Re: Spam on devices

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Jennifer,

Spammers are getting smarter, and as long as they have your right server 
address, it doesn’t matter what name.
All you can do especially in POP email accounts in iOS12 is Mark the Spam 
messages as Junk & have move them to Junk:

Moving Spam Emails to the Junk Folder
The iOS Mail app offers a couple of ways to move mail to a Junk folder—even in 
bulk. 
Among the convenient features that come with an email account that is web-based 
is spam filtering right at the server. 
Moving mail to the Junk folder in iOS Mail notifies the spam filter at the 
server that it missed an unwanted spam email, so it can stop it next time.

To move a message to an account's Junk folder in iOS, open the inbox that 
contains the email:
With the spam message open:
Tap the flag button.
Select Move to Junk from the menu.
In the message list:
Swipe across the message from the right to left just enough to reveal the More 
menu. 
Tap More
Select Mark
Select Move to Junk


Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Spam on devices

[Jennifer Lefroy]

Thank you Ronnie.  The spam mail is coming into POP accounts .  The mail is
from various addresses and so the rules I have set up on my computer refer
to subject and words in the content.
How is it that my ISP sends them although the user names they are sent to
are not mine?

Regards,
Jennifer

Re: Spam on devices

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Jennifer,

If you block the Address in Mail on your computer, mail on iPhone/iPad should 
not receive any mail messages from that Address.
What type of email account is the Spam coming to?

Re: SPAM

[Ronni Brown]

I wasn’t going to remind members to check their Junk Mail settings as I was 
assuming you all have Junk Mail set up on your Macs. But then thought I should 
not always assume all Members have taken our advise over the years.

Make sure you have your ‘Junk Mail’ settings correct in Mail > Preferences > 
Junk Mail.
"I consider these settings to be the optimal Junk Mail settings in Mail.

Select - Enable junk mail filtering

When junk mail arrives:
Select - Move it to the Junk mailbox

The following types of messages are exempt from junk mail filtering:
Select - Sender of message is in my contacts
Select - Sender of message is in my Previous Recipients

Select - Trust junk mail headers in messages
DON’T Select - Filter junk mail headers before applying my rules
(Note about the last checkbox, Filter junk mail before Applying My Rules.)
Ordinary, the Junk Mail filter runs after your rules, meaning your rules 
process all incoming spam messages and therefore may move some of them before 
the spam filter gets a chance to put them in the Junk Mailbox. Checking this 
box makes the Junk Mail filter run first, which reduces that problem while 
possibly producing a higher number of false positives. 

I’m assuming that you’ve set up good rules—so messages processed by your rules 
are usually “real” mail— and suggest leaving this unchecked.

Mail’s Junk Mail filter gets smarter and more accurate as you use it— but only 
if you tell it the truth! That means always correcting it when it makes a 
mistake. If Mail fails to move a spam message to Junk, select it and click the 
Junk  button on the toolbar. 
In addition, scan your Junk mailbox every few days or so to make sure Mail 
hasn’t mistakenly marked a good message as spam. If you find a legitimate 
message, select it, click the Not Junk  button on the toolbar, and drag the 
message back to your Inbox. (If you don’t see the Junk or Not Junk  button, 
that’s because they’re the same button—the name changes depending on whether 
Mail thinks the selected message is spam or not.)

Re: SPAM

[FW]

Hi Rod,

Yes, same here.
The annoying thing is, that there is often no “unsubscribe” button on the 
email. (BitCoin™ etc)
And lots of others that have the unsubscribe,  but when you click on it a 
webpage opens with a
some other sales campaign etc.

Cheers
Walter

It's not google - it's a scam. The actual address, hidden in the long 
google string is 'staging.btvin.com'.


I get these regularly, and ignore them.

If this really is from Google, I would really like to know why — it seems to me 
Google is getting far too big with tentacles into far too many things. I sent 
the information to Scamwatch.

Re: Spam designation

[David Nicholas]

I didn’t get one either, Severin.

I was at the 1965 Albany Summer School.  It was excellent.  I can remember lots 
of the sessions.

I don’t think you were there, though.  Is that just my memory failing me?

You did not get one Neil as you were not at the 2016 school and requested 
brochure send out by email rather than ordinary mail.  Seemed a good idea but 
like so many simple things it does not always quite work like that!

