In Outlook Express I get an email every so often that is blank, doesn't have a title, doesn't show who the sender was, doesn't have any attachments, doesn't have a message... just blank
 
I seem to be getting this once every 2 months at a guess
 
Is there any way of finding out who sent it? and is there a likely reason for me receiving these?
 
This is the message source of the most recent one I've had... (if this helps)...(which it probably doesn't)....
 
Return-Path: <[email protected]>

Am I right in assuming the email was sent from [email protected]? (an email address I don't know of personally) and what purpose would such an email serve? (perhaps an attachment with a virus was removed by my Zone Alarm?)

Thanks for this info Ma®k
 
This really is an area I know nothing about other than just typing an email and clicking
"Send".. that's pretty much the limitation of my knowledge in this subject lol
 
I'm wondering how could someone send an email to the recipient without filling in the
TO: field or BCC: field and yet still establish where it's actually going
 
I'm assuming there's another way of establishing this?
 
Could I, as the sender (for example) establish where an email is going without filling in
the TO: field, and how is this done?, writing the RCPT TO: commands in code?
 
If so, Is there a way of doing this in Outlook Express? or do you need special software for this?
 
It's not something I would actually do, but I'm curious how it was done to try to
establish why it would have been done (my assumption at the moment is that there is either
a worm passing itself around, and the attachment was stripped away by my firewall, or
someone is trying to send out a trojan or virus... would this seem a
likely reason to send out such a strange email?)
 
Is this a common occurrance? and is there a probable reason for it?

These emails are becoming more and more frequent... I think I had 3 of them today (different email addy in the message source every time), just emails with nothing in them in the surface
