TS3276 Mail Delivery Failure Msgs for emails I Never Sent

On Feb 7 I received 37 Mail Delivery Failure messages, but I never sent any of these emails. I was not even on my Time Warner email account that day. This is a recurring issue. Any suggestions?

Potential Spam. I would also change my e-mail password just in case your account has been hacked.

Mail delivery failure messages for email I have not sent to contacts I do not know.

I am receiving Mail delivery failure messages for emails I have not sent; they are addressed to contacts I've never heard of, many different. Apparently, this is some kind of spam but I don't know what to do about it.

There is nothing you can do about it. It will stop at some point.

TS2755 Getting delivery failure notices for messages I never sent

How do I stop getting dozens and dozens of delivery failure notces in my email for emails I never sent? Is this spam? Or have I been hacked?

Well what is it? Google? Yahoo?
Go to safari and launch whatever website you do to check it on a computer. Then somewhere in the settings im sure you can find password. Change it on your account(webpage), then update the new password in settings/mail on the ipad.

HT1277 I receive delivery failed emails for emails I never sent

I receive "delivery failed" emails for emails I never sent to email addresses I don't recognize. Who do I contact?

Welcome to the Internet. Here, have some spam. :-)
You're either being spammed (and your mail filters aren't fully dialed in and set to ignore or delete this dreck), or your email address was forged (as the return address) by a spammer sending out messages to others and folks that don't know how to properly configure and operate an email servers are now causing collateral damage by reflecting that spam run back at you. (No spammer really wants to deal with all those bounced messages, after all.)
It's possible that your mail address has been acquired by a spammer, but it's equally possible that - if your email address has a common name or string to the left of the @ sign - that the spammers determined your address by brute force, too.
And yes, make sure your email passwords are not in the stock attack dictionaries (the list of the five or ten thousand most common passwords are widely known), and (if your ISP permits it) use SSL/TLS (encrypted) transports to access your ISP mail server.

Failure Notices for Messages I never Sent

Months ago I sought help here for mysterious outgoing messages I worried were the result of some kind of malware. Most of those who responded did so with ridicule, asserting what we all believe, that Macs have very little vulnerability to such things. I know this, but now I'm getting "failure return notices" every day. Could someone take a look at a long header from one of these and tell me whether this is just some new form of spam or whether I should do something to clean my system. I've tried all the ClamV and McAfee applications but neither found anything. ClamV was unable to connect for an update, though. Anyway, here is the header.

The body says that it failed because it did not pass through the recipient server's spam filter. Again, I'm getting these every day and they are all about ViAGGRa and CIALLis and the usual annoying spam stuff. Is this coming from my system? Somehow I have more faith in people here than in the young people I get when I've call YAHOO.
Here is the complete body of one of the messages, very typical:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its
recipients after more than 24 hours on the queue on mail.init.lt.
The message identifier is: 1OEIZM-0000w9-3S
The subject of the message is: have a time for bbBuyying viaiqra suoper acctive
The date of the message is: Tue, 18 May 2010 13:50:31 +0400
The address to which the message has not yet been delivered is:

No action is required on your part. Delivery attempts will continue for
some time, and this warning may be repeated at intervals if the message
remains undelivered. Eventually the mail delivery software will give up,
and when that happens, the message will be returned to you.

I'm getting mail delivery failure notifications quoting email addresses I don't recognize. Is someone using my server identity?

Hi. I've been getting several email delivery failure notifications recently. I don't recognize the email addresses quoted. Is it possible that someone has hacked into my mail account?

Either that, or someone is forging your reply address on mail that wasn't sent from your account at all. To tell the difference, you would have to log into your mail account on the Web and check for unusual activity.

Delivery failure report for mail

Hi,
I have two queries on mails
While sending mail to single/multiple users,
1. Is it possible to get the delivery failure report for the unsent mails and the user to whom it was not posted?
2.Can the sent mail be posted to the sender's sent mailbox.
Thanks
Neha

Hi Neha,
1) If you set up an account for xMII on your mail server, then you should be able to use the "Read Mail" action to monitor that account's inbox for any delivery failure reports. You should then be able to parse the format of the message (which depends on your mail server) and retrieve the email address.
2) I don't think this can be done because it's something that your email client (e.g. Outlook) normally takes care of and is not supported in the SMTP protocol to my knowledge.
Hope this helps
Sascha

Create a rule on mail delivery failure

Hello,
Is it possible to create a rule in the Groupwise client, that when a message bounce back (mail delivery failure) from our relay provider, that the email will be forwarded to an internal recipient.
At the moment I cant get it to work. Moving that bounced email to a folder in Groupwise does work.

Move mail to folder called Undeliverable
then
Forward message as attachment (my preferred forward method to preserve mime header information) to [designated address]
End Rule Processing
I've tested the above rule and it works perfectly on my GW8.0.2HP2 system with GW8.0.2HP3 client.
Perhaps post more details of your rule here and we can assist you with troubleshooting it.
Cheers,
I have a very similar issue to this. If I have a bounce back, I want to have that email address extracted to another doc... can be anything... TXT file, Word, Excel.... just something where I can maintain bad emails. Any Ideas anyone?

How to distingush delivery failure notices & bad email addresses

Hello, All:
Is there a standard for the format(content, subject, headers, etc) of delivery failure notices?
What would you do if you want to get the bad email address (Undelivery address) from the delivery failure notice? Is there a systematic way to get the bad email address instead of earching for the address string in the email?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, the exception SendFailedException only happens when any of the recipient addresses is detected to be invalid by the "Transport" during message submission. It is not exactly the same as the user email does not exists.
I have tried the SendFailedException and functions you suggested. The transport does not give this exception even though the recipent's address is not valid :(..
I think the JavaMail code passes the email message to the SMTP server, the SMTP deals with the actually sending. Therefore, JavaMail code can not get its hand on the invalid email addresses.
Thanks!

In Gmail getting mail delivery failure

My mail is working after changing my password on all mail accounts.

"You must reset your password. Check inbox for email we just sent you." Not at old or new.

I've been trying all day to change my email address associated with my Adobe account, using Firefox, my default browser. I am able to access my acct (old e-address), make changes in account, but then the screen displays:
Required Password Reset: To protect the security of your account, you must reset your password. Please check your inbox for an email we just sent you with instructions for how to reset your password and log into your account.
I have checked both email accts throughout the day, including spam folders. Cleared browser history etc. Tried using Internet Explorer. And every other action they recommend.
How can I get through the Password Reset Wall?
Thanks,
Sandra

Thanks, Dave. I think your link helped to solve my problem. Now that I have a new password, I'd like to ask this: Is making changes to your account so difficult for others? I ask because changing my password wasn't even the reason I was accessing my Adobe account.
What I really want to do is to switch primary (1) and alternate (2) email addresses. I have a third (3) email address, which I can use for this process. For example, my idea is to replace (2) with (3), then (1) with (2), then (3) with (1). [I had already tried switching them; a lost cause.]
I replaced (2) with (3). BUT! "An email has been sent to your inbox. Please check your email to complete verification."
But I check all three email addresses and spam folders in each, several (m@any) times in a day, and that email never arrives. Even when I try making a different change.
And all this so that I can prepare to purchase Adobe XI and have all communication between Adobe and me at that (currently) #2 address, which is the one I use for almost everything, and to keep all my receipts, software and hardware correspondence, and oh everything.
Thanks for reading so far; if you (or anyone) have another way to accomplish this, please let me know.
