emails are sent to all the addresses in my address book, seek. How can I stop. Yahoo SBCglobal account
Hello
Check with the help of your e-mail account, because they can also help if the emails are actually
sending your account which is actually probably not. More likely, the spammers have
a copy of your contacts or a copy of an email sent to these contacts.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.How to read the message headers

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to

cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

How can I stop mail constantly try to resend an email bounced?
A time back I sent an email to both addresses at a time. Email went to a single address successfully but bounced on the other (with the message "failure MX Lookup;") try later). Mail continues to try to return it to failed and I get emails bounce back. How can I stop trying to send the email? Enamel is in my "Sent" folder, so no use to delete from there - it just seems to be caught in a loop of cyberspace. It's not ruining my life, just vaguely annoying.
The other problem is that the address has failed is a desk that I need to send things, so if anyone can tell me how to stop my e-mails get rejected from there, that would be great...
Is there a message still in your Outbox? Is there and it is this remove it from there.
Most likely mail "successfully" sent to your mail server and it's your e-mail server who tried several times to send it to the other people's e-mail server. In this case, the options are to delete your mail from Queue - Server users something normal cannot do, but the server administrator may be able to do for you.
Even if there is nothing that you can do yourself that a mail server will normally only try to send an email to a number of attempts or days and then stop. The number varies depending on the settings of the server.
There are a lot of possible reasons as to why it's a failure for a well known email address alleged. In this case based on the limited data available, it could be one of the following.
- The recipient doesn't have to renew the domain name registration and so their field was suspended, so your server can not 'find '.
- Someone accidentally messed up the DNS settings for the domain of recipients, not impossible but unlikely
- Currently, their internet connection is defective and they run their own DNS server, so as a side effect of their DNS record has also become unavailable, it is for this kind of situation that your mail server is trying repeatedly for once in the hope that their link returns to the top
- If you typed the wrong email address in case the domain name, then your server will not be able to find it because it is looking for the wrong name
- They recently moved offices and/or Internet providers and meanwhile, their systems can be offline
In many cases they should bid a secondary MX record so that if their own mail server is temporarily unavailable mails sent at the entrance side and temporarily kept them until their mail server is back online then the secondary MX server will forward all the emails that have been temporarily held in them. Some people/companies do not reach the secondary MX records of installation.

My computer sends messages to groups of people when I'm offline. How can I stop this?
My computer is send emails to people when I'm offline. How can I stop this? It does same all night when I'm asleep and the computer is closed.
How do you know it's your computer?
If you think you will realize that it is impossible, so you need to find another explanation.
In fact, the phenomenon is quite common. What is happening is that a computer is infested with malware that uses the address book on the computer to send messages infected to the names in the address book. So you have the bizarre situation that you can receive malware apparently from yourself. Take great care not to open any message to yourself you know that you did not send.
The best thing you can do is to warn your friends about what is happening. Try to give them the object that is used in false infected mails. You may be able to identify which computer is infected. It depends on how many addresses in the address book of the infected computer. Eventually, the owner of the computer will be aware of the situation, the measures and messages will stop. Of course, at that time another computer can get infected and begins a new wave of infected mail.
The simple tips that follow can help you or your friend (s) to stop the epidemic

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.

My computer is sending spam to my contacts when it is stopped. How can I stop it?
My computer is sending spam to my conatcts when it is on or off. How can I stop it? Do I have to change my email address?
I don't think that your computer is sending spam. Someone broke into your e-mail account and is using other computers to send it. Change the password on your email account immediately and contact your email service provider for help with the problem. Boulder computer Maven
