When something comes in that gets sent straight to my junk mail folder, a notification STILL pops up... Also of note, I would like to stop notifications for my RSS feeds... I love my RSS feeds but this is ridiculous.

Is there a way to get an account on Pidgin, say an MSN account that has the option to display email notifications checked, to open a selected email client such as Evolution or Thunderbird instead of opening Hotmail in a tab in Firefox?

I am using CentOS 5.3. I was half way through that and got an email that had ***SPAM*** in the subject. Haven't received any more. First of all I want to know if spam will still get delivered, and just have a modified subject. Second, I want to know how to set it up so Spam goes to a user's spam mailbox (Virtual Users). And third of all, is it possible to disable spam filtering on a user basis, preferably using MySQL tables? Is it possible for users to mark a message as spam, and all further messages sent from that address will be sent to spam folder but only for that user?
EDIT: Yes spam is getting delivered with a modified header, on the server site, how can i deliver to spam folder? how to create IMAP virtual mailboxes on request without having to send an email to them first? Using virtual users with Courier Imap
I have those notifications bubbles that appear right and top of my Screen.
Besides being RIDICULOUSLY big, i don't need them
I don't know if it is the same, but they look like this:
NOTE THIS PICTURE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE I FOUND ON THE INTERNETS - I WANT TO DISABLE ALL NOTIFICATIONS
I currently have the following email server set up:
Postfix with mysql backend
Dovecot
clamav
spamassassin
amavisd
And it all works great. However I would like it for amavisd to forward all the marked spam into a folder on each user account, but I cannot figure this out.
Thanks to Lucid not working properly on i845, i855 and other 8xx chips, had to re-install Karmic on my mum's computer.I saved all the data from her old install and I ve managed to get all her old emails from thunderbird, but I cant import her address book.In Thunderbird/tools/import/addressbooks it only allows importing of LDIF, .tab, .csv and .txt files, but I cant find any of these files in any of the Thunderbird, .Thunderbird, Mozilla-Thunderbird or Mozilla folders in Home folder or anywhere, all I can find is "abook.mab" which IS supposed to be her address book, but when I try and import it the entries are blank and/or indecipherable (prob cos not a compatible file type).
Its one of those "simple" things to do, thats taken hours and hours of time, but that I cant actually find out how to do.
I had a portable apps version of Thunderbird (windows) that runs off a thumb drive and wanted to take the settings and transfer them to my Thunderbird that's on my Linux computer.
This is what I did:
First, I installed thunderbird on my Ubuntu 10.04 Linux box and opened it, and closed it (so that it would create the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder in the user account).
Then, I renamed the linux /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder to .thunderbird_ORIGINAL
Then, I created a new /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder
Then, I took the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableDataprofile folder and copied it to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
Then, I looked into the /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL folder and wrote down the name of the folder with the ".default" extension.
Then, I renamed the profile folder (that came from the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableData folder) "<name-I-wrote-down>.default".
And then, I copied the profiles.ini folder from /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
I opened up Thunderbird in Linux and everything seems fine! (I'll definitely be keeping a backup just in case)
My question is: is this fine and dandy, or a recipe for disaster?
I run version 10.04 GNOME. My problem is (after substantial searching) that I need to have both users ('juliusz' and 'sarah') running Thunderbird but with the same profile (settings, email, accounts etc. preferably of 'juliusz'). The only results on the internet are share Thunderbird between Windows and Ubuntu.
I have two users juliusz and sarah. I need either of them to have the same profile, always in synch whenever they logon to own account. When I tried to edit sarah's /home/sarah/.mozilla-thunderbird/profile.ini by inserting: Path=/home/juliusz/.mozilla-thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default after i run Thunderbird for 'sarah' I get message: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." I checked with "ps aux" there is no Thunderbird running in sarah's session. There is no Thunderbird running in juliusz's session when I reloged to juliusz.

I, as many here, have friends on different IM accounts (and btw, so great that we have pidgin and empathy and not have to deal with 3 different softwares to talk to them) and of all that I have... which are not so many... one of them sends me spam, not all the time, but it happens and I kind of feel sorry for her so I'd like to see if there's a way for her to retake control of her account or if she can't do anything at all with it.
I have other friends in MSN but I get spam only from her and she's given up on how to fix it cause she doesnt know how to. I did a search (and keep looking for more in the web) and so far it doenst look promising (but is also because I dont know what else to do). The problem is I get messages which I know for sure are spam, cause her english is more limited and the messages are very polished in that regard.
I got this from another discussion elsewhere: "troutbot = These bots get your IM from scraping the Internet screenname and connect you randomly to someone else. While you're talking to the troutbot, they're just an intermediary connecting you to some other guy who also had his IM scraped." So far the times I get spam... the other side never answers, but if my friend is online she can. I thought that on these IM services... if you are logged in nobody else can log in with your username/password...

