The simplest form of sending data by email using HTML and PHP. Backup SMS to E-Mail

If you receive a message, there are several actions you can take from the messages.

To reply to the sender only, select answer.

To reply to the sender and all other recipients on the To and Cc lines, select Reply all.

To send a message to someone not in the To field or line copy, highlight forward.

Replying and forwarding messages is one of the most common tasks in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. This section provides basic information about replying and forwarding messages. Help with customizing your messages, such as changing the background or adding attachments, is available in other topics.

Reply to sender

Note:

Reply to the sender and all recipients of the message

You can reply to the sender of the message and all users specified in the fields To whom And Copy.

In many cases, it is not necessary to include all users in the response. Use the function Reply all with caution, especially if you have a large number of recipients or mailing lists. If you need to write only to the sender of the message, it is recommended to use the button Answer. Additionally, you can remove the names of people or mailing lists who don't need to read the response.

Advice: If you only need to write to one of the recipients, you can remove the others. To do this, click the recipient's name in the field To whom or Copy(the name will be highlighted) and press the DELETE key.

Note: By default, when you reply to an email message, the original message is included in the body of the message. See the section to change this setting.

Forwarding a message

Advice: If you want to forward multiple messages, select the first one and hold down the CTRL key while selecting the remaining messages, and then click Forward. All messages will be forwarded as attachments to a new message.

Do one of the following:

If a message is selected but not opened in a separate window. On the standard toolbar, click the button Forward.

If the message is open. On the tab Message in the group Answer click the button Forward.

Create a message.

In the field To whom enter the names of the recipients.

Note: In the fields To whom, Copy And SK At least one valid email recipient must be specified.

To select recipient names from the list, click To whom, Copy or SK.

More about fields Copy And SK

Copy: A copy of the message is sent to all recipients specified in this Outlook message field. In this case, their names will be visible to all other recipients of this message.

SK: The name of this field is short for "bcc". All recipients specified in this field of the email message will receive a copy of the message, but their names will not be visible to other recipients of the message. If, when creating a new message, the field SK is not displayed, it can be added.

On the tab Options in the group Fields select item Display the "BC" field.

Click the button Send.

Cancel automatic inclusion of original message

Troubleshoot problems where the Submit button is missing

In the absence of a command Send it is impossible to send a message. This section provides information about finding a command Send, possible reasons for its absence are indicated and actions to correct this problem are listed.

Button Send is located next to the "To", "Cc" and "Bcc" fields.

If you don't have an email account configured in Outlook 2007, the command Send is not displayed and messages cannot be sent.

In most cases, Outlook 2007 is used with an email account. However, there are a number of reasons why an email account might not be set up:

Outlook 2007 is configured without email support. In rare cases, Outlook 2007 may be configured to manage only contacts, tasks, or calendars.

The email account setup was interrupted. The first time you launched Outlook 2007, account setup was not completed.

The account configuration file is corrupt. Corruption of the configuration file that is used to store email account configuration information may result in a previously configured email account not being visible.

Note: You can open an Outlook data file called a personal folders (.pst) file, view received messages, and open the compose message window using the commands Create, Answer, Reply all or Forward. However, if no email account is configured, the Send will not be displayed.

Checking account availability

First, make sure your email account is set up.

If on the list Name on the tab E-mail There are no entries, there are no email accounts configured in the Outlook profile.

Lately, I have been periodically encountering incoming messages like such and such a message from me was not delivered to such and such a place, but the body of the letter is crammed with some kind of heresy with links, etc. Everything would be fine, but I didn’t send such messages there and this is the first time I’ve seen their contents.

What is spoofing and how does it work

The text below is taken from .

If you receive an error message when sending a message from your account, find messages in your Spam folder that list you as the sender, or receive a reply to a message you didn't send, you may be a victim of spoofing. Spoofing is the forging of outgoing mail return addresses in order to hide the true origin of a message.
When sending a message by mail, the return address is usually indicated on the envelope. This allows the recipient to establish the identity of the sender, and the postal service to return the letter to the sender if necessary. However, nothing can prevent the sender from indicating someone else's address instead of his own. This means that another person can send a letter and use your return address on the envelope. Email works the same way. When the server sends an email, it specifies the sender, but the sender field can be spoofed. If someone has misplaced your address in a message, if there is a delivery problem, the message will be returned to you, even if you did not send it.
If you receive a response to an email that was not sent from your address, there may be two reasons for this.
The letter was forged and your address was listed as the sender's address.
The real sender included your return address, so all replies are sent to you.

