Unwanted iChat Icon on all outgoing mail

How do I get rid of the rose picture from iChat which appears on every e-mail I send out?
Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   20"

Hi
Actually, nobody else is seeing that image; it only appears for you in your Sent Mail folder (just as contacts for whom you have set an image will show that image in their emails sent to you).
The only way you can remove it is to delete the image from your "Me" contact in Address Book.

  • Adding disclaimer to all outgoing mail

    I would like to start adding a "disclaimer" or signature to the bottom of all outgoing mails
    eg
    Please note that the contents of this e-mail, including any
    attachments etc etc etc
    Is there a way of configuring postfix to do this for me without corrupting the outgoing mail.

    There is no easy and, most importantly, reliable way of doing this at the postfix level. Full stop!
    If you need this to be done, you have to do it at the client level (mail.app, squirrelmail, outlook, etc.).
    For the technically inclined: An e-mail written by a user on the mail client can be plain text, images only, html, contain attachments etc. Thus it is encoded (mime) and passed on to the MTA (postfix). To be able to add a footer at this stage, the MTA would have to decode the mail message, add a footer and re-encode the message. Besides the technical implications it will also be a performance hit on your mail server. Furthermore, chances are your mail will get messed up in the process.
    Look at the source of an e-mail with let's say attachments in Mail.app (View-Message-Raw Source) and you will notice that except for the headers, what follows is mainly gibberish (that's the mime encoded bit).
    For the not so technically minded and a good laugh, see here:

    You cannot, but you can delete the mail in your Sent folder.

  • Dislaimer for all outgoing mails, excepting some domains?

    I'm still trying to add a Disclaimer to all outgoing mails. Actually, I need some help to add such a Disclaimer to nearly all outgoing mails, excepting some specific domains and for the right syntax:
    I know that I can add a message filter with the action 'add-footer' through CLI like this:
    if (recv listener == "OutboundMail" AND (not only-body-contains ('some unique text from my company disclaimer'),1)
    {add-footer('name of previously in GUI added dislcaimer-text');}
    else
    { deliver();}
    My questions:
    a) How can I prevent such a Disclaimer for every recipient in the domain "@company-without-disclaimer.com"?
    b) How should I write that for multiple recipient-domains without disclaimer?
    c) Is it important to write the listener-name and the disclaimer-name in the above code with ' (single quote) or " (double quotes)?
    d) Are the brace brackets {} set correct?
    e) Should I enter the entire disclaimer-text for the body-scan? I'm not sure if our actually one is 'unique' - maybe other companies has the same or a very similar one. Should I add multiple parts to looking for? How do you do that?
    Thank you for every help in advance!

    I can't figure out how to add the NOT-command.
    It works for me as written in my previous example.
    And could you please tell me something to my other questions c), d) and e)?
    "C" and "d" are very basic questions documented in the "Message Filters" section of the Advanced User Guide. Single or double quotes are both fine. The curly braces are probably OK as you've written them, but putting whitespace around them might be necessary (the docs don't say).
    As for the disclaimer text, that's hard to get perfect. It depends on your threat model. If you just want to be reasonably well assured that it gets put in, then pick out some bit of the disclaimer that is unlikely to appear elsewhere and check for that. But if you want to make sure that your own people can't spoof the process by embedding that bit in a message in order to avoid getting the disclaimer (not a likely threat in my opinion), then you'd need to check for the whole thing. Depending on how long it is, it might be safer to check for it piecemeal rather than all at once. I really can't say since I've never tried this. Or you could just add the footer unconditionally. At worst, you'd only end up with multiple instances of the footer in some messages, and it would only be in those messages which pass through your ESA more than once.

  • Trouble with all outgoing mail servers

    Was there an update that would have knocked out my ability to send outgoing mail?  I can still receive mail from gmail.com, live.com and a business email account that had all been working fine till about a week ago.  I had not made any changes, but have since changed the outgoing port to 587, to no avail.  I have also tried to Repair Disk Permissions using the Disk Utility.  However, I still am not able to get the smtp servers to connect. 
    Any ideas?

    I have cleared my outbox and resent a test email from one account to the other, which I know is receiving emails.  I am using the Apple Mail application, which had been working just fine with all 3 accounts for the past 2 years. 

  • All outgoing mail marked as Junk.

    My junk mail has gone crazy ever since I got my Intel iMac seven weeks ago. I tried the training feature, but it kept marking mail as junk after I'd changed it to not junk over and over and over again. Still does. It also marked every outgoing mail as junk mail.
    After five weeks with no improvement, I switched the setting to Automatic, and I immediately got 932 emails in my new Junk Mail box, many of which I'd never seen before. Two weeks later, Mail is still sending previously marked not junk mail to my junk mail box and marking almost every email that I send as junk. It's supposed to exempt mail in which the sender is in my address book or in my previous recipients or is addressed to my full name, but it totally ignores that.
    At the same time I got my Intel iMac, I set up my G4 precisely the same including Tiger and all sofware. Ever since I've had precisely the same problems with Mail on my G4.
    How can I get the junk mail feature to work?

