OK, the resolution thus far!!! My version, not VM's, they will follow up next week apparently.
I was contacted by VM Security by telephone and we have had a long conversation.
The email is generated by the VM/NTL email system when an oversize message is detected. The lack of a full header in this case is due the the email being internal to the mail system. They were mystified by the inclusion of the
admin@email-argos.co.uk and were investigating this.
However as I was drinking my afternoon cuppa I thought that there was something strange in that an email addy appeared in the opened email, but was not present in the message header as a "Return Path"! Subsequently I have checked my Windows Mail contacts list and there is the addy for
admin@email-argos.co.uk from an email exchange I had with Argos last year!!!
It would appear that a "feature" of Windows Mail has associated the word "admin" in the "From" field in the email header with the only email address in my contacts list containing the word "admin". Deleting the address from my Contacts and sending another oversize test email resulted in the same message being sent with just the word "admin" in the "From" field and no email addy association! Microsoft strikes again!
I have contacted VM to let them know this.
