Interestingly, I have received such empty-body messages more than once in
the past, and my Outlook 2000 has never had a problem downloading them via
POP3.

I highly doubt any widely used MUA has a problem with such a "To:" header.
If you are willing to install Courier::Filter (Perl 5.8 required), you can
try using this filter module for a while to see whether it catches all the
broken messages that you and your users have a problem with:
----8<----snip----8<----
package Courier::Filter::Module::EmptyBody;
use warnings;
use strict;
use base qw(Courier::Filter::Module);
sub match {
my ($module, $message) = @_;
return 'EmptyBody: ' . ($module->{response} || 'Message body is
empty')
if $message->body =~ /^\s*$/;
return undef;
# otherwise.
}
1;
---->8----snap---->8----
Install it as .../Courier/Filter/Module/EmptyBody.pm and set it up in the
pureperlfilter.conf configuration file as described in the
Courier::Filter::Overview man page.