    Thanks for your help, Allan. I downloaded Windows Media Player 9 on my G4 at home last night, and it solved that problem.
    I knew about Flip4Mac, but I was hoping the vast collective wisdom of this group might have found something that works now on Intel iMacs. I’ve downloaded Parallels, but I haven't been able to download Windows Media Player in that yet. My issue du jour is that I can’t type anything in any browser window and their tech support isn’t responding to my emails.
    When Parallels works though, it’s vastly superior to Virtual PC. I’m hoping the final version will have ironed out the Beta problems.
    Thanks again.

  • IMS5.1 copy all outgoing mail to one mailbox

    Is there a way to copy all outgoing messages at the server level to one particular mailbox?
    Thank you in advance.

    Could you use an mta wide sieve filter that would forward a copy and keep a copy in the imap folder?
    i.e.
    If you want to keep a copy on the imap-server you can specify an explicit keep:
    redirect "[email protected]";

  • How do you make all outgoing mail on iPhone come from one default address?

    I have multiple Apple devices which include laptop, iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s.  I use several email accounts for my business.  How do you make the default outgoing email address one the iPhones one email address like you can on the laptop?  I want the outgoing email address to be the same on all devices.

    Thank you.  I think I got it for the 4 but not for the 4S.  In mail, contacts, calendars, do you choose default account?  Also, there does not appear to be a choice like this for the icloud.  How do you change the default on it?  The best I can see is icloud to account to advanced to mail to icloud account information.  On that screen there is a box that says allow sending from and the only choices you have are the icloud account and me account.  I do not see how to add another account if that is the right section.  I don't want the icloud or the me to be a return address.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Outgoing mail with unwanted indelible picture

    hi,
    My MAIL program has a mind of it's own: each outgoing e-mail is sent out with a picture automatically pasted on; I tried several ways to undo it, but to no avail.
    Could someone let me me know:
    1) how to choose whether or not do I want a picture to be pasted on the outgoing mail
    and, even more important,
    2) at least to give me the choice of the picture to be pasted
    Right now the indelible picture that is invariably sent out with each and every mail is one of his own choice from photo-booth. I even deleted all the pictures I had residing on photo-booth, which is now empty, but the outgoing mail still paste THAT picture that was previously on photo-booth, on all outgoing mail.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Welcome to the discussions, piera.
    Are you sure the picture is actually being sent? If I look in my mailboxes at mail I have received, mail will look for the sender in the addrress book, and if it finds an associated picture it will put that picture on the right end of the header portion of the message. The picture does not come with, and is not part of, the mail message.
    Likewise if I look in my Sent mailbox mail will add my login picture to the header bar - but the picture has not been sent with the outgoing message. If you don't like the picture you can change it System Preferences/Accounts. I don't think you can have no picture, but you could make a picture of a blank space and use that.

  • User account icon attached to outgoing messages

    I was wondering if there is a way to keep Mail from attaching my user account icon to all outgoing messages. Thanks.

    it's not actually attached to outgoing messages and your e-mail recipients won't see it.

  • Load balancing outgoing mail with 3 outgoing servers

    We are trying to balance our mail out with 3 separate mail servers from our incoming server. Our organization sends alot of mail and we wanted to balance it with 3 outgoing SMTP servers. We have them all working, in the zone for the primary DNS and incoming mail server. And we can get mail to go out on the three servers, BUT and this is a problem if the mail includes any messages to the network (hence the incoming server) then the SMTP servers complain they cannot find it and give a error message about not being able to connect to deliver any local mails out of the bulk mail we send. Any ideas how to get the SMTP to see the incoming mail server (which is the DNS server for network) and deliver mail to accounts on the network? Maybe we are doing something that OS X SNL server cannot do? Any ideas.
    I will post the error message later but I need to leave for meeting for now.
    Thanks

    Here is error message we get:
    Mar 17 21:34:45 mailout1 postfix/smtp[32307]: connect to mail.vineyardil.net [173.161.44.97]:25 Operation timed out
    Mar 17 21:34:45 mailout1 postfix/smtp[32307]: DE90A1AF591: to =<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=23732, delays=23701/0.01/30/0, dsn4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mail.vineyardil.net [173.161.44.97]:25 Operation timed out)
    To explain mailout1 is the first one in priority of outgoing separate SMTP servers we set up in the zone of mail.vineyardil.net which is the DNS server. They send out ok all outgoing mail to other addresses as we wanted them (rather than having mail.vineyardil.net do it) but when we send to an address with vineyardil.net on it then we get this same message.
    It seems like mailout1 cannot send to the incoming server. Note the ip address it gives is the ip of the cable modem on this network not the ip address locally in the net we have.
    Our MX records all look good and things work with mail if we use it both as incoming and outgoing (SMTP) but when we use the secondary servers for outgoing they seem to not be able to send to this server. Is there something we should look for?
    Is SL server not capable of what we are trying? Any feedback would be most appreciated. We would like to really use this setup as I explained to do load balancing of mail as part of our attempt on this new network to get our bulk mailing split up between the 3 outgoing servers so we will not be labeled spam by the security systems out there these days like it was on our old network.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Sender check for outgoing mail

