Yes, a Junk Mail question

Hi,
I'm unable to cope with all the junk mail on my iphone. I'm looking to have a setup just like mail on my computer. If there is a link to a way to set up something I'd appreciate it. I'm surprised that mail on the iphone does not have this ability, but I'm sure there is a good reason.
Thanks,
John

It is a problem. The only fix at the moment is to forward your mail through an account that has server-side junk filtering such as Gmail (Google Mail).

Junk Mail Question

I have my junk mail filter enabled and it appears to be working OK as far as filtering. However, I have two mailboxes and can't get the junk filter to put junk mail into the correct mailbox; i.e., all incoming junk mail is being delivered to one mailbox rather than be directed to the appropriate incoming junk mail box. What do I need to do?
Thanks

The email you are receiving contains your email address in the bcc field, which is only visible to the sender of the message. This method is sometimes used for spam and legitimate mail to hide the email addresses of the other recipients.

Mail : Junk Mail, does it still learn ?

Hello,
My question is :
First, when you begin to use Mail there is, in Preferences-> Junk Mail, a learning mode. So you can mark messages that seem to be spam and Mail learns to recognize them. Then, after a while, you switch to the "automatic mode" and Mail put the spam in the Junk box.
But, in the automatic mode, when you mark messages as spam, does it improve the knowledge of Mail about spam ?

Yes - the Junk Mail filter continues to learn (or should if working properly) when set to Automatic.
The ONLY difference between Training and Automatic is messages automatically or manually marked as Junk when received are moved to the account's Junk mailbox automatically.

As a new user I received an answer to my question but how do I stop the barrage of incoming mail - local advisor suggested Junk mail, but is this the answer?

In addition to Corky's suggestion on the right hand side of your profile page is this box:
Click Manage email notifications. This manages any current email notifications you are receiving.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Question: Junk Mail: How to extract groups of emails to add to blocked senders.

Hi Ernie
I need to find a way to extract lists of emails from Junk mail folder and add them en masse to blocked senders, without having to add them to my blocked senders one by one.
I have had the same email address for too long to change it, but I receive huge amounts of junk mail. I have so far barred nearly 2000 senders and have 1100 sitting in my junk folder form the last week. I barred them one by one, using RULES function...I simply cannot keep doing this.
I have MacBook Pro running Mavericks, plus iPad plus iPhone 5.
The problem is aggravated by the fact that Apple has a weakness in Mail: I may bar thousands of senders on my Mac, but the filter does not sync the barred addresses to my iPad or iPhone, so if I use Mail on either, I get many thousands of emails at once and have to mark them one by one to delete. It's ridiculous.
To solve this problem, I have decided to do is block all the senders in webmail.
However I still have the same problem with extracting multiple addresses from my junk mail folder in order to copy them into blocked senders list.
Genius Bar said it can't be done. I think they're wrong. There simply as to be (a) a location on my Mac where I can find a list of all those I have already barred; (b) a way to extract email addresses from groups of received mail.
I'd be grateful for some advice, please.

Is there nobody ot there who has a solution to my problem, please?

Question about training junk mail

In Mail I've set the Junk preference as 'Move it to the Junk Mailbox', but it's missing quite a few junk mails & delivering them to my Inbox.
So I thought I'd set it to 'Leave it on my Inbox... (Training)' & mark them manually for a while.
I'm thinking that if I train Mail to recognise all the junk mail for a while I'll be able to switch it back to 'Move it to the Junk Mailbox' & should catch the junk mail that it previously missed.
Am I right in thinking this?
If so then how long (roughly) should I train junk mail for? If not any suggestions on what might be the best thing to do?
(Would leaving the setting at 'Move it to the Junk Mailbox' but clicking the Rest button in preferences help?)

What Dan said. The junk filter never stops learning, and learns the same regardless of the mode of operation. What trains the filter is manually marking messages as either junk or not junk when Mail fails to correctly identify them.
The only difference between Training and Automatic modes is whether junk mail is automatically moved to a separate Junk mailbox or not. Keeping junk mail in the Inbox is called Training mode simply because nobody in his/her right mind would want to keep doing that after having trained the filter for some time. The filter could be set Automatic mode right away without that having any adverse impact on its training.

Junk Mail & Yahoo Group Question

Using Mail with Snow Leopard, .mac.com email account. I belong to a Yahoo group and mail from the group is consistently marked as junk and moved to the junk folder. I have a rule set up to move mail with the standard [Name of Group] in the subject line to a folder for that group. If I set junk mail to filter after running rules, those emails are handled properly, but I get tons of junk mail. If I set junk mail to filter before running rules, mail from the group are incorrectly marked as junk. I have to add each individual to my address book, not something that's simple to do, since the group is quite large. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I would simply use the current rule that works like you want up to a certain point and then add a delete and stop.

TS4002 How can I change iCloud junk mail settings from my iPhone?

I have junk mail filtering turned on in iCloud. If it incorrectly tags mail as junk it is easy to correct using the web interface but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it from iPhone. How can you mark mail as junk / not junk from iOS? Matters are made worse in that it is not even possible to access the web app from an iOS device?

Yes! Fine if you have a computer and of course that's exactly what I do. But it is a bit frustrating! iOS and iCloud are supposed to be seamlessly integrated and this seems like a big omission. And with the push towards iOS devices being completely independent devices, unhooked from a computer, this seems like something that should be improved upon. Seems minor, but if you use your iOS device as your primary email client it is a real hassle. I'd be surprised if nobody else is frustrated by this. Anyone? How do you go about nagging Apple to sort it out?