Re: Spam designation

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Severin,

As a past student of the Albany Summer School, where is MY Albany Summer
School SPAM  ;o)


One thing I have noticed is that, as spammers get more creative, so spam
filters try and adapt and, in some cases, flag quite legitimate emails as
SPAM - also, one persons informative email is another persons SPAM - but
that's another story  ;o)


I believe, email clients will not classify emails from someone in your
address book as SPAM - which is why many organisations which communicate by
email add a message along the lines of:

**
To ensure that you always receive our correspondence directly into your
inbox please add albanysummersch...@westnet.com.au to your address book.
**

Just a thought.


HTH



Cheers




Neil

Re: Spam designation

[Ronda Brown]

Severin, A couple of other thoughts during my insomnia sleep last night.

1. Check your Group recipients list for any invalid (no longer is use) email 
addresses. An invalid address can cause a Spam flag to recipients further down 
the list.

2. Have easy 'Opt In' (subscribe) & Opt Out (unsubscribe) and a message 
confirming.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Spam designation

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Severin,

The Group emails are not interpreted as Spam from the sender’s ISP, but by the 
receivers ISP and/or the client’s email spam filters.

Are you sending the Group emails using this email address:  
albanysummersch...@westnet.com.au 
Some requirements: 

1. Don’t use false or misleading header information. Your “From,” “To,” 
“Reply-To,” and routing information – including the originating domain name and 
email address – must be accurate and identify the person or business who 
initiated the message.

2. Don’t use deceptive subject lines. The subject line must accurately reflect 
the content of the message.

3. Tell recipients where you’re located. Your message must include your valid 
physical postal address. This can be your current street address, a post office 
box you’ve registered for Albany Summer School.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Spam bombing

[Jennifer Lefroy]

Dear Ronni and Marcus,
I really wasn't suspecting an accusation!  Just clarifying that this was
not a possible trigger.  Because of the way our accounts are set up we have
chosen not to use iCloud (probably an indication of our lack of knowhow).
For the present, I think I will close mail on my phone and iPad and then
when I see from my junk mail on the desk top that the spam has subsided, I
can start them up again.
There must be a lot of very strange and sad people in this cyber world! :-)

Thank you all for your suggestions and information.

Regards,
Jennifer

Re: Spam bombing

[Ronda Brown]

Hello Jennifer,

I was not inferring that you had sent any group CC email messages. 
My reply was in answer to Marcus's query - 
Re: receiving group messages that show all recipients addresses CC instead of 
BCC recipients addresses hidden.

That is why I deleted all your text below Marcus's message. 

In answer to your query:
iCloud has very good SPAM/junk mail filters in place on their server which 
stops SPAM before it gets to your Inbox.
 
You can use the Mail app to mark messages as junk so that later messages from 
the same sender are automatically marked as junk:
In iOS 7 or later, open the message, tap the flag icon at the bottom (top iOS 
8.2), then tap Move to Junk.
In OS X, select the message and click the Junk (thumbs down) icon in the Mail 
toolbar.
At iCloud.com , select the message, then click the 
flag icon and choose Move to Junk. Or just drag the message to the Junk folder 
in the sidebar. The message is then automatically reported to iCloud as junk 
mail.
Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Spam bombing

[Jennifer Lefroy]

Hello Everyone,

I haven't sent out any mass emails and while our desktop sends the spam to
junk, this does't happen on the iPhone or iPad and I don't know of any way
of separating junk on them. Perhaps the only remedy is to close those
accounts for now,and put up with the nuisance.

Regards,
Jennifer

Re: Spam bombing

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Marcus and others,

Unless you are sending a group email to a number of people that need to know 
who is being sent this email - example work project that all the recipients are 
all involved in - or a group family email or similar perhaps ok to CC

