Hi all, Have been seeing an increase in empty spam: ie no subject/body and apparently no sender(but the header says otherwise). This is in Outlook 2003. Could the header be purposely malformed or something because otherwise I can't quite see the point. Unless there is something in the body that is unseen by the recipient. Anyone else can shed some light on this? Sample Header: =============== Return-Path: <ivbpmzdq () yahoo com> Received: from nschwingx01p.mx.bigpond.com ([58.248.73.185]) by nschwmtas01p.mx.bigpond.com with ESMTP id <20080915225821.IUTH2284.nschwmtas01p.mx.bigpond.com () nschwingx01p mx.bigpond .com>; Mon, 15 Sep 2008 22:58:21 +0000 Received: from [61.9.189.122] (really [58.248.73.185]) by nschwingx01p.mx.bigpond.com with SMTP id <20080915225815.MTSK10919.nschwingx01p.mx.bigpond.com@[61.9.189.122]>; Mon, 15 Sep 2008 22:58:15 +0000 Received: from 21.140.224.172 by ; Tue, 16 Sep 2008 21:57:52 -0100 Message-ID: <20080915225821.IUTH2284.nschwmtas01p.mx.bigpond.com () nschwingx01p mx.bigpond .com> Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 22:58:21 +0000 =====================