Hi Carpetman81,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to change what is junk mail. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Can't get rid of pesky junk mail

I use the Apple Mail Version 6.5 (1508) application for my emails. I have found the Junk Mail feature to be very helpful. If I label a message "Junk," It is treated as junk when I receive the same message later on. However, there is one pesky junk mail that is being sent to me about 5 times per week that ignores the junk mail label and does not go to the trash. After labeling it Junk several times, I gave up and went to the Rules function and made a rule that, when it is received, it is to be deleted. That works just fine on my Mac, but I know it is still being sent because it still shows up on the email app on my iPhone.
Questions:
1. Why doesn't Mail succeed in tagging that message as Junk so that it will go to Junk Mail like all the other stuff?
2. Is there anything I can do to force that message to Junk Mail? I'd rather not have to use Rules to get rid of it.
3. Is there any kind of Junk Mail filter available for an iPhone 4S that runs on iOS 6.1.3? I've submitted that to Apple as a suggestion, but, of course, I've had no reply.
Thanks for any assist you can give.

I went to my provider's web site and set my email Rule to delete any message containing the unique name used in the sender. So far the string of emails has stopped, but sometimes spammers take holidays off, so I'll wait to see what happens later, but I'm really excouraged as of now. Thanks again for the suggestion.

OS X 10.5.6 Junk Mail Folder won't let me see inside

I posted this question already this morning but the post is now missing.... I need help. I deleted a tabbed folder attached to the junk mail folder without realizing that that folder was the junk mail folder for my account. Now, I can see that there is Junk mail (it says 25) but when I hit the Junk Mail folder icon, it shows that folder is missing.... I need to get the 2 re-connected so that I can see the contents of this folder.
If I go to the Finder and open the Junk Mail folder in my user/lib/mail account, I can view the junk mail if I drag them over the Mail application icon.
How can I get the Junk mail folder "reintialized" ?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Lori
I can't get any lower than my documents folder. I have multiple folders inside my documents folderFirstly, I take it you have clicked the disclosure triangle to the right of the "Save As" box? This should then show you a list of folders. Double click on one, and you'll see it's content, including other folders that you can double click, to as low a level as you like.
Is there something I need to set in System Preferences?No, this should be standard behaviour.

Junk Mail Sreening dosn't flag spam

Hello,
I'm trying to get "Junk Mail Sreening" (as they call it in the manual) to work but having little or no success.
We're running on a 10.4.6 Server and configuration chnages have been made with "Server Admin".
First thing I did was enabling virus scanning which worked right out of the box, wih one single exception:
Infected mails won't get deleted as configered in SA but rather will be quarantined in /var/virusmails.
However what doesn't seen to work is junk mail screening.
Here are the relevant settings from within Server Admin in SA's plist format:
<key>required_hits</key>
<integer>5</integer>
<key>spam_action</key>
<string>deliver</string>
<key>spam_enabled</key>
<true/>
<key>spamloglevel</key>
<string>warn</string>
<key>spamnotifyadmin</key>
<false/>
<key>spamnotify_adminemail</key>
<string>[email protected]</string>
<key>spamoklanguages</key>
<string>en fr de</string>
<key>spamoklocales</key>
<string>en</string>
<key>spam_quarantine</key>
<string>[email protected]</string>
<key>spamrewritesubject</key>
<true/>
<key>spamscanenabled</key>
<true/>
<key>spamsubjecttag</key>
<string>* JUNK MAIL *</string>
which result in the folling settings within /etc/amavisd.conf
$satag_leveldeflt = -999;
$satag2_leveldeflt = 5.0;
$sakill_leveldeflt = 22.0;
$saspam_subjecttag = '* JUNK MAIL *';
$saspam_modifiessubj = 1;
I then sent myself ([email protected] in the following log) a GTUBE junk mail (see http://spamassassin.apache.org/gtube/) from a mail account in a different domain (here: mail.sender.org) which should trigger the recognition of that particular mail being spam and to take the appropriate action as defined in SA.
Here's what's in /var/log/amavisd.log:

As ar as I see, SpamAssassin gets called and rates the mail as spam with a hit-rate of 1000.124 using its buil-in rule GTUBE (see line 6 of the log)
Since the hit rate is far above $sakill_leveldeflt, I would expect both addition of X-Spam-Deteced headers and modification of the mail's subject line, but not even spam-info-headers are added to the mail. The only header that gets added (and the only proof that makes me believe the mail really has gone through amavisd screening) is
X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at mail.receiver.com
Curently this looks like a major problem in amavisd but I have no clue what to do now.

10.6 Clean server Junk Mail Says Stopped

Hello,
I migrated from 10.4 and had all sorts of troubles so I started with a clean 10.4 server, imported users and groups and brought the email back without touching the settings to stay clean. Ran the upgrade to 10.6 and updates.
Now the server says Junk Mail Filtering and Virus Filtering stopped in the overview. In settings I have a hyphen in junkmail and a full tick in virus.
Because of many complaints of greylisting I disable that. (osx.topicdesk.com)
Any ideas for the stopped condition. The main.cf looks cluttered, I haven't seen that much in the cf before...

I had to rebuilt my mailserver from scratch. I think that if you modded the main.cf and/or master.cf files in postfix, then that prevents you from using Server Admin to make changes to your setup. I.e., once you go manual, you're outside of SA for good. Then when you migrate to SLS it copies over the old config files. I was able to get it working by using the default main.cf file, but then I ended up just setting up the whole thing again.
Interestingly today virus checking stopped working. Or rather it was unable to update itself. I was able to turn off the virus filter, reload postfix, and turn it back on, reload postfix, then it started working again. So, after a fresh from scratch install, SA works just fine. Lesson: don't manually monkey with your main.cf file or (in your case possibly) migrate from a manually altered one.

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".

Yes, a Junk Mail question