None of these options mean that your account has been accessed by someone else, but if you are concerned about its security, you can check the history of recent accesses to your account. On the inbox page, scroll down and click on the link Additional information next to the line.

Afterword

So we don’t panic - it’s just that the attackers are once again trying to lure us by hook or by crook using all sorts of left-wing links. Such letters, of course, are ignored and deleted without clicking on the links.

By the way, you should never forget about it.

PS: Warning questions: on the topic of “additional information” and “recent actions in the account” - relevant only for mailboxes Gmail.

Surprisingly, many people, when they need to send an email to several people at once, simply list the addresses in the "To" field, this is normal when this email is addressed to your colleagues or friends, but when sending letters to a group of clients, you are thus showing everyone addresses of other recipients, essentially revealing your address base.

All your clients need to do is forward this letter to your competitor and your contacts will immediately leak.

It’s strange, but many far from stupid people are surprised to learn that if you need to send a letter to many recipients so that they do not know about each other, then there is a “Bcc” field for this.

For example, for mail.ru it will look like this:

And so once again briefly:indicated the addresses in “to” - everyone can see to whom you sent the letters, indicated in “blind carbon copy” - everyone thinks that the letter is only for him.

And each recipient will receive a letter where in the “to” field there will be just his address . For other programs, if you can't find where to BCC, ask someone to show you. Another small point, you must specify one address in the “to” field; most programs or mail servers will not allow you to send a letter without this parameter.

And so, when it comes to sending out offers, news to a group of your clients - here the practice of using blind copy is clear, you must hide your address base. An interesting point about sending a letter to your colleagues, here it is recommended to act according to the situation, for example, sending a letter with a request to send suggestions (for example, to improve customer service) and if each colleague sees that other people have received the same letter, then most likely they will not respond - will rely on others, which means you need to use a hidden copy. If this order is carried out, then, for example, indicating your colleague’s boss will simply work wonders, and your order will be carried out.

A separate issue with suppliers. On the one hand, indicating all recipients in the copy should show the supplier that you have a choice and he should offer you good prices. On the other hand, the manager who received your letter, seeing that it was sent not only to him, will most likely treat your request “coolly”. Personally, in my opinion, I think that in the case of suppliers, it is necessary to use a hidden copy, at least to protect trade secrets, but more likely for a good relationship with the supplier’s manager.

You can read a recent case of a specialist’s mistake, when all recipients saw other recipients: Smacks to everyone in this chat, there were really respectable people there - directors, but still many received spam in response.

Well, as always, discussion in the comments is welcome.

According to various sources, from 50 to 95% of all emails in the world are spam from cyber fraudsters. The goals of sending such letters are simple: to infect the recipient’s computer with a virus, to steal user passwords, to force a person to transfer money “to charity”, to enter their bank card details or to send scans of documents.

Often spam is annoying at first glance: crooked layout, automatically translated text, forms for entering a password right in the subject of the letter. But there are malicious letters that look decent, subtly play on a person’s emotions and do not raise doubts about their veracity.

The article will talk about 4 types of fraudulent letters that Russians most often fall for.

1. Letters from “government organizations”

Fraudsters can pretend to be the tax office, the Pension Fund, Rospotrebnadzor, the sanitary and epidemiological station and other government organizations. For credibility, watermarks, scans of seals and state symbols are inserted into the letter. Most often, the task of criminals is to scare a person and convince him to open a file with a virus attached.

Usually this is an encryptor or a Windows blocker that disables the computer and requires you to send a paid SMS to resume operation. A malicious file can be disguised as a court order or a summons to appear before the head of the organization.

Fear and curiosity turn off the user's consciousness. Accounting forums describe cases where employees of organizations brought files with viruses to their home computers because they could not open them in the office due to the antivirus.

