Re: Spam Messages
Thanks for all the good advice. In this case there was no problem recognizing the messages as spam, with subject of "Re:" and only a shortened link in the body. My main concern was determining whether the friend's computer had malware vs. the from address being spoofed. The friend is in TN, and Comcast is the provider. The whatismyemailaddress.com/trace-email analysis shows this: Source: The source host name is "resmail-po-385v.sys.comcast.net" and the source IP address is 162.150.177.140. Geo-Location Information Country United States State/RegionTX Should the different state source location indicate that the source is not my friend's computer? Should the friend contact Comcast support about this? I already recommended that the friend do malware scans of the computer, using multiple applications. NFN Smith wrote: Cecil Bankston wrote: I am receiving spam or scam messages, consisting of only a shortened link, from the e-mail address of a friend. If the messages actually originate in the friend's computer, should they always be found in the friend's sent folder? If the from address is being spoofed, is there an easy way to distinguish that? As noted separately, if your friend is in the habit of sending links, encourage him to include text that will positively identify himself. And if there's no identification, he should know that you will assume that they're spam (even if legitimate). I suppose you could go the route of replying to the message, quoting verbatim (although munging the URL slightly, so that it can't be clicked on, if it's malicious), with a query of "is this from you?" It's not impossible that your friend could be malware-infected, but when that kind of thing happens, malware normally uses its own infrastructure to send. Unless it's something like the LoveBug worm of years ago, where Outlook was automatically executing scripts (and replicating by scanning the victim's address book and sending to all those addresses), malware is very unlikely to actually touch the victim's mail client. One of the things that I see a lot is where a message has a distribution list of about 10-12 addresses, in alphabetic order. Often, several of the addresses may be ones that I recognize, and may even have some in my address book. When that happens, it's likely that either the purported sender (or somebody that that person knows) has gotten malware-infected, and that the malware has harvested the victim's contact lists. From there, the sending mechanism segments the harvested list into batches of about 10 addresses each. By not using Bcc: addressing, that helps with delivery in several ways: recipients who work from servers where an address in an address book is whitelisted, recipients who recognize other addresses in the distribution list, and getting around servers that may stall or reject messages that have no distribution lists (i.e., all the addresses are Bcc:). For actual sending, use of botnets is common, where there are multiple victims. The mailing is sent to the first victim's contacts, but where the actual point of injection to the Internet begins with additional victims, whose computers are in botnets that include rogue mail servers. It's generally pretty easy to identify a spoof -- all you have to do is to use CTRL-U to look at the message headers, and see Received: lines from domains that don't match the domain in the From: line. For the major freemail providers, Gmail, Yahoo and AOL all have DKIM signatures. Hotmail/Outlook/MSN isn't currently using DKIM, but a message that shows an Outlook.com return address will have Received: headers that show hotmail.com. In this layout, you may see a message that purports to show your friend's email address in a From: line (say, at Yahoo), and where distribution list may include several people or addresses you recognize. However, a check of the message headers shows no indication of Yahoo servers (especially Yahoo's DKIM signature), and that the message traveled through a server in Poland or South Korea. If you're really into digging, it's not hard to find the IP address of where the message was injected, and if you know how to run a Whois check or a traceroute, you can identify the ISP where the message originated. For the messages that are junk (or you suspect are junk), mark them as Junk, and let Seamonkey put them into the Junk folder. For junk handling, it's important to understand that the filtering system is based on Bayesian logic (where, if something is designated as junk, other stuff that's sufficiently similar is also designated as junk -- and the same way for not junk). The Mozilla implementation of Bayesian is not nearly as elaborate as with SpamAssassin, but it's generally workable. The other thing to know is that if a message has been designated as junk or not junk, that's based on the entire message, the combination of headers, body and attachments, not jus

Cecil, have you tried a File->Compact Folder? When you move a file from one folder to another folder (in SeaMonkey), it is not actually moved but copied, so the file also remains in the original folder, just hidden from view. When you File->Compact Folder, all these hidden bits are removed, so reducing the size of the file, making it easier when next you have to move stuff. File->Compact Folder is most effective if you have done a File->Empty Trash before hand as well. I just tried the Copy to function from the context menu for the newsgroup message, and it worked perfectly. I suppose the lesson is not to try using drag and drop for news messages. The archive folder, which now displays its contents normally, was not affected by compacting, as I had not deleted any messages from the folder. -- C.

I edited a copy of an existing checkbox btn file in my PrefBar, using NotePad, and imported it for the H.284. With the box unchecked the SegmentNext video still autoplays. I tried to do the same for WebM, but when I tried to import the btn file it didn't appear in the enabled list. There was no error message. The Playwire site that links from the SegmentNext video mentions a "Bolt Media Player" for HTML5 videos. How is that related to H.284 or GStreamer? -- C.

Add Securiy Exception
Recently, every time SeaMonkey starts to download my new Gmail messages it shows an Add Security Exception message indicating an invalid certificate, which I have to click to continue. The details show that it appears to be related to my Avast antivirus checking the SSL secured messages. I leave Permanently store this exception checked, but that seems to have no effect, as the message still pops up each time mail is checked. Is there any way to ensure that Seamonkey actually does store the exception? -- C.

Re: Add Securiy Exception
Thanks. Importing the certificate stopped the annoying popup message. I still wonder whether the lack of response to checking the Permanently store this exception box is a bug.

Is there any way to ensure that Seamonkey actually does store the exception? The best solution is to install the Avast root certificate in Seamonkey. The installation is automatic for Thunderbird and clients that rely on the Windows root certificate store (e.g. Outlook), but not for Seamonkey. The procedure is outlined here (for Thunderbird, but it can easily be adapted to Seamonkey): https://feedback.avast.com/responses/mail-shield-related-ssl-eror-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate But, in a nutshell, you have to export the Avast certificate from the Windows certificate manager and import it to Seamonkey. -- C.

Browser Location Bar: Select on Click
Previously when I would click in the browser location bar it would select the address that already was there so I could just start typing the new address to replace the old. Now I have to triple-click or drag select the old address before I can type the new one. I couldn't find a preferences option that related to this behavior.

OK, I opened both links in SM and both links in IE and A/B-ed them using Alt-Tab to switch back and forth between the two applications. For each page, the color scheme was the same in the two programs; the main difference was that IE didn't have ads blocked, and there were some slight differences in the rendering of line spacing. I see that the New files today page has a darker gray background behind the file names, so the two pages are somewhat different, but the difference is not between SM and IE, it's between your two pages. In that sense, you're right. I haven't explored your CSS to see whether the classes you use are defined differently. Thanks for checking. I suppose the different rendering on my computer will remain one of the great mysteries. In case I was misunderstood, the site is not mine. I am only a user. -- C.

Time to start looking at Opera and/or Chrome if this nonsense keeps up. So far all the addons I use have installed and worked normally after a simple edit of the maxVersion value in the install.rdf files in their xpi installation archives. When you browse to the web page for the addon, just right-click the link for the installer and choose Save link target as to save the xpi file to your computer instead of left-clicking to install it. With 7-Zip it's easy to open the archive (xpi), edit the install.rdf, and add the edited version back to the archive. Then just double-click the edited xpi to get SeaMonkey to install it. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
