Spam email labelled 'unknown'

I, like everyone else, get a lot of spam each day. I use spambully which is incorporated into outlook express, and generally it's very good. Anyway, I've been getting several emails each day for the last week with no subject heading, no message, not even my name or email address, and in the 'From' box it says 'unknown' with no address to send anything to. Very odd. Even clicking the spam button which normally educates spam bully to remember to put selected spam straight into the spam folder doesn't work for this one, they just keep coming through. Anyone else get an 'unknown' email?
Personally I blame ax.

Yes, been getting them for some time. I don't open, just delete.

Just create a message rule that says when a message comes from unknow, move it to the spam box, or even delete it.

That's a good idea! Just done that.
Now I know what the message rule is for. Thanks.
Let's see what happens to these emails now.
