I've noticed lately that I have been receiving blank emails. They have no
From:, no Subject and no Content. From looking at the headers in Outlook,
the mail was always spam (from a yahoo account that I don't recognize).
I thought it was a filter (virus scanner and/or SpamAssassin) corrupting the
file during processing. That doesn't seem to be the case.
To verify this, I've modified each of my filters to copy the email file to
there own directory before they do any processing. I then waited for the
blank message to show up again...
A new one came in this morning, both the virus scanner version and spam
assassin version are exactly the same. Here's the contents of the file with

This doesn't appear to be a valid email - there is no blank line after the
Message-ID line, that's where it ends.
Any ideas?
