I just got about 5 fake emails with @yahoo.com email addresses. ie: yyadcxf@yahoo.com & other random ones.
There is no TO: address, so I don't know what address they're sending to, because I have about 5 setup in Outlook.
There's no subject, no body to the message. My antivirus software says it's virus free. I'm guessing it's some sort of test for a spammer? How can they send it to me & it not have a TO: address??

Thanks,
Adam

Your email was probably entered as a BCC recipient. BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. None of the recipients of an email can see the BCC recipients.

I think it is a spam mail, there are many bot programs which can get the email addresses from a list and send many emails from different junk addresses.

But why no content to the email? Someone that bored? (probably...)
