During the past week I have started recieving blank e-mails,by blank I mean no information in To/From/Subject or in the body of the text therefore I can`t set up any filters to automatically dump these incoming e-mails. Anybody got any suggestions as to whether they are virus related or how to stop them ? I am running Norton which is up to date and a full scan shows nothing. I am getting up to 10 a day & it is showing no signs of letting up, the whole file is only 1kb so it seems to be empty ?
Any help appreciated.
Gran.

I`ve started getting loads aswell. I use MailWasher so I`m not actually downloading them but it seems to be a new spamming technique because you can`t blacklist or bounce it :-(
Also recently there are mails with the title "unable to deliver" etc. These are viruses and should be deleted..

Oh right. I`ve been getting them with no `from` address.
