Why is /etc/services full of email addresses?

No other Unix system (I've ever used) stuffs email addresses between each port group (in the comments). What's the deal?

  • N Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.  Anybody have any idea how to stop this?

    In Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.? Anybody have any idea how to stop Mail from including my email address in the cc line when using "reply all"?

    Automatically cc myself is not checked.  I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab.  Thanks

  • HT204053 I have iPad 2 and recently changed my Internet Service Provider and email address. I have created a new Apple I.D. and password but when I try to access or open my iPad 2 I am asked for the password for my previous email address.

    I have iPad 2 and recently changed my Internet Service Provider and email address. When I switch on the iPad I am asked for my password for
    my previous providerwhich when entered is not acceptable. I am told to create a new passord but this only changes the password for my current
    address. I am now unable to access iPad and I need to know how to circumvent this.

    Roger, thank you.  I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address.  Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
    So now what do I do?  Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
    And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for.

    SMTP stands for Simple Mail Protocol and is basically what handles your outbound emails.

  • Why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

    why does aol not auto enter email addresses when I compose an email?

    what a ridiculous decision to change from "starts with" to "contains".
    I have a further problem - having selected the address I want from the umpteen options pulled from my address book, I then press enter to add another line for another address.....and the first address I selected changes to a completely different address!
    And also addresses from the address book which previously appeared only in black now randomly appear in red.
    help please!

  • HT4191 why do you need yet another email address to sync notes

    Is there a way to sync ipad notes with an imac desktop without opening up yet another unwanted "email" address?  Why do compaines constantly demand that you open up email addresses through all of them? 

    Notes are very special, their sync is done by IMAP(mail) server that syncs our emails. In order to sync notes you "have to" be connected to that IMAP and mail account is "your connection". BTW mail "ON" button will not sync your emails - it only syncs email settings between devices, like server rules, blocked servers, etc. It will not reflect on other icloud stuff, but what it will do is move your notes sync from current  sync ( if one exsits) to different. For example you notes currently can be local (on my phone), Yahoo or exchange like google. (you can check that by going to settings - mail contacts and calendars- and under your mail accounts you will see small "contacts" "calendars" and if you will see "notes" that would be your current syncing IMAP.

  • Why am I being told my email address has changed and need to change it for my apple id to work?

    Not just iTunes store, but every day or so, when I'm trying to check for updated apps in iTunes, or download something on iPhone or update OS X software via App Store, I'm told that my email address has changed and I need to update it before I can download tunes from iTunes.
    I then get redirected to a page where my apple id is shown (my email address), the address field is blank and a couple of password fields with ****** in them.
    I put my email address (apple id) back in and all is well.
    Why is it being reset all the time?
    I don't have another apple id with the same address, but I do have a lot of devices using my one apple id:
    A Mac (Lion latest)
    iPhone 4S (iOS5 latest)
    iPad 1 (iOS5 latest)
    iTunes on XP (latest iTunes)
    iPhone 3G (iPhone OS 3 - yea, really ancient)
    Apple TV 1 (latest)
    Wondering if one of these could be causing a reset.

    this can happen when the billing address in your appleid info is not EXACTLY the same as your bank details, depending of the bank (see if you right "st" instead "street" maybe)

  • Why can't I add additional email addresses to my Apple ID?

    In my family we share the same Apple ID.
    However, we would like to be able to use iMessage and Facetime amongst the different units (iPhones/iPads), which requires me to have several email addresses registered under the Apple ID, as all units (ie. the iPads) do not have associated phone numbers.
    However, when I add them directly under Settings -> Facetime/iMessage -> Add Another Email it gives me an error (unspecified - it just says an error occured), when it tries to verify my email.
    I then figured that I needed to have all these different email addresses registered to my Apple ID we all are using. Hence I went to appleid.apple.com and signed in to manage my Apple ID. I tried adding additional email addresses under "Add Email Address". But when I push "Save Changes" after having added another email address nothing happens. It just sits there.
    I have tried several different browsers on different Macs and even on the iPad, but all with the same result.
    Can anybody help?

    Hey Thomas,
    I was able to get my MobileMe email address verified tonight...  I logged into the Manage Apple ID website with my MobileMe email address and it again said it's own email address wasn't Verified.  So I tried, for the **** of it, to add an additional Alternate Email Address and added the MobileMe email address for which I was logged in as.  It immediately took the email and marked it verified with the green check mark.  The only thing, my MobileMe.com email address shows up as the Primary and then again listed under the Alternates.  I tried deleting the one listed under the alternate but it doesn't go away.  I'm just trilled it's now verified and I can log in and use my MobileMe email address in the iMessage, FaceTime and Find My Friends services!
    I still cannot, however, delete my MobileMe email address that's still listed as an un-Verified alternate on my old iTunes Apple ID, but it's not affecting the fact that my MobileMe email address is NOW verified on my MobileMe Apple ID!
    So all is finally working now, after a week, and after being on Apple's Express Lane Chat and to the store's Genius Bar on Thursday 10/20 which were both a joke.

  • Why can't I paste an email address

    that I've copied using my mouse from another email to the To, CC or BCC fields?  I've found that it works if I use the mouse to copy it but I have to paste it using the keyboard (control v).

