Spam to my friends

My friends keep getting Hotmail Email they say is me, but they are not. In the subject box, it will say something like "hey I saw this and thought of you check it out" they click on it and its something about advertising. Really annoying me and my friends. What can I do?

Hello

Which is called Spoofing and its pretty easy for a spammer to make. Of course, it does
it look like you or the other person has sent the e-mail. Someone intercepted an email and
It may not be you who caused him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
or even someone could have sent an email on your behalf to someone else who has been
compromise. Your friend can access headers and block the real senders of
those who will change often.

  • shippers approved in outlook express

    Hello!  I use Outlook (Windows XP / Office 2003) and know how to easily implement a safe sender to avoid putting wanted messages in Spam.  A friend who uses Outlook Express to do this, but I can't help him.  Can someone help us please?

    Outlook Express does not have a shipping option in itself, but can be created using message rules.
     
    Start with the only rule of AddressBook and you receive a message that you want people not in your address book (E-mail from companies, bills, your ISP, etc), you can add them to the rule.
     
    Tools | Message rules | Mail | New.
     
    Box 1 - Where the From line contains people {check it out}
     
    Box 2 - Check: delete it & stop processing more rules if you want messages not in the address book to go to deleted items, or you can create a spam folder and direct them here.
     
    You can choose to delete the server, but be careful because you never have messages downloaded to any folder, if you choose this option.
     
    Box 3 - Click on the blue words contains people
     
    Click on the first address to select it. Scroll to the end and hold down the SHIFT key while you click the last address. This will highlight all. Right-click on it and click on from the menu that appears.
     
    Now, click Options and choose: Message * contains no of * the people below in the top of the page Options area, then choose: Message corresponds to one of the people below in the background Options box.
     
    OK your way out of the new rule.
     
    Now, only the addresses that you entered will be uploaded to your Inbox. You won't see other emails.
     
    Remember, if you add a person to your address book, you must add to the rule. It will not automatically be added.
     
    Be sure to see these links for more options.

    I had another friend of mine try to send e-mail to my gmail account and its hotmail went straight to spam.  I also try to send e-mail to my area of work and it returns an e-mail in my Inbox:

    Whenever someone sends me they emmidiately got an e-mail from some company spam Japanese camera. Does anyone know whats going on?

    Hi gr8cad,

    Thanks for posting. You can check the email address that your friend's mail to? This happens with some or all people? This occurs when your computer is turned on and off? You can check your email provider (i.e. hotmail.com att.com microsoft.com something like not using your full email address)?

    What I would say, is to search for viruses, spyware and software malware.  I've included a few websites for utilities that you can use to analyze your computer against viruses and spyware. I would like to use more than one, none of the products, which include every viral infection.

  • Email is sending spam to all my friends

    original title: spam

    I have need to be change my email address because it's send spam to all my friends. or clean it.

    Hello

    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.

  • Refer a friend generates a ton of Spam

    It seem to see a friend on my site is used to generate a bunch of SPAM.  I have the CAPTCHA on the form, but it does not appear to be doing an excellent job of preventing abuse of the form.  How can I stop this?

    Screen Shot 2012-06-14 at 2.14.08 PM.png

    Thank you, Christine.

    Tested the current form the captcha seems functional.  I also noticed that the last spam was last week so not sure if changes have been made on your end because I see the opportunity to "enforce captcha for referring a friend" is currently enabled in your site.

    Site-> captcha settings

    I would recommend this surveillance and if you notice another influx of spam entries after today please open a folder from supported with reference to this thread and we'll dig deeper on what could be the cause.

  • My friends have received email spam as if sent by me. I learned that my account has been hacked. What should I do?

    My friends received emails from spa, as "Nicaea" with attachments, as if sent by me. I have deleted hundreds of "sent" items, but they keep appearing the next day. What should I do?

    Hello

    -Which email service provider subscribe?

    I suggest you to contact the email provider for the best support on the issue.

  • My account is spam and I can't stop it!

    For nearly two months now my account has sent hundreds of emails from spam to known contacts and also unknown email addresses.

    I contacted my domain name provider (nominalia.es) and they advised me to do a few things:

    1 change my password by e-mail, as well as the outgoing smtp password (done.  Twice.)

    2. install an antivirus.  (I have Avast Mac Security.  No viruses or other problems found),

    3. remove my email address of my site.  (Fact).

    Despite having followed all the advice, the problem continues as before.

    It's so boring that I am a user in a company and I'm spamming all my clients and friends and family.  I need to make that judgment.   I thought to give up my domain name and walk away with a new, but as an established business for a long time, that I really want to change my address web and e-mail, unless absolutely necessary.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    (I wanted to put that in a community of mail, but fails.  Please move my message if there is a better place for this).

    First of all, I would like to better understand the situation.

    Are the emails sent in bulk, or are they sent periodically to the various emails at different times?

    If you have a different e-mail Client, I would say you switch to that and see if the problem persists.

