How to retrieve a forgotten Yahoo! Mail password

postfix – How to Trace Who was Using my Mail Relay on Spamming?

I have a Postfix mail relay server running as Exchange smarthost as well as hosting another mail locally.

Last week I observed an attack on this server, someone is using it to send massive emails to different destinations.

I can’t find out where it is connected from and the “from” address is also masked.

Below is the mail logs:

How to check where is the attack source? Is there a way to limit only a specific range of domains that can be used for mail relay?

I’m not a Postfix professional, so any suggestions/advises would be appreciated.

icloud – Mail box folder disappeared

Catalina 10.15.7, Mail 13.4 2015 iMac.

My IMAP iCloud Mail setup has lots of mailboxes. Out of the blue, I see at the bottom of the left side: “Downloading 8,547 of 10,633 messages”

I look around as this is going on and see that a major mailbox/folder is missing. (“COMPUTERS” !!)

I see there is a new master folder “!Mail” and at then bottom of it, a newly created mailbox/folder “COMPUTERS” with just one message in it.

Where has the original COMPUTERS mail folder gone???

Thanks for any ideas….

login – Specific messages for wrong password or wrong mail – which is the correct practice?

This is one of the great debates: should developers be in charge of decisions about user interaction, even if related to security? IMHO, the answer is NO. You’re the one that defines the interactions and the flow, you’re the one that knows a lot of things developers won’t know.

As a matter of fact, the man who created some of the most ludicrous password requirements followed by most sites and applications admitted he was wrong and his own recommendations do more harm than good!

So, if your developer says there are security concerns, there might be a chance he is correct (hint: there always are security concerns, doh!), but his work is to work around those concerns, not to tell you your work is wrong just because.

From an usability point of view, what you did is correct. You’re helping users know there’s a problem with ONE field, so they can correct it. If you don’t do this, user will need to try different combinations of user/pass, probably locking her out of the system, blocking access and frustrating the user to incredible levels. Reducing friction is always good, so if you can reduce it… do it!

As for the argument “they will know part of the combination”, hackers don’t just type addresses until they find one. They use sophisticated algorithms that are completely automated, so the worse that may happen is the hacker will be delayed. On the other hand, your user will go bananas.

Besides, it’s a known fact that most users have 1 or 2 “secure” passwords. After you start to kick them out and have them create passwords, they end doing the obvious thing: create easy memorable passwords, such as… birth dates. Or just write their passwords on a paper they take with them, or a file in their computer or phone (thus, opening the door to anyone that steals their wallet or phone, or have access to their computer. The ANTI-SECURITY at its best!)

Since I know you speak Spanish, take a look to this article: Cuando más seguridad es igual a inseguridad and you’ll be able to see some of teh concerns around passwords, general security and its UX implicantions. It includes a study we did over 48 users (it’s related to credit cards, but some of the insights apply to your case)

Your approach is correct, you’re reducing friction, hence users will have more control, won’t be blocked and won’t need to create insecure passwords every time you block them out. It’s up to the developer to create the correct security measures for a good approach, it’s LITERALLY their job

If a contact is deleted in Yahoo mail, will it also delete the contact on the android phone’s contact list?

If a phone number is deleted off of yahoo mail, will the number also be deleted off of the android device? If so, can the number reappear automatically or must it be reentered manually to reappear in yahoo mail contact?

stored procedures – SQL Server Management Send Mail as Part of a Job

I have a SQL Job that I would like to send an email through, but for some reason I can’t get any details on why the email is not sending. This code works as expected when executed in the query window, and SQL Server Agent will also send error emails to me, so my email profile seems to be set up correctly. The code:

BEGIN
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'MailProfile',
@recipients = 'myaccount@emailcom',
@subject = 'Bad Data Report',
@query = N' USE Database;
   DECLARE @yesterday date = getdate() - 1;  select * from Timecards WHERE Date = @yesterday AND (DailyHours > 24.1 OR DailyHours < 0 ) ',
@exclude_query_output = 1,
@attach_query_result_as_file = 1,
@query_result_header = 1,
@query_attachment_filename = 'BadDataQuery.txt'
END

Following some advice from similar issues on this site, I tried looking through sysmail_allitems and sysmail_faileditems, but neither log any attempts to send. I also created a stored procedure that I had the job call as a roundabout way to send the email, but that also did not send an email nor leave an error. Any ideas what might be going on?

email client – Big Sur opens gmail instead of mail app

Since my upgrade to Big Sur, the mail links in my address book open Gmail (in a chrome browser).
Default mail account is set to an iCloud account and still gmail opens.

Are there any other prefs to disable this annoying behaviour?

Besides that, MS Excel (on mac) shows a PDF in chrome after clicking “Share as pdf…”, befiore the upgrade, it opened my default mail program (apple mail in the pre-big sur era)

I have forgotten my Yahoo! Mail account password. What is the procedure to retrieve my password?

Note that I’m not asking where the link is. I want to learn about the procedure (i.e. if they ask me about my birthday, the secret question which I defined years ago, etc.).

Following Yahoo!’s I can’t access my account link on the main page, Yahoo! takes you to Forgot Password page along with a Captcha, asking for your alternate e-mail address. If you provide it, Yahoo! sends your password to that e-mail address. If you skip alternate e-mail verification, Yahoo! asks 2 secret questions that you’ve already provided for your account. If you give the correct answers, you are allowed to reset the password of your account.

Yahoo’s Forgot Password Link: https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot – At which point you be asked to fill in your Yahoo account name along with a Captcha, then Yahoo will email a link to an account listed in Yahoo account as the backup email account. Click the link and reset your password.