Otherwise you should use the BCC field.
Two main reasons why you should use BCC

Privacy: we certainly wouldn't write the phone numbers of our friends, work 
colleagues or family members in public places, so why would we do it with their 
email addresses? These are also personal information and it's a matter of 
respect for their privacy to keep this information to ourselves, instead of 
spreading it around the internet, making it accessible to strangers (who may 
eventually spread it to even more strangers).
Spam & Viruses: we don't know which hands the email addresses will end up in if 
we send them to our contacts - they may end up in the hands of spammers, for 
instance, or added to lists containing hundreds of thousands of email 
addresses, which are then sold on the black market. The result is that the 
recipients of the original message will start getting more and more spam, 
wasting their time and maybe even some important emails in the middle of all 
the junk-mail. Additionally, if the computer of one of our recipients is 
infected with a virus, it can collect all the addresses available in the 
message and send a copy of itself to each one address in an attempt to spread 
itself to other computers, or may simply collect the addresses to aggregate 
them in one of the lists I mentioned above, that spammers love to buy.
Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Spam bombing

[Marcus F Harris]

My apple mail filters dozens of these to junk.
I have this uncertain idea that new SPAM starts when people CC their mail to 
many friends/colleagues instead of BCC.
I'm interested to know if that could be the case.

Re: Spam, phishing pretending to be PayPal

Thanks Ronni,
I didn't click on any of the email links, I just independently went to Paypal, 
advised them and then deleted the email from the In and Trash.
Thanks for your concern.

I agree with Ronni. the golden rule is NEVER click on links in emails of this 
sort. If in doubt, always go to the site in question, be it PayPal, iTunes, 
your bank or anyone else, and login to your account, assuming you actually have 
one, and check things out for yourself. And, of course, delete the email.

It also pays to have a close look at the sending and recipient email addresses 
at the top of the message. You'll find that the sending address often resolves 
to somewhere in Russia or Romania or similar, and of course if the recipient 
address is "Undisclosed recipients" or similar you can be absolutely certain 
the message is not intended for you at all.

Above all, if you know for a fact that you have no dealings at all with the 
organisation in question, you need spend no further time over it. Just delete 
and move on.

Re: Spam? Fisching?

[Daniel Kerr]

That email is actually correct. As Adobe's servers got hacked. 
As a precaution, they are emailing people advising them to change their 
password, just incase.

You can read more about it direct from Adobe's site here -


or here


So yes, it may pay to change your password for your Adobe account, "just 
incase".

Kind regards

I'm a bit more cautious as such things are worrisome. I've changed my PayPal 
email address and password, even though there has been no activity in my 
account for over a month.

Re: Spam, phishing pretending to be PayPal

[Rick Armstrong]

I agree, report it to PayPal but as it already has been, so delete the email 
then separately go to PayPal and just check your balance, you will find no 
unauthorised transactions have been made so you don't have to do anything. I 
have had three very different emails over the last year like this. Rick.

Re: Spam, phishing pretending to be PayPal

[Reg Whitely]

Thanks for this Geoff

I've been having a bit of a play around with your whois info and discovered 
that "33478 Domain(s) Use creativedreams...@gmail.com As Whois Email". See 
http://www.webboar.com/whois-email/page:1/creativedreams365%40gmail.com";. 
That's quite a lot. Here's the streetview of the address  20 WEST 87TH STREET 
NY: http://goo.gl/maps/3EKoK. Quite a business!

Re: Spam, phishing pretending to be PayPal

[Rick Armstrong]

Same here with PayPal, I usually screen capture the email then go to the PayPal 
site and report it, PayPal always respond and are sometimes aware and sometimes 
not and always request you to delete the email and not to respond to PayPal 
from the email. The good thing with PayPal is that you are protected against 
any fraudulent activity. Rick.

Re: Spam, phishing pretending to be PayPal

[Kevin Lock]

Reg,

I have had several of these and advised PayPal who confirmed that it is 
a Phishing scam to get your banking details.

What do you think? There has been no recent transaction movements in

If the "seller" is not phishy enough, a whois on the domain of the return 
address provides:

-

-

They produce a lot of palm oil in Senegal, but this person (with no stated 
organisation) is probably not in the business, and is even less likely to be 
associated with palm oil in PNG. More to the point, he clearly has nothing to 
do with Paypal.

A "whois" on the domain name png.com returns:

Re: spam

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Brett,

Just a thought ­ may not even be relevant since I use Entourage, rather than
Mail, as my email client.

I use a lot of mailing rules to sort my mail into different folders, as it
arrives, and sometimes find things where I don¹t expect them.