    Hi,
    I want to enabled sender check on all outgoing mail. i.e ironport should check if the from address is listed in my ldap.
    This is required because spammer is sending mails by compromising legitimate users credentials and sending mail through out setup.
    all the spam mails which are quarantine on ironport are having invalid from addresses.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    HOmesh

    Deploying SPF (Sender Policy Framework) might decrease such incoming mail traffic using your email domain namespace as forged senders in SMTP envelopes.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
    To deploy SPF using it's most strictiest policy, you must be able to declare legimate sources where the mail from your domain can be originated from. Ip source addresses, netblocks, FQDN names, reverse domains, etc.
    If you have one singe (or clustered) C-series mail router in DMZ and all the mail traffic from @yourdomain.com can be routed outbound fvia these C-series boxes only, then you can setup your SPF records that way, that only your C-series box(es) are legimate mail sources.
    If you use RFC 1918 private addressing internally, that's it.
    If you use public, routable ip addressing internally, you might need to add that network into your SPF record, but it depends how the mail traffic is routed there.
    The configure your Ironport C-series appliances using SPF. If you have inbound forged mail coming in and if the source ip addr of SMTP peer is not listed in your SPF records and if you use strictiest SPF policy, your C-series appliance will reject these inbound connections.

  • Outgoing mail problem

    hello mac users...
    having problems with mac mail, again. spontaneously, without any changes to my system, i am not able to send mail. am able to receive, and am able to communicate with the outgoing mail server (as per a check with the system administrator) but all outgoing mail is held in my out box and i receive a generic error message when attempting to send mail. i had a problem with mail before that was remedied by deleting the envelope folder from the mail library, tried that again this time, to no avail...
    any suggestions?

    You are able to send messages.
    If a message cannot be sent for whatever reason, it will remain in the Outbox mailbox with an error message provided.
    A message will not be moved to the account's Sent mailbox unless it was successfully sent by the SMTP server used by the account. Open any message in the account's Sent mailbox and at the menu bar, go to View > Message and select Long Headers.
    Information in the Message ID field (ends with @mac.com or the domain for the email account provider used to send the message) is another indication the message was successfully sent.
    A successfully sent message is either accepted or rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server. Due to spammers using "dictionary" attacks - guessing at email addresses for an email account provider's domain and not providing a valid sending or return email address, many ISP's and email account providers are no longer sending a return email error message to the sender of a message when a message is not accepted by recipient's incoming mail server.
    If a message is accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server, what happens to the message after that has nothing to do with the email client used.
    Although for the most part, messages are received in a matter of seconds but not always since successfully sent messages do not take a straight line from the account's SMTP server to the recipient's incoming mail server.
    I completely reformatted my secondary hard drive, installed a
    new system only and configured my mail account from scratch
    and the problem is still there. I have also cleared the cache's using
    Onyx, repaired permissions, even removed the battery to reset
    other setting, but nothing has helped.
    None of this has any effect or helps in this situation since these messages were successfully sent.
    Contact your providers and ask if there is anything they can do with the Message IDs for these successfully sent messages.

  • Change Email Subject of Outgoing mails

    Hello Folks,
    I have a requirement wherein I need to add a text "[Test Mail]" in the email subject of all outgoing mails from our dev/test systems. This is to ensure that the end users who are the receipients are able to distinguish the emails sent out by the test system from the emails sent out by the actual production system.
    Do let me know if anyone out here has developed something similar or can provide some advice/help into this matter.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Brad,
    We are mainly using CL_BCS as well as FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 in the system. The problem here is that there is no one fixed/common approach being followed. So I need to understand if there is a way by which I can access all the outgoing mails from the system and change the subject.
    One option that I thought was to find out some enhancements or BADIs within CL_BCS and FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to manipulate the subject line before the mail is sent out. This would  cover most of the cases where mails are sent out from the system, but I am not sure if the mails can be sent out by any other means as well.

  • Mail: other smtp options for outgoing mail?

    I'm sure many of you have switched over to the iPhone from a Blackberry so you'll know what I'm about to talk about. How do I change the "from" field of any outgoing mail? When you setup a mail account on a Blackberry you only need an email account, username and passwd. I'm not sure but I think Blackberry uses the same smtp for all outgoing mail and just changes the "from" field of the message to match your account right? You don't enter any type of smtp or pop3 information when you set up a Blackberry.
    Here's the problem: School email is set as an imap server but there is no internet smtp server, only an intranet available smtp. If your on campus you can use the campus smtp but if your not you need an external smtp. Setting this up on a Blackberry is as simple as email, user and passwd. (there are no server settings) On the iPhone you need server settings but there is no smtp server available! Putting in a gmail or yahoo server will work but then your sending from that smtp and any replies go to that account. I need to be able to send through the gmail or yahoo or whatever smtp and still let the recipient reply to my school account. Anyone got a work around for this?