Sometimes scammers ask you to send documents in response to a letter in order to collect information about the company that will be useful for other deception schemes. Last year, one group of scammers was able to deceive many people using the "request to fax papers" distraction trick.

When an accountant or manager read this, he immediately cursed the tax office, “Those are mammoths sitting there, oh my!” and switched his thoughts from the letter itself to solving technical problems with sending.

2. Letters from “banks”

Windows blockers and ransomware can hide in fake letters not only from government organizations, but also from banks. Messages like “A loan has been taken out in your name, please read the lawsuit” can really be scary and make you want to open the file.

A person can also be persuaded to enter a fake personal account, offering to see accrued bonuses or receive a prize that he won in the Sberbank Lottery.

Less often, scammers send invoices for payment of service fees and additional interest on the loan, for 50-200 rubles, which are easier to pay than to understand.

3. Letters from “colleagues”/“partners”

Some people receive dozens of business letters with documents during the working day. With such a load, you can easily fall for the “Re:” tag in the subject of the letter and forget that you have not yet corresponded with this person.

Especially if the poisoner field indicates “Alexander Ivanov”, “Ekaterina Smirnova” or any simple Russian name, which absolutely does not linger in the memory of a person who constantly works with people.

If the goal of scammers is not to collect SMS payments for unlocking Windows, but to cause harm to a specific company, then letters with viruses and phishing links can be sent on behalf of real employees. The list of employees can be collected on social networks or viewed on the company website.

If a person sees a letter in the mailbox from a person from a neighboring department, then he does not take a closer look at it, he may even ignore antivirus warnings and open the file no matter what.

4. Letters from “Google/Yandex/Mail”

Google sometimes sends emails to Gmail account owners indicating that someone has tried to log into your account or that Google Drive has run out of space. Fraudsters successfully copy them and force users to enter passwords on fake sites.

Users of Yandex.Mail, Mail.ru and other mail services also receive fake letters from the “service administration”. The standard legends are: “your address has been added to the blacklist”, “your password has expired”, “all emails from your address will be added to the spam folder”, “look at the list of undelivered emails”. As in the previous three points, the main weapons of criminals are fear and curiosity of users.

How to protect yourself?

Install an antivirus on all your devices so that it automatically blocks malicious files. If for some reason you do not want to use it, then check all even slightly suspicious email attachments on virustotal.com

Never enter passwords manually. Use password managers on all devices. They will never offer you password options to enter on fake sites. If for some reason you do not want to use them, then manually enter the URL of the page on which you are going to enter the password. This applies to all operating systems.

Wherever possible, enable password confirmation via SMS or two-factor identification. And of course, it is worth remembering that you cannot send scans of documents, passport data or transfer money to strangers.

Perhaps many of the readers, when looking at the screenshots of the letters, thought: “Am I a fool to open files from such letters? You can see from a kilometer away that this is a setup. I won't bother with a password manager or two-factor authentication. I'll just be careful."

Yes, most fraudulent emails can be detected by eye. But this does not apply to cases when the attack is aimed specifically at you.

The most dangerous spam is personal

If a jealous wife wants to read her husband’s mail, then Google will offer her dozens of sites that offer the service “Hacking mail and social network profiles without prepayment.”

The scheme of their work is simple: they send a person high-quality phishing letters that are carefully composed, neatly laid out and take into account the person’s personal characteristics. Such scammers sincerely try to hook a specific victim. They find out from the customer her social circle, tastes, and weaknesses. It may take an hour or more to develop an attack on a specific person, but the effort pays off.

If a victim is caught, they send the customer a screenshot of the mailbox and ask them to pay (the average price is about $100) for their services. After receiving the money, they send you the password for the mailbox or an archive with all the letters.

It often happens that when a person receives a letter with a link to the file “Video compromising evidence on Tanya Kotova” (hidden keylogger) from his brother, he is filled with curiosity. If the letter is provided with text containing details that are known to a limited circle of people, then the person immediately denies the possibility that his brother could have been hacked or that someone else is pretending to be him. The victim relaxes and turns off the antivirus to hell to open the file.

Not only jealous wives, but also unscrupulous competitors can turn to such services. In such cases, the price tag is higher and the methods are more subtle.

