Quite a few people here just received some very suspect emails from an Xtra user containing links, Checking the headers show that the emails did originate from yahoo's servers

I know that some of telecoms IPs used for sending email are blacklisted on RBLs at the moment, so possibly related?

These came in from Yahoo! servers, but what about the original sender IP? If it's inside Telecom then probably malware related. If outside Telecom then yes, it could be something else.

I had some Xtra email issues this morning via PC and iPhone. The password kept getting denied. I had to manually log onto the Xtra webmail site with the SAME password and then restart the mail program and iPhone, to get them connecting again.

Good old xtra, still nothing in their status notification. Hard to believe (or is it?) that they aren't aware after 5 hours.

Ive had email pop3/imap issues for 2 weeks now.. in the end I gave up with it and now forward all emails to gmail instead

I did email telecom about it.. all I got was a cut and paste response they give to dumb users
saying its mail client problem LOL

basically auth for id/pwd pops up every 5 min after loggin in
web page way with same id/pwd its good to hear others
now reporting the same fault perhaps it will get resolved

you can find my original post about it on geekzone

Just be sure that when forwarding any emails to me, please include the full headers in the payload of the email.

How to get the headers can be found here depending on if you use a mail client or web mail:

WebMail: http://telecom.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4019
Mail Client: http://telecom.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14504

Many thanks.

kiwigeek1: Ive had email pop3/imap issues for 2 weeks now.. in the end I gave up with it and now forward all emails to gmail instead

I dumped telecom email last week (considering future ISP change) . Took me ages changing my emails at various sites -- apple took so much time, and some sites don't even allow you to change your password (shame on deal extreme!). I'd say 1/4 of websites were very difficult/impossible to change emails.

Really it is not good being tied to an ISP email so I recently went to...

IWantMyName.co.nz

Purchased my own domain ($30/Year??), and you can use google apps /free email hosting for your new domain passwords.

I can understand some sites with payment processor refusing to change email directly for security reasons but im sure dx.com will let you change it if contact them?

yeh I have many emails I can use.. you can even setup emails if you have hosting for a website over seas
but thats not the point..xtra mail shouldnt be this hard.. i once setup a free email with various places only for them to rid it and then charge at $30usd a year access its an extra expensive and they sucker you in to use it knowing its hard for one to change over espc if used it for many paying sites and friends

still dont explain why pop3/imap only works for 5min after web mail login ..
except they have changed something on servers or some new pop hack going on

sadly yahoo dont log access via pop/imap only web login so cant be sure if hacking is going on bruteforce
gmail does log all accesses though

I dont want to delete the sub account as it says can recreate it have to use a new nickname
as recreating account may fit the pop3 error dont know

forwarding seems to be the only option.. also pop peeper weblogin pluging dont work fully
body is empty I guess something is different then reg yahoo users account