I had setup postfix and spam assassin, and in my environment, I forward the incoming email to my exchange server.
Everything works now, in my mail box, I can receive the email with subject ******SPAM*****. but is there a solution, when spam assassin finished the scan and mark spam, if the score is very high, may be stop to forward it to exchange, for example, send it to a special email box?
I have installed 11.4, and it seems (seemed) to work OK so far. I installed Thunderbird via the opensuse "1 click install". the installation ran smoothly, but now a click on the Thunderbird icon does not activate any mail client; the only success is that Thunderbird icon jumps joyfully and then disappears.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe have a vpn that is accessible to anyone. We already block port 25, 587 and 465. But I am still receiving spam reports. I believe that the users of my vpn is infected by a virus or something that sends spam. Are there any other ways that spammer send spam mails without using the smtp ports?
My guess is that they are trying to send it by accessing a webmail. Have you heard of anything like that? how to block spam?
I've got a web server that's hosting a few sites, and there are a few WordPress instances with these sites. With Wordpress, whenever a user registers with the site, they receive an email.With my server, it sends mail via Sendmail. This is all fine and good, except no matter what, it's flagged as spam. Is there any way to correct this?Keep in mind that this isn't a mail server, and the only reason the server ever sends mail is for new wordpress users and password resets.
View 8 Replies View RelatedAfter reading everything that says you don't need an anti-virus for Linux. OR Linux doesn't get viruses. Guess what I have a Virus. I don't know which one, but it is sending out spam emails from my webmail, MSN, account. I do not have a local client installed. I am guessing it is linking into MSN through Pidgin, getting the addresses there, and sending the spam, somehow, through MSN. Actually one MSN and one Hotmail account. I also have not been able to find an anti-virus program for Ubuntu. There do not seem to be any listed in the software repositories that Ubuntu links into. How do I get rid of it? My contacts are starting to get upset.
View 9 Replies View RelatedVery new to Ubuntu and Linux so this may be a simple one. I've recently setup an Ubuntu Server 10.04 box as a mail relay running Postfix and Amavisd-new (Spamassassin & ClamAV) and this has been working really well. I started to get a few emails through today with the following header[URL]..(removed domain name) The name's always in quotes and random. The fqdn is that which I configured in postfix as $myhostname. I can't figure out how this address is being used. This box is only used for incoming mail and acts as a relay to Exchange. Exchange doesn't send out through it. The only thing that may be going outwards is bounced messages from Exchange which are almost exclusively to linkedin.
The fqdn isn't public. This box isn't even part of our internal domain, it's just named that way with manual DNS added. Anyone seen this before? Will this header have been part of the message when it arrives at postfix or could this have been added by postfix itself?
I want to read my emails locally using Evolution & Thunderbird or some other mail client. I have bought a new domain and would want incoming emails sent to this domain ids to be scanned by a virus scanner & spam filter.I have read that MailScanner + SpamAssasin is a good combination/option. Are there any others for my requirement.I am not a Linux/Ubuntu expert - so a detailed step by step tutorial to set this up is what i am looking for.I am using Ubuntu 10.04 home user.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to log the notifications that show up in the desktop? For example:
a)When pidgin notifies you that you have a new message can you "save" that notification?
b)When transmission informs you that a torrent finished downloading can you log that notification?
Or if you can't log them can you make a script that "catches" those notifications? What I want to do is that when a certain notification pops it triggers an app or a script. So if I can log the notifications I can "watch" for changes in the log file and trigger something; or if can "catch" the notification I could also do that. I think it can, somehow, be done with d-bus but I can't find my way around the documentation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Debian Jessie + KMail on desktop side. My mail server has Spamassassin installed. My problem is that I receive some spam and it goes though the server-side filtering.
I mark all messages as SPAM in KMail but neither KMail or the server learn that those are spam and should not enter the inbox.
How to get rid of the messages? Unsubscribing is not an option - I don't want to click on any link contained in the mails.
We have a spam in our network and we installed antivirus in all our systems and cleaned the virus from all pc's after that i had removed my ip from the database of blocked ip's but still my ip is blocked for sending spam i don't know from which pc the spam is going on the internet.
so i have a question that my proxy server is redhat linux and as a newbie i don't know the command's to find out which pc is creating large bandwidth to the internet. If you tell the command how to see which pc is sending spam then i will discard that pc. Also i want a strong firewall to stop spam activities.
As of recently I've started receiving IM messages on one of my windows messenger accounts that I'm using with Pidgin that appear to be coming from certain contacts that have already been blocked. The messages are spam with a link to [URL]. Most probably there is something wrong with my security settings.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a system running at home that uses Getmail to retrieve mail from my ISP's pop server. Dovecot then offers that mail over IMAPs to my desktops running Thunderbird.
The reason I have resorted to using Getmail is because I don't have a static IP (from my ISP) for my server, and thus this server doesn't act as an MX.
I have implemented Spamassassin in my Getmail script as described here.
From further research, I understand that in order to fully utilize Spamassassin 's potential, I have to resort to training it with SA learn.
Currently I still receive spam messages, but 50% of spam is marked as ****SPAM****, and the other half is not marked at all.
My question is this:
1) How do I get getmail to move messages marked as spam by spamassasin to be moved to a JUNK folder within my mailbox automatically?
2) I thought of creating a folder where my users can move messages they deem to be spam, and set up a crontab script to invoke salearn regularly on this folder to get the bayes engine to learn from it. Is this the correct way of doing it?