You should not rely on your attentiveness and common sense. Let an emotionless antivirus and password manager protect you, just in case.

P.S. Why do spammers write such “stupid” letters?

Carefully crafted scam emails are relatively rare. If you go to the spam folder, you can have a lot of fun. What kind of characters do scammers come up with to extort money: the director of the FBI, the heroine of the series “Game of Thrones”, a clairvoyant who was sent to you by higher powers and wants to tell you the secret of your future for $15 dollars, a killer who was ordered to pay you off, but he sincerely offers to pay off .

An abundance of exclamation marks, buttons in the body of the letter, a strange sender address, a nameless greeting, automatic translation, gross errors in the text, a clear overkill of creativity - letters in the spam folder simply “scream” about their dark origin.

Why do scammers who send their messages to millions of recipients not want to spend a couple of hours composing a neat letter and spare 20 bucks for a translator to increase the response of the audience?

In the Microsoft study Why do Nigerian Scammers Say They are from Nigeria? the question “Why do scammers continue to send letters on behalf of billionaires from Nigeria when the general public has known about “Nigerian letters” for 20 years” is deeply analyzed. According to statistics, more than 99.99% of recipients ignore such spam.

But one in 10 thousand is being targeted and this person is an ideal victim who is completely out of touch with reality and does not know how to use search engines. At risk are mentally ill people and people who suffer from severe drug addiction and alcoholism.

A spammer who trades in extortion absolutely does not need relatively normal people to respond to his letters. They will not transfer the money, but will simply distract you with questions. He needs contacts of standard eccentrics who will gladly send Daenerys $500, because the squirrel in their head approves of it.

From these priceless specimens, the most solvent are selected and subjected to careful personal psychological treatment. For example, a 50-year-old woman from the Kamchatka Territory recently transferred 4.5 million rubles to an American military man who found her on Odnoklassniki, fell in love, promised to marry, but after three months

In Microsoft Outlook, you can specify that for all messages you send, an automatic Bcc (Bcc) will be sent to other distribution lists or users.

One scenario in which this rule is useful is when all group members respond to incoming email messages, such as Help Center. When one group member replies to a message, other group members automatically receive a copy of the reply, keeping all outgoing messages up to date.

client rules

Create a rule

Now, every time you send a message, be it a new message, forward a message or reply, people or groups that are specified in the rule will be automatically added as copy recipients. The names of people or groups do not appear in the Cc line of the compose message, but those names will appear to all recipients of the message.

Disable a rule

In the Mail view, on the tab Home click the button rules > Manage Rules and Alerts.

On the tab in the section Rule

Click the button OK.

Rules and Alerts.

Advice: For more information about how to quickly disable this rule for individual messages, see the next section ("").

Use a category to disable automatic CC for individual messages

If you want the flexibility to turn off automatic new copy rules based on a single message without having to navigate through the dialog box rules and alerts, you can use the categories feature in Outlook, along with a rule.

Advice:

First, you need to create a rule to automatically send blind carbon copy (CC) for all email messages you send.

This specific rule is called client rules. Client rules run only on the computer on which it is created and run only if Outlook is running. If you were to send an email using an email account on another computer, the rule would not run from that computer so that it would be generated on that computer. This same rule must be created on each computer that plans to use it.

Create a rule

Now every time you send a message, be it a new message, forward a message or reply, people or distribution lists specified in the rule will be automatically added as copy recipients. The names of people or distribution lists do not appear in the Cc line of the compose message, but those names will appear to everyone who receives the message.

Disable a rule

To prevent a copy from being sent automatically, you must first disable the rule.

In Mail in the menu Service click the button Rules and Alerts.

On the tab Email Rules in section Rule uncheck the box corresponding to the rule you created.

Click the button OK.

You can now send a message without automatically sending a copy to other people or mailing lists. The rule will be inactive until it is re-enabled in the dialog box Rules and Alerts.

Advice:

Use a category to disable automatic CC for individual messages

If you want to disable the new automatic Send CC rule for individual messages without calling the dialog box Rules and Alerts, you can set the rule to a category that is available in Office Outlook 2007.

Modify the rule you created earlier so that when you add the specified category to a message, the rule does not automatically send a copy.