Generally, I find that this is due to the fact that the item COULD be picked
up by more than one rule ­ in this case what happens is that the item is
handled by the FIRST rule that is applicable, based on the rule priority
list. Generally, this is a one-off kind of thing ­ but otherwise I would
tweak either the rules or their order of priority.

As I say, I don¹t have any real experience with Mail ­ so I¹m not sure
exactly how it implements rules ­ but could it be that the problem emails
are being picked up by some ³rule² you have set ­ which is then overriding
the direction into the junk mail folder.


Cheers



Neil

Thanks Daniel
I do have the Junk Mail setting set to move to the junk folder for review and 
that works most of the time.  Just some keep getting through and you can see 
the previous emails below, all with a message saying "Mail thinks this is Junk" 
 Why does Mail, not put them in the Junk folder?

Re: spam

[Daniel Kerr]

If Junk Mail is still coming to your InBox, then you may have it set to 
"training mode".
If you want it to "file" them for you then in Mail - Preferences go to Junk 
Mail. 
You'll see choices like
When junk mail arrives
• Mark it as junk, but leave it in my Inbox
• Move it to the Junk mailbox
• Perform custom actions (Click Advanced to configure).

If you have it set to "move to the Junk Mailbox" then it will move them away 
for you from your InBox, but store them so you can "just double check". (before 
deleting them).
Or you can customise it to do other options. (e.g. delete automatically) etc.

Depending on your hosting then you can also set them up with Cpanel from your 
hosting side as well, and create auto filters that will filter out a specific 
address to not be seen again. And adjust "spam filters" from the host end as 
well.
(which is what a lot of my hosting clients do).

"spam" as such in Australia can only be stopped if the company is operating 
from an Australian address with an Australia website/address etc. Nothing they 
can do about the rest of the world unfortunately.

My spam for the week is "you have a message from LinkedIn", click here." About 
10+ a day. And I don't even belong to the stupid thing. Never signed up for 
LinkedIn, not interested in. Not interested in the spam. Yet,…I still get it. 
(pretending to be them).

Welcome to the world of the internet. Spam is it's ugly side effect I'm afraid.

Re: SPAM from "Apple"? Fwd: Please verify that we have the right address for you

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Alex,

Apple are very chatty lately, I've been receiving this email also.
You can verify your email address by logging in at http://appleid.apple.com/ by 
manually typing that address into your web browser, rather than clicking the 
link in the email.
 
Also read the support article below, which includes details about verifying 
your AppleID:
 
http://support.apple.com/kb/he37

Ronni

If you are using Mail in Lion or Mountain Lion, the ability to use Quicklook 
URLs is invaluable for sorting this stuff out. It's difficult in this case 
since the URL itself is invalid, but normally a Quicklook URL work like this:

1. HOVER your mouse pointer over the URL. DO NOT CLICK THE BUTTON.

2. You will see a small dark grey box appear at the end of the URL, containing 
a white triangle. Click the box

3. A quicklook window will open up and render the page behind the URL. 

The Quicklook URL circumvents the use of a Browser, giving you a "Preview" of 
the page, thereby avoiding the various nasties which might be lurking in any 
backend scripts executed by the browser. The links within the Quicklook page 
are live, but be aware that clicking one will generally activate your browser.

Interestingly enough, in this case the URL does actually resolve to a very 
genuine-looking log-in page for the Digital Banking service of the Royal Bank 
of Scotland. Generally, if the URL is bogus, the Quicklook URL exposes the 
culprit site. In my experience it's pretty hard to fool. This one looks to be 
legitimate.

It is almost certainly spam, but it is difficult to tell what they hope to 
achieve with this message. Looking at the raw source would help as it is 
possible that the URL given is embedded in a different URL which is where a 
browser would go if you clicked on the link.

In fact the athttps bit makes the URL illegal apart from anything else - there 
is no such protocol and so clicking on this link will just result in an error 
message from your browser. Presumably they meant to say "digital Banking at 
https://www.rbsdigital.com/default.aspx";. The rbsdigital.com domain is owned by 
the Royal Bank of Scotland but as suggested above you cannot be sure that this 
link (even without the "at") will actually take you there.

If you do not bank with the RBoS then it is definitely spam. The awkward 
wording of most of the message together with the lack of detail is also highly 
suggestive of spam.

