Outlook 2003 sends blank reply messages
This has started the past week, what’s happening is that when I receive
emails immediately an empty reply email is generated and sent to some of the emails received. It seems to be random, the blank copy also goes in my sent items altho I haven't sent anything! I have run a full system scan for viruses, nothing has come up. I have been on many groups trying to find an answer, none have quite the symptoms of this so thought I would ask here. Any ideas anyone? |

Outlook 2003 sends blank reply messages
No, I thought it was something like that too like a confirmation of receipt
but the email they receive, if the copy in my sent box is any indication, is like I hit reply because the subject changes to "whatever the subject was of received email" and the body is blank. I don't have any rules configured and it sends this blank reply randomly. It started out only a few but now it is getting worse. The receipients confirm they receive a blank email as well. I have several email accounts configured in my Outlook and it doesn't seem to be from just one specific. It is random. Driving me crazy! Nothing from MS about this. Any ideas? regards Wendie "Evan Platt" wrote: On Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:46:05 -0700, bg wrote: This has started the past week, what’s happening is that when I receive emails immediately an empty reply email is generated and sent to some of the emails received.

Do you have a rule configured (although I'm not sure there's a rule that would do this...) What does the e-mail look like to the people that get it? Does it say Return Receipt? -- To reply via e-mail, remove The Obvious and .invalid from my e-mail address. . |

Does it happen if you start Outlook in safe mode (hold Ctrl when you start it)? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Outlook 2003 sends blank reply messages
I haven't tried that yet but I will and let you know. Something else I have
discovered, it always sends it from my Hotmail account. Doesn't matter which account I receive the email thru, it sends an auto reply from Hotmail. I've read about others having this problem but no one seems to know why. thanks Wendie "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: "bg" wrote in message ...
