• Prevent the sendout spam using my email address

  De :  Allen

   

  My email box is full of "returned and Undelivarable Messages" using my e-mail address as sender.  Some are in foreign languages.  How can I stop someone from using my email address to send mass spam e-mail? My antivirus programs and spyware do not seem to help.

  De :  Malke

   

  You can not. A spammer would have got your address because your email address is in the address book a friend on the computer infected friend. Or could have clicked on a spam message (sending that message "unsubscribe" to a spammer allows them just to know that they have a direct email address). Or maybe you gave your email address to a company without a good privacy statement or an evil that lied about their privacy policy. Your computer is perhaps even infected and spammers now have your address.

  All you can do is:

  1 make sure that your computer is free from virus/malware so that you know that you are not guilty of sending spam.

  2. get rid of this email address and make more sense to give a new. Use a "disposable" for spam free email account.

  3. use filtering, both at the level of the web server in your mail client if you use an anti-spam. You have usually no control over the filtering of spam on your web server except to turn it on and possibly have white/black lists.

  Here are some links to help you understand spam and what you can do to limit your exposure to it:

• My MAC friends tell me NOT to use icloud email address.

  My MAC friends tell me NOT to use icloud email address.

  They advised me that because they claim that icloud email address cannot be deleted.   I speak no deletion of an Apple or iCloud account. I'm simply talking about the ability to delete an icloud email address.

  They tell me to use Gmail, Yahoo or AOL, as these companies allow you to erase / delete an email address.   It just looks good to me. I'm trying to get the best advice.

  Thank you

  ICloud e-mail address is provided for you once you've created an Apple ID (which is the same as your email address valid)

  Your iCloud email address is also an alias of your Apple ID and Yes, you can change your username (email address) Apple

  Hi, Catherine.

  You'd better post in the Windows Live Solution Center-Hotmail like that is dedicated to Windows Live Hotmail.

  If you have not implemented alternative methods to check your Hotmail credentials, I suggest do it after your account is returned.  For more information, see Security Hotmail to protect and recover your account .

  Good luck!

• My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?

  My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?

  I can't block emails from myself, I sometimes need to send things, so I got them at a later date.

  I know that I can view the source of the message, but I just want to stop this garbage that runs through for me.

  Can anyone help?

  There is not really a way to do it.  Just like you cannot block spam from your mailbox home - anyone can send you mail and anyone can use a false address 'return' that makes it look like it came from you.

  In fact, it is incredibly easy (only 10 letters typed) to send an e-mail that looks like it comes President @ whitehouse.gov.  That's how spammers do, because there is no check on email (I wish the people who invented the email 40 years ago had thought of that), but it is not just.

  Someone is using MY email address.  In my balls was a * consignment sent from MY eddress.  How can someone else use my email address?  What can I do about it?

  Spammers use other peoples addresses all the time. It's easy. The only thing you could really do is change your address. On the positive side, they usually do this method for a few days and then change the address, then it must stop.

  Hello

  If you use the Hotmail account then the question you posted would be better suited in Windows Live Solution Center. I suggest you to send your application in the Windows Live Solution Center for better support.

• When I write an email from an address the answer goes to another one of my email addresses

  If I write that an email from [email protected] to answer x. x is found in my mailbox [email protected]. I want to email written to the [email protected] to receive my answers to [email protected]. I don't want the answers to be redirected to the address [email protected].

  If you use the outlook server as pop e-mail accounts you do not use its smtp server:
  (I have my own domain name using pop, but have to send using my server BT email address, so I had to add another email address in the account of BT to send)

  There should be a facility to add another email address, using a 'send only '.
  I think the settings are something like this:

  Connect to Outlook.com with your main account - a browser.
  Click the Options icon, and then click Options.
  Click your e-mail accounts.
  Click Add an account send only,.
  Enter the e-mail address and the password for your secondary account - e-mail lakeshoreaikidocleveland.com and then click Next.

  ===============================================================

  Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

  It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
  account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
  were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
  who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
  NOT only the answer to the address.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• HP Officejet 8620: How to use the email address (ePrint) of your old HP printer for your HP printer?

  Hello

  I bought a new HP printer and I want it to use email ePrint of the HP printer, it replaced.  How can I do this?

  I have connected on HP and I saw my old printer and the new printer device.  I removed the old printer and tried to use the same email address, but he said he was caught.

  Thank you very much

  Peter

  Hello Peter,.
  I'm sorry to inform you, that this is not possible. A specific ePrint address cannot be assigned to different devices... Your old address can not be used on any other device.
  
  You can select a different unique email address for your new printer.

• Make error at startup on another device using my IP address

  The last 2 weeks, I get this error message when I start up my Power Mac, "another device on the network use the IP address of your computer."  When I go to the network window in system preferences says Ethernet is connected, but all DCHP info is empty.  I never got this message before and even if I can use this computer using wifi, I prefer the wired connection.  How can I correct this situation?

  Thank you!

  Is something on the network using IP static?

• someone else keeps using my email address

  I constantly receive e-mails "Welcome to blah blah" Jason Miller for my email account which I held for a few years. I have usually immediately unsubscribe or contact the Web site directly. I have the impression that he is a teenager and want to know how can I do to stop it... surely, now, it is noticed that its accounts are not being opened, or communicate with him and telling him to put in place a new account?

  If the emails do not seem massive spam I suspect that he may have his e-mail address or it subscribing you for some reason any.
