Strange Error on my Email

Asked By freddy palmer 0 points N/A Posted on - 11/01/2011

Recently, I received messages in which the “CC, BCC, and To” areas are left blank. There was nothing on it except a small icon that somewhat appears as if it’s a link to a website or something like that. I checked the properties and it shows my name and lists the e-mail address I’m using. I find this strange, is there anyone out there who could explain the reason behind this?

Strange Error on my Email

Hi Freddy

The recipient email address CC is more like a courtesy from the person sending it. He has an option of declaring his email address or not. The more reliable way to look for his email address is in the email header. You can open this by right clicking and selecting view full header. This also will show other information about the sender such as the mail server he uses.

The fact that the sender wants to conceal his identity should make you suspicious. This is probably an Ad send in by someone. Put it in the trash. You should be cautious about any product or service this mail advertises. Your email must have better spam protection.