I'm with Sev - delete it.

Re: ?spam

[Lynn Koh]

Hi Mac

I would suggest open a new internet window (whatever you do, DO NOT click the 
link in the email), type in your internet banking web address and log in that 
way (if you use internet banking). If you dont, i wouldd say most likely it is 
spam.

if it is a legitimate email, your 'mail inbox' in your netbanking account will 
also display the same email you got.

Lynn

One of the great strengths of Apple's Mail (and why I won't use anything else) 
is the fact that it takes full advantage of OS X's QuickLook system. One of the 
great features of QuickLook is its support for plugins, and one of the more 
useful of these is the BetterZip plugin.

http://www.quicklookplugins.com/2007/12/02/zip-betterzip/

Once installed, it gives you an instant peak inside the contents of any .zip 
file. It is particularly useful for quickly examining these little nasties 
without running any risks associated with opening them. A simply slick of the 
QuickLook button at the top of the message opens a window displaying the 
contents of the archive, and these attachments typically contain nothing but 
the aforementioned .exe file. Of course, BetterZip is useful for looking inside 
legitimate Zipped attachments as well, so you can see what you might be getting 
before you actually open the attachment.

As an adjunct to this, QuickLook in 10.7 and above also works on embedded URLs, 
so you can preview those inviting links before you actually click them: you 
know, the ones from the "bank" that say things like "your password needs to be 
reset. Please click here to correct the issue" or something similar. Invariably 
these links lead off to some site in Russia or somewhere, performing some nasty 
magic along the way. QuickLook lets you see what the destination page looks 
like without involving your browser.

Hi Bill and Ronni

Yes, it was more the mention of them, so people knew. Not about how to deal 
with viruses etc etc,… :)
The files themselves generally wont' worry the Mac. Sure if you have Parallels 
etc then an .exe file will load straight into that and "can" cause hassles.
Yes, helpful to have virus software for some instances.
And yes, common sense is a fantastic practice to deal with them,…
Those emails arrive (with attachments) and I simply delete them. Problem 
solved. I've got virus software to check my machine (once in a blue moon) but I 
don't run it all the time.
I don't work with a lot of Word documents, bar ones I get sent from clients to 
check or that won't open. And I can them to check. But I don't generally have 
to stress about it in my line of work for things coming through my email or 
computer.

As an aside, in over 11 years of doing computer consulting I've only ever had 
ONE call out for something that was virus related. And it was an old OS9 
computer with a Word macro virus. (And that was about 9 years ago now). It had 
infected the Word documents but nothing else. An easy fix and software then 
installed to keep a check on it. But apart from that, I've never had any other 
virus related call outs, even in the instances where they thought it might be a 
virus,..a scan showed nothing.
I'm sure the same couldn't be said for a Windows consultant! lol :)) (In fact 
I'm sure for some of them, their bread and butter is removing viruses,…lol. :o)

(Thanks Ronni, for forwarding it on as well). Hopefully this email will get

I am sure he is, but Sophos tells me what they are and responds if I tell it to 
quarantine.  I installed Sophos from advice I got from Charles Taylor at Macs4U 
when we set-up a new computer.

Re: Spam alert

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Bill,

What Daniel is meaning I would assume... The zip file in these emails normally 
contains an .exe file which contains the virus; and an .exe file cannot be 
opened on a Mac. 
Therefore they can't cause any damage on a Mac.

Common sense and safe practices is required.

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hi all
 
 Just for interest sake, I thought I'd let all know there's quite a few 
 spam emails about at the moment. 
 
 These include (but not limited to)-
 Facebook - "your friend has sent you photos attached". 
 Telstra - "your account current invoice is attached"
 Apple. - you need to reset your password with this link
 FedEx / UPS - you have a parcel waiting. Please complete the form attached
 Amazon - your order is waiting approval or needs finalised. Please 
 complete the form attached (or can also say its a copy of your order). 
 
 They all normally have a zip file attached. 
 Not a big issue for us Mac people, but some to be wary of. 
 I get about 3 or 4 a day at the moment , all to weird addresses I don't 
 use (but I have a catch all domain so hence get more then normal). :)
 Some days a nice mixture of all of them. Makes a difference from the old 
 ones (I don't seem to get any more) - Russian brides , Viagra , but cheap 
 meds. Lol. :)
 
 Hope that info helps. 
 (Apologies for the mention of spam itself lol, and mistakes - dictating at 
 red lights can only do so much. Lol)
 
 Enjoy!