  • question of spam iMessage

    I created an email unique iCloud for my new iPhone SE. I've never used this email address anywhere except iTunes and the App Store installation. I use Apple Mail on my iPhone to retrieve the email for the account and never get any email to this account because I don't use it actively with the exception of the registration of Apple.

    I put it in place in iMessage and my phone number. I have never sent or received an iMessage using only my phone number ID.

    How is it possible to get Ray Ban sunglasses spam to my iMessages in these circumstances?  I have long been reluctant to get into the Apple ecosystem, but was convinced to do so by a friend. I had a Samsung before that and never once had SMS spam. Now I'm with Apple almost 3 weeks and I'm iMessage spam that appears to come through my Apple ID associated email.

    I am a very private person and feel somehow I had my privacy violated and worries me also pay Apple which I've also put in place related to my new Apple ID.

    I see a lot of complaints on the internet about spam iMessage. Given that I've been things carefully implemented and have used this email with Apple and it of their iCloud, can someone explain to me what's happened and if I had my information compromised?

    Thank you

    Messages of spam of all kinds are sent to hundreds of thousands of all the days of phones. Spammers don't care even if it is a valid number. Messages eventually went to a hundred random numbers at a time. Your number just happened to be one of these random numbers. Just delete the message and never interact with these spam messages.

  • Why not junk detector permanently delete suspicious mail rather than send it to the junk e-mail folder? SOLVED caused by McAfee spam controls

    Recently, from a month ago or so, when I open Thunderbird and it connects to my ISP to download new e-mail messages, e-mails that the Junk detector "think" might be spam, these emails are deleted immediately permanently instead of being moved to my Junk folder, as I've mentioned Thunderbird in all options on how to manage junk e-mail. I know that there have been e-mails that were sent to me for the first time by a new friend or colleague whom I have not yet put in my contacts folder. In fact, I know an e-mail in particular when someone sent me his email address in the email that comes to be obtained permanently deleted. So if anyone knows what's happening here and what I can do to stop this behavior, I'd be very grateful all assistance. This time, to monitor the activity, I connect to my e-mail through my ISP account so I can examine what is in the Inbox ready to be downloaded in Thunderbird before you start Thunderbird. It is a nuisance, but is the only way I know for the moment to monitor all my incoming mail. Thank you!

    Sorry for the delay in the publication... Disable McAfee spam controls solve my problem. All incoming messages marked as spam is successfully sent to my junk e-mail folder.

    It is likely that someone is just abusing your email address and send to any e-mail in your name. If there is no such thing as the Envoy to address then the mail is not delivered and you get a message Mailor Daemon. This will probably be the first of what happens, you will know.

    What to do:
    Do not respond to one of these emails - delete them.
    Add your own personal signature to your emails and send an email to all your friends saying that someone was abusing your email address. Tell them that real e-mails on your part will always be the special signature, as shown in this e-mail. Apologize for any inconvenience and then always use the signature in your emails.

    Finally, they give up and stop using it especially if they do not get people responding.
    Make sure that you do not show your email address in forums etc. Tell friends and family to never send or e-mails to other people that contain your e-mail address - ask them to remove email address if transmission. People tend to 'humorous' of other friends email transmission without removing all e-mail addresses before you send, and you do not know where are these emails.

  • How can I find my sent folder and trash and my spam folder? No present more in the left panel.

    Until today, I could access my SENT, TRASH, SPAM, folders etc. from a list on the left side of my screen or by clicking the "inbox" tab icon in the corner of the very top left of my screen of Thunderbird. (The little envelope with the green arrow pointing to the top immediately followed by "Inbox"). Now, it is totally insensitive.

    I click on View/Toolbars/and all four are verified - Mail toolbar, the menu bar, status bar, the quick filter bar

    I click Show folders / and 'All' is checked.

    I am desperate... If I lose messages sent, I will have lost tons of work for my nonprofit. I have Thunderbird for years and years and NEVER had anything like that happen. I can sent you screen caps,... whatever it is, but please help me find this info.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    When I closed all open tabs and then clicking on the remaining "Inbox" tab, the drop-down list contained the choice "Close other tabs"... but it is grayed out.

    I have solved my problem, but goes to the computer of a friend with Thunderbird and then study its configurations and could still access my Envoy, trash and spam folders just by dragging the left edge of the Thunderbird "inbox" to the right, revealing the other folders in the control panel. (Curiously, with email from Thunderbird to my friend, under display/layout (from the menu bar), there is an option to check the 'folders pane", but who was Ghost out before I dragged the left edge of my Thunderbird to reveal this part of the file.

    Thank you for your help.

  • Important emails going to spam

    I had several cases where I thought friends were very sick. These are people that I send and receive emails every day, and suddenly, they're going to the junk e-mail folder are. It's the same thing with a daily newsletter which I agree with.

    Worse, the messages generated by my clients to store cart began to go to junk. When I click on any one of them is no longer a 'not junk' button, so I drag them in my regular file. The only reliable cure is to make a rule for these contacts and the content of the message to go to my usual address.

    Unfortunately spam rules can be stripped.  I got to do my own custom rules better than to rely on the impressions of the own software which is undesirable.
