What I have noticed concerning some recent spam emails :

1. they appear to come from various IPs: 60.176.201.15 85.219.236.12 71.113.208.126 (probably either spoofed or open relays)
2. they connect directly to orange.active-ns.com (i.e there isn't the usual list of several mailservers that its been thru)
3. they don't have genuine email headers i.e. no 'to', 'from', 'subject' or indeed any 'body'

Could the cat2 mailservers be configured to detect the 'blank' headers and bin the emails please?