I am not so sure about no issue for Mac owners.  At least with Lion and Leopard 
before it I started using Sophos and it would frequently pick up unwanted

[Robert Miller-Eves]

By the way! Unfortunately , I'd already signed up with a Hosting service and 
paid the fee so I cannot, at this stage,take advantage of the hosting 
suggestions offered.If the current service cannot get me up and running I'll 
certainly be taking up one of those suggestions. Once again apologies for 
starting and upset!

 Some time back I moved my MobileMe hosted iWeb created website, to another

 Originally I tried publishing directly from iWeb to FTP Server, but that

 a good FTP program (Transmit 4) to do the heavy work of uploading to my

 Hi Robert
 
 I've switched a few people over from mobile me hosting to my hosting 
 service business (http://www.hostingservicewa.com.au).
 It has a lot of the MobileMe features and a lot more. All can be run out 
 of Cpanel (easy to work with) and has file manager and a lot more. Plus a 
 lot more email and features as well if required.
 You can directly upload from iWeb. The reason to either use the File 
 Manager or an FTP upload program is that MobileMe has a way to sort of 
 "wreck" the domain name.
 For example if you have your own domain name and then upload from iWeb 
 you'l get an address that looks like 
 http://www.mydomainname.com.au/mydomainname/home.html so it doubles it up. 
 Whereas by saving to a folder then directly uploading you get a much nicer 
 looking web address http://www.mydomain.com.au
 
 I also use Transmit, and although  not free it's quite cheap for it's 
 feature set, and it's very easy to use. You can "favourite" your site on 
 the left hand side (in a Finder looking window) and your Domain in the 
 right hand side. It then has a "Sync" feature that you just click on, and 
 any changes made in your site locally get uploaded to your site online. 
 Very easy. I've set a few of these up for other clients and shown them how 
 to use it all, while I was out doing other "consulting" work.
 
 My hosting set is actually written in iWeb and uploaded from the folder. 
 Very easy to look after.
 
 Hope that information helps :o)

Re: Spam

Sorry people,

My first response was taken from another survey I received from from Apple, 
similar, but below is the one I received after purchasing my iPhone 4 S.
It includes at the bottom of the email Apple’s Privacy Policy. Nothing sinister 
here, it’s a very short survey how you rate the iPhone, no personal details at 
all ;-)

Hi Tom,

"Apple has engaged Medallia, an independent marketing research firm, to conduct 
this study. This survey is for research purposes only. Your survey response is 
shared only with Apple’s internal management team."

Apple have used Medallia for years for surveys.  Ive had this before for my 
last iPhone and again for iPhone 4 S.
 Its a legit customer satisfaction survey with no strings attached. 

They don't ask for any personal info and you don't have to download anything.

Ronni

Hi Blitto,

Sounds like your Facebook Account or one of your ‘Friends’ Facebook Accounts 
could have been hacked or email account compromised.
Can you Login to your Facebook Account?
If so change your Password and Security Settings.

Do you have a Facebook Account?

Re: Spam bombardment

No CNN spam using Internode ISP. I've not changed their default spam  
settings so most likely they are on the ball.

Good luck

It helps if you go Mail preferences - Rules
setup a rule and keep modifying it until you have enough data in the

to shift the spam to the spam box .

Re: Spam bombardment

[Barb Zahari]

I think it's *your* email address, not Westnet per se.

I don't actually use my old IT email address but it's still running so 
I can pick up the odd stragglers who haven't  got my Westnet email 
address yet.
The old IT address started getting massive amounts of spam before I 
changed to Westnet & is now getting 60 or more spam emails a day 
(including the CNN one).


My Westnet email address so far gets NO spam at all, & I haven't paid 
for their spam filtering service.

Re: Spam bombardment

Hi guys

yep Im getting heaps out here in the timor sea through Westnet. I
actually quizzed them this morning and they dont actually do anything
unless you notify them of which ones to filter via your email client
and it goes to labs.sophos.com, what ever that is! 
Apparently they are bringing in a new email system very soon and I
assume better filtering. And you are right it costs to filter

Re: SPAM? Malware?