    Apple has whole departments that enforce the uniformity of User Experience across the way Applications work. So it was puzzling to me at first why these should behave differently from, say Cut and Paste in a Word Processor.
    On closer examination, you generally are not selecting and cutting the middle six letters, or pasting with an insertion point into the middle of a field of letters. You are instead manipulating these email Addresses as "objects", and the drag-and-drop metaphor can be used to duplicate and re-use them.
    If you were to instead take only the firstname out of an Address (which is difficult, as mail wants to select the email Address as an "object" in its entirety), and paste it into the middle of a different field that is actually text, I think the right-click options should work as you expected.
    No offense taken. This forum format does not lend itself to subtlety in expression.

  • Why can't I copy contacts' email address from their name card in lync 2010

    so here is the issue I have, when I need to copy someone's email addresses or their phone numbers, normally I will find them on lync, move the cursor on them, and their name card will show up, then I move cursor to their email address or their phone numbers,
    right click it, there will be an option to "copy", right? but sometimes, right clicking doesn't work. that copy option just won't pop up, this issue happens randomly, I need to restart lync, then it will work again. Also, there is one thing
    that's weird, after I restart lync, whatever I have copied in the clipboard will disappear, like if I press ctrl+c to copy something from word, then this issue happened, I restart lync, I can copy information in lync name card again, but all that
    content I copied does not exist in clipboard anymore, I press ctrl+v, there is nothing coming out.
     this is not a big problem, but it's really annoying, does anyone know why this issue happen and how to permanently? I tried to reinstall, does not work.
    this issues happens with both lync 2010 32 bit on 32 bit win7 and lync 2010 64 bit on win7 64 bit.

    Hi,
    Please try to delete Lync user profile and information in registry.
    The path of Lync user profile: <user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Communicator\
    The path of Lync information in registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]
    Please also make sure Lync client update to the latest version.

  • Why can't i change my EMail address?

    Because my EMAIL address had been changed, i want to register new EMAIL address to my profile, but i find out that it can't be to change.
    Who can help me to change my EMAIL address?
    my new mail address is:
    [email protected]
    best regards,
    James huang

    Pants! No getting away from it, this is absolute pants!
    I've tried registering for a new account, using my existing username but to no avail. So I suppose I've got to create a new username, etc. I'm getting too old for remembering all my username/password combinations as it is, without having to invent new ones because of a poor design. You people should be setting the standard when it comes to things like this.
    Also, no wonder there are so many security holes caused by people using the same username &/or passwords across multiple accounts if they have to create a new user account when they only want to change their email address.
    Oracle - your design for this OTN membership scheme is poor & its not helping security. Fix it quickly, fix it now.

  • Why do I get an invalid email address when gifting an item or itunes gift card?

    I have read additional discussions and they have indicated not to use the contact but enter the actual email address itself. To no avail i continue to get the same error. Frustrated incorporated :-(

    bsat, thank you for helping out!
    I had tried using only one ncReset previously and was experiencing driver errors. I removed the second ncReset as you suggested and now it seems to work with only one. I cannot get it to fail like it was doing.
    However, at least one ncReset must be used or I get the following error:
    ERROR ncConfig CAN1: Driver error (qual=000b000)
    Press any key to continue
    I get this error even when the program terminates normally. For example:
    1) Build obj2obj with the ncReset command.
    2) Execute and allow to terminate normally.
    3) Edit obj2obj and remove ncReset command.
    4) Execute and the error message is displayed.
    Amazingly, I was also able to single step through most of the program this morning. I got the first three messages (of 10 total) before ge
    tting the error:
    Microsoft Visual C++
    First-chance exception in cctool.exe (NTDLL.DLL): 0xC0000008: Invalid Handle
    It seems to be more random than first appeared and perhaps more related to MSVC than to the NI-CAN card. Any insight?
    Also, having to include an ncReset is undesireable since I'd like to develop a CAN driver that could be called from multiple threads. I'd be very interested in your opinion on why I'm having trouble getting it to work without one.
    Thanks again for your help, it is greatly appreciated!

  • Web Services Setup -Printer Email Address

    I am having same problem locating the printer email address to setup eprint and I have the 910A; thoughts?

    Hi gligon,
    I'll be happy to help you set up ePrint for your printer.  
    I just have a few questions for you:  first, is the printer connected to your network?  If so, have you enabled Web Services?  
    Both of these factors will determine what we do from this point.

  • Why does Mail change the sender email address?

    My email address from work has a subdomain: "[email protected]".
    Although my mac Mail account is set up correctly with that email address in the account settings, when I send mail, users receive it showing that the sender (from:) is "[email protected]" - it drops the subdomain and replies to that address get bounced back.
    Does anybody know why this is happening?
    Thanks -

    In the From header of the copy of the message in teh sent box,
    it reads correctly as [email protected]
    Does this provide me a clue?
    Sure it does. What you see in Sent is what Mail sends to the outgoing (SMTP) server. If the message gets changed afterwards, some agent other than Mail (probably the outgoing server) is doing it...
    I know that Gmail’s outgoing server, for example, does this. In order to be able to use Gmail's SMTP server with another address, you must first enable that address in Gmail's Settings > Accounts page, and let Gmail validate it by verifying that you do indeed own it. If you don't do this, even though Mail will correctly send the message from the address you specify, Gmail's SMTP server will silently change it to the address associated with the Gmail account that corresponds to the username specified during SMTP authentication, instead of refusing to send the message as other SMTP servers would do in those circumstances.
