Re: Email problem

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Julie

It’s highly unlikely it came from your machine at all. More then likely it came 
from someone else’s infected computer, but spoofs your email address. This is 
how virus “work around it”.
When a computer gets infected, what some viruses will do is just go through the 
person’s address book and picks a “to” address, and a “from” address. Then 
repeats. So it “spoofs” who it actually comes from.
This way it’s harder to track down sometimes who the infected computer was. As 
your contractor thinks it came from you, and your computer doesn’t show it 
going out at all. Yet some “mutual” contact you both know more then likely is 
where the data was “collected” from.
This has some more info about it here - 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_spoofing

Basically, as their “definition” says,…
/quote
Alice is sent an infected email which she opens, running the worm code.
The worm code searches Alice's email address book and finds the addresses of 
Bob and Charlie.
From Alice's computer, the worm sends an infected email to Bob, but forged to 
appear to have been sent by Charlie.
In this case, even if Bob's system detects the incoming mail as containing 
malware, he sees the source as being Charlie, even though it really came from 
Alice's computer; meanwhile Alice may remain unaware that her computer has been 
infected.
/end quote

So more then likely all is fine on your computer, and it’s someone else that 
“pretended” to send out as you.
(email addresses are very easy to “spoof”. I could quite easily post an email 
to wamug which “looks” like it’s come from you, but I’ve actually sent it from 
my computer. Obviously I won’t and most people wouldn’t as it’s against our 
nature to be malicious, but I’m just using that as an example to show what I 
mean).
If however, you want to just check just incase you can run some of the free 
Virus checking software, and even Malware check just incase. Just be aware 
these can take many hours to run sometimes as it looks over all the files etc. 
And from my experience with client computers, it’s very very rare to find 
anything. (I’ve yet to have a client have a “real” virus on their computer in 
the 17 years of doing MacWizardry).
Some of the free Virus checks that people recommend are - 
Sophos -  https://home.sophos.com/free-mac-antivirus
ClamXAV - https://www.clamxav.com
Avast! - https://www.avast.com/en-au/free-mac-security

MalwareBytes can be downloaded here - 
https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

Just running the trial of one of them is fine, as if you do run it to scan, 
then you can just remove it once finished. 
But as mentioned, it’s more then likely it will have originated from you in the 
first place, so your computer should be fine.
We’re still pretty lucky in the Mac world for viruses (virii?) as we still 
really don’t get them. (and others may say they’re not running anything all the 
time either as has been the “normal” for many years. It’s not worth the 
“overhead” of computer resources or money.*
*In some places, it’s worth having, just for peace of mind, or a “requirement” 
to have it in certain businesses/organisations, but in generally the Mac is 
still pretty safe. 

Others may disagree with this, but from experience I’ve yet to see anything to 
prove otherwise from my workings around the place.

Hope all that info helps.

Kind regards
Daniel

Email problem

[Julie Bedford]

Hi All,

Hoping someone can enlighten me ….
I had a call from one of our contractors today saying that he had received an 
email from me yesterday, which was not for him.  When I checked it out, I 
didn’t send him an email.  He said something similar happened last year.   
Could this be a virus ?  I use El Capitan  and have held back upgrading to the 
latest OS.  Is there any software  out there to rid me of this virus, if that 
is what it is.  Incidentally I have never sent this contractor an email, so his 
address would not be in my system. 

Thanks

Re: Obscure email problem

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Tim & Rob,

Tim just jogged my memory ;-) I’ve never used Thunderbird but I vaguely 
remember a client used it for awhile, but had problems and I changed him over 
to Apple Mail.

I found a note I had kept on file regarding gmail and Thunderbird.
“When you send directly from Gmail's web mail page you are not using the same 
server that Thunderbird must use when it sends messages.
If the messages appear in your Sent folder it's possible that the problem 
involves a spam filter somewhere between you and the recipient.”

So perhaps try sending to this ‘troublesome person’ from your gmail web mail 
page.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Obscure email problem

[Tim Law]

Rob, 

If you can receive his emails, how about replying to him. Not you creating a 
new email, but replying to one he has sent you.

Perhaps reply using your gmail account, then your iinet account.

Re: Obscure email problem

Hi Ronda

Sorry about the delay - life has interceded.

I use Thunderbird, but I get no message about inability to deliver.

I looked at the 'all headers' info, and it didn't tell me much...


Still a mystery...

Re: Obscure email problem

Hi Tim
I have the right email address from my address book.

I got a colleague with a Gmail account to send a message to the 'problem 
person' and it got to him...


