Junk email question
I just got a junk email, well I get many every day, but this one takes the cake.

No Sender, no heading, no content.

How the heck do you get an email with no Sender? Everything is just blank.

How does this crap get through?

Your mail client isn’t displaying all of the headers.

The information usually displayed by your email client (From:, To:, Subject:, Date") are considered comments and not actually part of the delivery instructions. Those are to be found in the extended headers, which you can display in different ways, depending on the client. They can put whatever they want (or nothing, as in your example) in the displayed fields and it has nothing to do with where the email came from or to whom it is really addressed.



When in doubt, mumble
