Got this e-mail. FYI

It is of course a fake. You can forward the message to [email protected] if you wish. Otherwise, just delete it.

How to empty the "Spam box" on Mail (Mavericks) when the function on the menu bar is grey (instead of black)?

Mail Preferences, Junk Mail. Set it to Move it to the Junk mailbox.
If you don't have the Junk Mail preferences set to move it to the Junk mailbox, then that item will not be active.
If you don't have that set, the spam is likely being moved by your email provider.
If you don't want to change the settings, try selecting all of it in the Junk Mailbox and delete it. That would move it to Trash, I think. However, I don't have any junk email at the moment to try that.

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.

I use IMAP to get Gmail. I seem to remember seeing a "[Gmail]/Spam" IMAP folder in previous versions of the app, but that's not visible any more.
Without this, I have to log on to the web-based Gmail to mark messages as spam, that's a productivity killer.

OT: new kind of spam/scam?

hey guys. i've been getting quite a few of these emails
lately, and i
generally ignore them because we don't sell ad space on our
websites.
but they seem kind of shady to me, and i was just wondering
if anyone
else has been getting them, and if they are, in fact, just
another form
of spam or a scam. here's a typical message:
Good day,
My name is George Nelson and I am contacting you to inquire
eventual
purchase of a link on your website (my domain usually goes
here).
Could you please give us the prices for the following ad
options:
1) text link on your homepage only
2) text link on all pages
3) text box 120x60, 125x125 on homepage
4) text box 120x60, 125x125 on all pages
Thank you in advance!
George Nelson
here's another one:
Hello,
Browsing on the Internet I came upon your website (domain)
and I find it very interesting and useful.
My name is Daniel Lee and the reason I am contacting you is
my interest in
purchasing advertising spot on your site.
I will be very thankful if you tell me how much a text link
or banner 120x60
/ 125x125 on your home page or all pages will cost.
Thank you in advance!
Daniel Lee
note that they don't identify their company anywhere in the
message. and
the email address/name in the from field (which i didn't
post) doesn't
match the name at the end of the message. so, i guess it's
safe to
assume that it is spam. i'm just wondering what the point is!
there's no
links to click. no product to buy. just a fake ad quote
request. what's
the purpose?? usually spam or scam emails are trying to get
you to visit
a website, or download something. there's no call to action
in this one
at all. i just don't get it!
obviously it's not a problem or anything. i'm just curious
mainly. to
me, spamming seems to be just a huge waste of time anyway
(there can't
really be that many people who actually click on links in
spam, can
there??), but this one takes the cake!

No... gmail.

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.

How do I mark messages as spam in mac mail

I get numerous messages per day from "Daemon" returning mail supposedly sent from my email address. Unknown domain names, several with .ru (Russia?) suffix and message is in Cyrhillic. I read the info about how spammers can 'steal' legitimate email addresses and make messages appear to be from legitimate email addresses
I have been 'bouncing' each message, but hasn't slowed down Daemon returning a new one to me.
My ISP said I should simply mark the Daemon messages as spam on my Mac.
I am not sure how to do this.. or if that would be a solution??
any ideas and/or advice gratefully received

Mark those messages as Junk mail;
and then create two Rules. One to send emails marked Junk to the Trash and one to send those particular emails directly to the Trash. Check to find what is common between those emails and use that in the Rule.
OT

Is there a comprehensive list of what X-Spam headers Apple Mail will look at when determining junk mail status?

Apple Mail has a preference to 'Trust junk mail headers in messages' but I can not find a list of what those headers are. By trial and error I've learned the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" will work (exactly that, no extra info), but I'd like to know what other options there are... particularly if I can send a score/rating back and have it look at that.
But I can't find a list of supported headers. The Internet is full of "common spam headers" and yet none of them actually seem to work -- and lots of people who can't get it working with spamassassin which is incredibly common...
So... is there such a list?

I'm in the process of trying to get this information for a client. Even with a paid AppleCare agreement, the only answer I'm getting is "look in the forums" and "look on the developer site" (although I have to give credit to the Tier-1 rep who's trying to help me.) The impression I'm getting is that they consider an exact list of header names to be proprietary information for some reason, and are going to great pains to try not to give out the information, but also to not create ill will amongst their customers by explicitly saying "that's proprietary".

Explosion of spam on iCloud mail

I am getting enormous amounts of spam on my mac.com account during the last few weeks. Today at 6pm the total is 13 already. I have been able to set junk mail rules in icloud mail so that most of then are caught, but I do not understand why Apple is not taking action.
I have another (non-apple) acoount that is about 25 years old by now, with similar problems occurring many years ago. Mail of that kind never gets through. My provider has a spam filter that works.
The spam I am getting now has a few things in common. It is all from US companies, with addresses listed in their mails, and an unsubscribe link (which I refuse to use). They use sender addresses like [email protected] (with arbitrary garbage before the @). A week ago I got lost of mails from similar companies from the address [email protected]
All of this is easy to filter out, but of course these criminals (the only correct way to decribe these people) will think of something else every week.
My main question: What can I do???
I have sent many of these mails to [email protected], but this seems to have no effect.
Why does Apple not use its massive legal department to go after these criminals? If they are "legitimate" companies, with addresses, they can be sued, right? Is there anything in US law that makes unsollicited advertisement with an unsubscribe like legitimate?

I am receiving at least 20-30 spam emails a day on my iCloud account from domains like that one.
Here are a few:
[email protected]
*@gil.com.au
*@esa.icsg-cloud.com
*@sdgveDt8.mac.com
*@createfreewebsite.org
*@gradehone.com
*@facteur.louisiana.edu
*@Wikipedia-K5P.org
I have turned off remote images loading and emailed spam@icloud every time I have received them, but to no avail.
It is getting ridiculous Apple does not have a usable email system with a good spam detection (like Gmail does). I'm going to have to stop using my Apple account because this is getting out of hand.

How to identify a message as Spam in the mail program?

If ipad mail shows me a message that is clearly spam, what do I do? Does the ipad filter spam at all?

bobgoldstein wrote:

Not necessarily.
My ISP uses SPAM Assassin and I get a single email every day identifying all SPAM.
I can then go and have it not marked as SAPM/whitelisted/redilvered.

Scam e-mail asking for personal details

I have received an e-mail purporting to be from Apple asking for my personal details, my account being suspended until I do so. Is this a scam?
The address is:-http://www.sto4.cz/myappleaccountmessageview-ticketid8914546901357849182-wuasecu reapple/

May be. Avoid it.