I'm thinking of getting the 'problem person' to try his webmail and see 
if he receives messages from me.


I'll keep investigating...

Re: Obscure email problem

Initially, they were group emails sent through Mailman (and I checked 
the settings). Once it was clear that this failed, we tried a direct, 
person-to-person email, and this also failed.


I don't think I've BCCed him at all.

Thinking about it, the person with the admin rights to the Mailman 
account is no longer with the organisation, so I haven't seen any bounce 
messages from Mailman. These might give a clue as to the problem.

I have told him repeatedly that the problem must be at his end. He has made 
sure that this email address isn't in his junk or blocked list.

He says that he has reviewed all the email security settings on his computer.


Re emails - your iinet ones are getting through to me; it's the gmails that 
don't even though it's on my safer senders list and not on the blocked one. 
Can't seem to get around this one but have changed the last possible security 
setting.

I'm just wondering if there's some setting on Gmail which might restrict my 
messages going to him.

If nobody knows, which is a good forum to ask?

Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob,

Are these group emails... bcc‘d? Or emails sent to only one recipient?

Obscure email problem

[Rob Phillips]

Greetings

This is a quite obscure problem, and not directly related to Macs. I'll 
understand if there is no response... :-)

is one person (a Windows user) who never receives my Gmail emails. 
Everybody else does!

WAMUG email problem

[Laura Webb]

Hi Ronni

I am aware that you like to tick off problems as they are solved. 

Before following your very excellent instructions to change POP accounts to 
IMAP, I decided to have one more try at returning to my original iinet email 
address which had originally appeared to be the problem. 

As far as I can ascertain it seems the MacMini and MBP support both POP and 
IMAP, the latter for iCloud, while my iPad only supports POP. So as long as I 
highlight the POP account in MacMini and MBP, all devices are using POP.

I am delighted that having done that, everything is back as it was and 
regardless of IMAP apparently being the preferred choice, I am happy to stay 
with what I have. It’s been yet another learning experience.

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards
Laura

Re: WAMUG email problem

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Laura,

For some reason when I replied to your WANUG post it replied to your email 
address and not to WAMUG mailing list as it should have. 

Thanks for letting us know your results. If you are happy using all POP mail 
accounts that is fine, it is your choice.

 As far as I can ascertain it seems the MacMini and MBP support both POP and 
 IMAP, the latter for iCloud, while my iPad only supports POP. So as long as I 
 highlight the POP account in MacMini and MBP, all devices are using POP.

Your above comment is not quite correct. Apple Mail OS X on your Macs supports 
POP  IMAP as does Mail on your iOS devices (iPhone/iPad) 
If your ISP supports IMAP - you can setup IMAP accounts in Apple Mail on your 
Macs, and IMAP accounts on your iPhone/iPad.
(I have six (6) active Mail accounts on my Mac and my iPhone  iPad... Five are 
IMAP accounts and One is POP.)

On your iPad - Settings  Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Add Account - Other

If you are having a problem with iOS Mail not allowing you to select IMAP and 
you are certain that your ISP does support IMAP, post back and I will explain 
how to correct it.

Is your iCloud account setup on your iPad? iCloud is IMAP

Cheers,
Ronni

Email problem

[Gavin McGuren]

Hi folks, hoping someone may be able to help with a problem one of the
designers at my work is having. His Mac mail program is not responding when
he opens it and emails are not downloading. This has been the case since he
downloaded a security update today. 

He has contacted our server and they say the problem is not at their end and
he also can't get any response by logging into webmail. He has done a search
and read about similar problems in some online forums but hasn't found any
solution.

Thanks

email problem

[KEVIN Lock]

eMac 700mhz 10.3.9 Plenty of memory, using Eudora (sponsored mode) 
and Apple Mail.


If we receive an email message with an attachment I can forward the 
message without any problems, however if a message arrives with 
graphics embedded in the text, the graphics do not  forward with the 
text.


Is this a PC/Mac problem and can it be remedied?

TIA,

Kev

Hi Kev,

Under 'Edit', there is a function named Paste as HTML.
Perhaps you should try copying the body of the subject email, and  
then Paste as HTML?


It appears to me to do what you desire, but may best be done in a new  
message, rather than a Forward.


Cheers,

Ronni

Re: email problem

[Steven]

I know with MS Outlook you need to use either the 'Redirect' function, or
'Forward as Attachment', in order to retain full graphics and html
formatting. If you just use Forward or Reply, it doesn't work.
