Weird Emails

I use mailwasher to filter out spam from my email.

Occasionally when I check my mail using mailwasher there are emails with no subject and also no sent from address and when I look at them they have no viewable text. If I download them using Outlook nothing at all appears in my inbox.

This is what I get if I click on view the source in Mailwasher:


Return-Path: <konstanza@seboistnet.com>
Received: from aamta04-winn.ispmail.ntl.com ([81.103.221.35])

Does anyone know what these emails are and should I worry about them??

At present I just delete them using Mailwasher, should I continue to do this?

Help please.

Re: Weird Emails

I have been getting the same thing on and off for several months. As I no longer use my ntl email account as my primary account (because fo the amount of spam I was getting), I know they are spam so just delete them. I would expect you are getting the same....

Re: Weird Emails

I was getting one or two of these per day for a fair while but they stopped a couple of months ago.
