Applications :: Finding Best Spam Filtering

Apr 11, 2009

As a Mac newbie, I have noticed an increase in the amount of spam that I get compared to my Windows environment, in which I had used several purchased anti-spam solutions, the latest being a part of the ZoneAlarm Security Suite (which uses an embedded version of MailFrontier, which has excellent performance).

The documentation says that Mail's built-in spam filtering "will take a while to learn" from my actions. However, I have been using it for about three weeks now and a lot of spam still gets through.

As I do not yet own a Mac, I am intrigued by the Apple Store Assistants comments that the Email client can be put into some sort of learning mode and will learn to filter spam out.

Applications :: Mail Growl, Imap And Spam?

Aug 29, 2008

I just switched my settings in Mail so that I'm now checking my Gmail accounts using IMAP rather than POP. This has gone smoothly save for one thing: Growl now notifies me of every piece of Spam that comes into the Spam folder on the server. Is there any way to adjust this?

Likewise, Growl also notifies me about anything new message on the server, whether it's an e-mail I have sent (added to the server-side Sent Messages folder) and also takes to notifiying me two, three, or even more times for a single message (because it comes into the All Mail folder on the server and then into my client-side mailbox in Mail)

Applications :: Adium - Getting Spam Messages - Blocked

Jul 23, 2010

I've had Adium since I got my first mac (since Windows Messenger doesn't work properly). Lately I've been getting messages from my contacts that I'm spamming them with messages like this: "I just found the coolest site, free and full of the best movies to watch [URL] Why is this happening? I'm pretty sure I don't have virus on my mac, is it something with the Adium/MSN? How do I remove it? A few months ago I also got a lot of friend requests from totally strangers (with really weird email addresses), does it have something to do with this? I never accepted any of them, I blocked all of them.

I want to set it up for Mac Address filtering. Can this be done? I only see where it can be set to allow certain times only.

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Junk Button Disappeared And Filtering Stopped In Mail 4.5

Apr 11, 2012

I am using Mail 4.5. I used to have a Junk button next to the Delete button. I would select a long list of messages and click the Junk button. I was making adjustments in my Preferences (to stop certain filters), and must have done something to make that button disappear. Also, it seems to have stopped filtering junk. My Junk Mail preferences still show: Enable junk mail filtering, When junk mail arrives, move it to the junk mailbox, and all the rest of the boxes are checked.

Applications :: Mail From Gmail / Spam In Sent Mail?

Feb 28, 2010

Don't know if this was addressed yet, but "Spam" mail from my gmail (spam folder - duh!) keeps popping up in my "Sent Mail" folder in Mac mail. I found this post online, but am not tech savvy enough to know what they're talking about.

Quote:

Okay. I know what's going on there. You are correct this is spam that does not originate from you. The issue is that it is not your gmail address that is being forged, but your other address that forwards to gmail. You have also configured your forwarding server as a valid mail originator for your address in SPF. So the mail looks completely legitimate to gmail: it arrives at gmail from a server that you have configured as a valid server to send from your email address, therefore gmail thinks it really is from your email address.

If you control your own domain and you use gmail's smtp server for outgoing mail, you should remove the SPF entry that marks the forwarding server (URL) as a valid originator for your domain. Then gmail will be able to figure out that this is forged. This will likely cause gmail to put this stuff properly in Spam and to avoid showing you the images.(URL)

Mac OS X Lion Server :: Configuring Virus Filtering Using Etc/clamd.conf & Amavisd.conf?

Mar 13, 2012

Looking to help a customer with his os x lion mail server setup. On some occasions they want to be able to recieve .exe or zipped .exe files. The current solution is letting the sender zip the files password encrypted and change the extension name. As far as I can see in server manager we have 3 options for virus filtering. bouncing and deleting aren't option of course. When redirecting to the admin emailaddress you get an automated message probably derived from etc/mail/amavisd/languages/en.lproj The bounced messages are contained in var/virusmails, I can only get in that folder as root. I can see the message using nano, but how would I extract the attachments ? we would change the behavior of the virus filtering. There are some settings in clamd.conf and amavisd

clamd.conf has interesting items such as ScanPE, ScanELF, ScanMail, ArchiveBlockEncrypted.amavisd.conf has a block 'Commonly Adjusted Settings' with bypass_virus_checks_maps = (int) and more interessting settings. I 've been playing around with these and settings in server manager. I've been changing one value at a time and rebooting the server or restarting the corresponding  service in between. For some strange reason the mail server behavior doesn't change at all and keeps sending the admin a standard mail with a reference to it's name in the /var/virusmail folder.

OS X :: How To Avoid Spam

Aug 4, 2009

I'm using Mail. Up til now, I've had no problems. Recently my paypal acct was accessed by a third-party overseas. Since then I am getting nearly 200 e mails a week that are marked undeliverable. The e mails are almost always addressed to weird overseas addresses but are probably bogus anyway. I don't know how this happened or how to fix it. I can't even check my e mail on my iPhone because I'll be deleting mail from Mail Delivery System for ever. Is there ANYTHING I can do?

OS X :: Can't Work With Junk And Spam In Mail

Mar 22, 2009

I have three accounts setup in Mail, and for some reason one of the accounts, the one that I need the most, is getting hundreds of junk emails daily, I tried to set some advanced settings in junk mail filtering but nothing works. One funny thing is that most of the junk mail I get is not even addressed to a name on my account, just a random name@myserver.com, there has to be a way to filter anything not addressed directly to me out, or a way to stop this period.

Intel Mac :: Delete SPAM Without Selecting It?

Mar 19, 2012

How do I delete SPAM without selecting it.  On my older Mac there was a way, but on my newer one I can't figure out how to do it.  When I select the SPAM messages they open immediately.  I'm assuming that merely opening it sends a message to those who've spammed me.

Imac, Mac OS X (10.6.6)
