Does anyone else receive blank emails through with their UM subscription emails?

Whenever I get an email from UM telling me someone has replied to a topic I'm following, I also receive an entirely blank email along with it.

The 'To' and 'From' boxes are also blank which I don't understand, I've been receiving them for a while but I've only just realised they always arrive at the same time as the UM emails.

Is this a site glitch and everyone gets this or is it just my computer playing up?

Thankyou in advance

Are the blank emails actually being sent from UM ? Right click on one in Outlook Express and click 'properties'. That should tell you who is sending them.

This is what I want to find out, I don't know I just thought I'd ask as they always arrive at the same time as the UM ones.

I looked at the properties and it's blank, it just has [No subject] written at the top where it would normally have the sender's name.

The 'Details' tab within properties however says this:

================================
X-Apparently-To: [Edit:my email removed] via 217.12.10.41; Mon, 24 May 2004 09:50:41 +0000
Return-Path: <deferral454@hotmail.com>
Received: from 69.23.132.143 (HELO 217.12.11.64) (69.23.132.143)

================================

They may not be from UM at all I just thought it was worth asking, it's not a huge problem they don't seem to be doing any harm I'm just curious as to their origin

Ok that IP address is definately not our server, so they're not coming from UM.

Do you have mail blocking available at all ? You could try blocking mail from that IP and that should stop you from receiving them.
