter the iPad Mail app for spam?

    Selecting an email for deletion is not the equivalent to opening the email.
    You can select an email for deletion without opening the email.
    You can also turn Load Remote Images off. When remote images are rendered from a server when opening an email is how an email address is determined to be known good by a spammer.

  • Can I set up a spam filter for my iPad like I have on my Mac?

    Can I set up a spam filter for my iPad like I have on my Mac?

    The Mac OS X Mail application has a "Junk" function that works locally, on the Mac, and just puts emails from previously designated "junk" addresses into a separete folder, so you don't have to wade thru all that spam in your Inbox. It's a very elegant and simple, local solution, that I dearly miss on iOS.
    I did submit a request for it at Apple Feedback page.
