any of you that have received a lot of empty mails, in subject only "Re: *" where * is a what seems to be random name? the emails are spread from whatever they come from [it seems like that]

its pissing me off :evil:
however, there is 2 options. either someone is trying to bug me off, or there is a worm/virus around that ehrm does stuff.

of course my provider's mail server might have gone crazy :)

however, what are your experiences the last few days??

yeah i've had s$*t loads, it really persists me off too! i always thought they were chinese or japanese formated mails and that thunderbird wasn't configured for such thats why the headers were so 'corrupt'.

I HATE SPAM!!!! :evil:

problem is these are just empty mails! its SHIT!!! i got 45 empty mails today!

however i found a solution, im using Thunderbird and i created a filter like "If body does not contain *" then it will be trashed.
