My wife's email has been getting filled with hundereds of emails with this in them this morning. I don't see where anyone else is having this problem today, but I wanted to see if it's on iCloud's end or ours.




Processing errors occurred during delivery:


Recipient address: xxx@me.com

Reason: Error in sieve filter: Unknown function/variable found: church around input line 79 [ stop; } require " f^ileinto"; if header ]


Delivery processing continued in spite of these errors.

My Wife and I both have an Ipad and an iPhone, I use an iMac and my wife a MacBook Pro.


I have this problem with all my devices.

My wife has NOT got this problem.


We both use a ...@me.com email acount.


Just compared the settings:


For "Incoming server" I have p03-imap.mail.me.com

My Wife has p02-imap.mail.me.com .... and has not got this problem.


------


I have setup a new rule for incoming mails (for the meantime):

move all incoming emails from postmaster@mac.com to trash and delete it.


Works fine for now,......until APPLE deals with the problem.

It's a server misconfiguration on Apple's end regarding spam protection. They fixed it last time and I assume they'll fix it again.


I agree with RTONLINE - the best solution right now is a rule to trash them. This helped meRe: Reason: Error in sieve filter: Unknown function/variable found: church around input line 79 [ stop; } require " f^ileinto"; if header ]


I am concerned though, that Apple seems to have a lot of configuration issues with their spam filters.
