I'm thinking failed spam messages. Oddly enough, I also receive a lot of messages that the From and Subject fields are blank. However, the message content is there... Most of these are from Computerworld.com...legitimate email that I signed up for!

It's the same spammer or spamware sending them out -- they always have a Message-ID: header with a bracket, one character, and then "[20-25", or some slight variation. It's unclear what the point of this spam is (if any), or whether it is spamware that is broken (meaning that the spammer wanted to send spam, but it didn't work). -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
