| weird e-mailHere is an interesting piece of mail I just received in one of my DSLi.com mail accounts. I have a pretty good idea how to read mail headers, but for the life of me I don't understand how a message like this can be properly delivered. This is the entire mail header, so you'll notice there appears to be no designated recipient. Anyone else receive anything like this recently?

| You won't see the original recipient... but you should at least see "yourself" in the header. Correct? |

Ack. I just send myself a BCC and it looks about the same as above. I think the fact that the message didn't have any configured sender information made it look even weirder. I need coffee.

If it was sent ONLY Bcc:, you won't see any recipient. Also, there is no requirement for a From: header either. |