[Adam hewitt]

It could be an email harvester.

If someone sends an email to an address that doesn't exist it will bounce
back saying "no such user". If they keep track of all the accounts they sent
emails to, then they can deduct the bounces and are left with a valid user
list. Unfortunately there is very little that can be done about it.

I get these from time to time as well.

6) Suggestions for email client

Subject: Re: Suggestions for email client



Hi everyone,

After more than a decade of using Eudora, it's time to move on to
something faster and better supported. What are your suggestions?

I don't want to use Entourage or anything M$, although my university
uses Exchange.  I want to use POP, and store my mail on my own  
machine

and manage where I put my own attachments.

Is Apple's Mail a good choice?  What else is out there?

Cheers
Rob



Apple's Mail is fast, has a clean interface and is easy to use.
Each time I think it's time for as  change, I go back to Mail within
days !!

   Don't underestimate Thunderbird, I find it's excellent for fine  
control. Ciao > philip.

Hi Mac

I am no longer with Westnet but I remember using the spam filter service.
It is a Sophos product I believe.

I used it pretty much as you do, I would quickly scan down the list to 
look for any familiar names, you know, ones that don't look like Hartog 
D. Pennythrift etc.


I usually only found the odd one from WAMUG really.
The longer I did this the less mistakes it made, quite good I found, but 
certainly not one in a million. More like one in five hundred.

This did not take too long.

Nowadays I'm just using gmail and to my knowledge it's filter hasn't 
made a mistake yet.

Re: Spam Filter.

[Steven]

Steve, I don't disagree with your logic, but I have a filter operating and
although I do check the junk mail folder regularly, it can be done at a
convenient time, rather than my inbox alerting me of incoming email every
few minutes and annoying the cr*p outta me.

I use Entourage and employ its junk mail filter on low setting. Works pretty
well.

Cheers, Steven

I have considered installing a spam filter also, but I cannot

anyway just to make sure it's done the job correctly. Might just as  
well go through them in the Inbox and delete them myself.

Using Mail I employ   " rules "  which have been expanded until they  
catch 95% plus of junk

and direct it into  Junk   mail box .

Mailboxes have been set to show sender , addressee and subject .

Just looking at the Junk mail box index I can pick the odd real  
message and drag to the inbox.


NO need to read the junk , just clear the box with   option Apple J
and an OK .

Re: Spam with mac.com mail ?

[Wendy S. Austin]

Hi Philip

You are not alone, I have been getting approximately two spam  
messages each day on my .mac account for about the last month, it is  
the only spam I receive.


Cheers

Wendy

Hi Philip,

Yep, I receive more Spam through my .mac address than my Westnet  
address.


I did this awhile back & it cut down the spam I was receiving  
through .mac address.


Go to mail preferences and then select the 'viewing' section deselect  
the option to 'Display remote images in HTML messages'


Any e-mail with a picture in will not load up now, as email spammers  
use images with code in them to validate that an email address has  
received the SPAM and is therefore open to receive more SPAM then  
this will mean that they will get this return message. As some spam  
does not look to contain an image, but does in fact contain one, this  
will cut down your spam.


You will soon see that even emails which do not look as though they  
have images in them, the button to 'Load' images will be displayed.


You will quickly learn which are legitimate emails which contain  
images you want to view and which do not.


Also you might want to re-set the junk mail filter and re-train it so  
that it now only filters out real spam.

Re: Spam address in Address book

[Robert Howells]

Try
Enourage -> Preferences->Mail->compose-> uncheck 'recent addresses"

Robert provided me with the right advice.  Thanks mate.  Another 
triumph for
a member of the WAMUG list.  I went one step further.  On the same 
window
there is a button for "clear recent addresses" and that seems to have 
done

the job permanently.

Last night I downloaded a free Entourage update from MS and so it is 
now

Version 10.1.6

Now with the new version, attachments don't automatically open unless 
the

email is double clicked, unlike before when I just single clicked.


There may be a way top control that !
With Entourage active
Try the Entourage Help option under help . and type in just the word " 
Attachments "

to search for all possibilities !

Bob

this is to prevent spam being inadvertently opened when trashing.

Thanks again, Paul.
