hi peeps

i have noticed over the last month or so the number of e-mails i/we receive at home with no sender info is increasing.

whilst there is no virus attached to the e-mail (smoothwall firewall scans all e-mails b4 it hits our outlook accounts) i am sure there is some ulterior motive.

i have looked at options\internet headers in outlook and can see where the e-mail supposedly has come from and those i have bothered to check are always either hotmail, yahoo, gmail accounts ie anonymous.

i have brainwashed members of our household to delete any e-mail that has no sender info and treat it as junk mail, but looking at the logs on the firewall i cansee we are getting more than 10 a day now.

has anybody else noticed an increase in this type of e-mail and if so do you open these e-mails ?
 
i get these too i think its a spammer checking to see if your email add is effective so you cant bounce back or block them
