Empty emails
Posted: 22 Jun 2013, 20:42
This isn't something new, as I keep informing the admin each time I get an empty email instead of the email I should have received.
Emails like that, do not have a body, only headers.
What makes them unique is the content of those headers:
"From" is always the following:
There is no "To" header. So the only way to check the address that was supposed to get it, is to inspect "X-TrashMail-Key" or "X-TrashMail-Modify_Link".
What makes it different this time, is that the email that I've lost, was a new post notification of a forum that is hosted on my server.
By comparing it's timestamp and the forum posts that was made at that time, I've managed to figure out for what post the notification was.
Unfortunately I can't always guess the content of the empty emails I am receiving.
