The latest stable version of Movable Type Open Source is MTOS-5.2.10. You should upgrade your installations.
There are versions of
MS Outlook
out there which don't send messages compliant with
SMTP
(RFC 5322 - Section-3.6),
in as much as the mandatory “Date:” header is missing.
Quite naturally this makes them useless as a method for testing your SMTP mail system. See
this discussion for more information.
WORKAROUND: If you encounter this when testing SMTP delivery, compose your own test message and send that one to yourself.
As PayPal give your name and e-mail address away to its merchants (i.e: they effectively make it public) - we recommend our clients to use a throw-away or time-limited address for paypal accounts. The spam will be sent to your address using your full name so:
To: "Anthony Other" <another@example.com>
Currently the spam is promoting a fake goods site with the connivance of an ISP based in Hong Kong.
