Hey, can we add this as a feature to the mailing list ;) I would really
like to write some sendmail rules to emulate this globally >:)
Subject: Microsoft Outlook (Express) bug..
Hello.
Recently we've been receiving calls from customers not being able to check
their e-mail because Outlook/Outlook Express says to check their "Memory
and Diskspace" (or something along those lines..). I began looking at
their /var/mail/ mailbox, and I noticed a similarity with all of
them. They had receieved some spam which had left the "BCC:" and
"Reply-to:" headers blank. So I attempted to reproduce the error, and it
worked. Outlook Express wouldn't retreive any e-mail, if there was an
e-mail that had those two feilds blank! I couldn't believe it. I
attempted to contact Microsoft early last week, but received no reply. I
haven't had much of a chance to test versions or anything as of yet, so
feel free. It would certainly be unfortunate if someone were to write a
program that would generate an e-mail like this, and do some mass
mailing.. ;-)
