[Resolved] blank recipient address

[hec1230]

I have searched the forums and web for this topic and can't seem to find a answer. I hope someone can shed some light on this.

I just started using Spamcop and now I have started to receive spam with no "recipient address". My address is not in the "to" address box and it is just blank. Should I report these? Why am I getting these spams? Are spammers targeting me now for using spamcop? Should I just delete them instead?

Thanks in advance,

Hec

It would be helpful to post the tracking link for a sample, but lacking that I can point out that e-mail messages don't technically need to have an address in the To-field in order to be delivered (the recipient address is passed elsewhere, out-of-band as it were). You might also look at this page of the SpamCop wiki.

Not to worry, spammers are not "targeting" you. What you're seeing is just ordinary spam without a "To" address. Nothing special about it. Everybody gets it. You should report it all.
