System Administrator message

Do you have more than one device downloading your email?

Have you been able to resolve this issue. I am having the same problem with ~35 emails a day populating my inbox from System Administrator stating "This message is no longer available on the server."

How is your email set up? IMAP or POP? Are any devices retrieving mail from the server via POP?

My mac and iphone have IMAP account's on them.

I am concerned about what or who originated the message, as it did not come from the ISP

This message wouldn't come from your ISP, it would come from the email server. I reread the whole thread and saw you only use IMAP, disregard my previous post. Try contacting support related to the email server host, whatever domain you may use.

This is what I get when I contact support.

These aren't true emails, because they are missing all the common requirements of an email such as 'Received' and 'Date' headers. This message was not generated by the SMTP application that receives all email from the internet and puts it in the mailbox. Something else placed it there. More over, the mail server is smart enough that it wouldn't refer to itself as 'localhost', only a poorly configured server wouldn't put their true name in.

Here's a clue:

So it would appear the mail server is running the same patch this person proposes in this email. Whenever your email client requests a messageID that doesn't exist (anymore), it returns this string and apparently creates an item in your inbox.

The timestamps on the files above seem to coincide with an IMAP login:
Jan 22 17:46:52 atlas2 imapd: LOGIN, user=josey@osteo.ca, ip=[::ffff:24.234.221.37], port=[50921], protocol=IMAP

Perhaps because the headers are missing, the email client might repeated request the messages without recognizing them as being something it has seen before and present them as new emails.

I removed the four emails from the inbox. Lets see if they come back. If they do, I might ask you to 'reindex' or 'repair' the inbox mailfolder in the email client.

He states I should reindex or repair the inbox folder. I'm not sure how to do that for mac2011 outlook.

Josey,

Please start your own thread to ask your question. Community members will respond to your question directly and the subsequent details. Thanks.

Geoffrey,

Thanks for the status update.

They could not tell me who originated the message or any broad description of the content.

Your ISP wouldn't, but the host server could. Who is the email provider?

nbar,

My apologies on improper discussion forum etiquette. Thanks for your assistence and reminder a new post is required for a different question.

nbar,

I'm not sure who my email provider is. I'll have to discuss further with my site support and hopefully result in posting a solution.

@domain would be the host email server. Both the host and your ISP have filtering criteria. Your ISP has delineated theirs. You would need to contact the host, or modify those filtering options directly, to get the full picture.

No need to apologize, it would just help you solve your issue faster. You can click 'I have this question too' on the original post if it is the exact same, but you're concerns will be more immediately addressed by starting a new thread. Regards.
