SPAM filter from a blank sender

I've been getting crap in my e-mail from some outfit that when it comes to my mailbox, it doesn't show who sent it or a subject line. I've even tried filtering key words in the body of the e-mail and it doesn't work. Does anybody know how they are doing this or how to counter it?

Sounds like a remailer at work Someone has gone to a lot of lengths to spam .. thats rare. Can you configure to filter out mails that dont have you in the distribution list? Or if sender domain doesnt belong to an authoritative host?

Btw for those of you with a NIX check out spamassasin.org .. its awesome! Check out some of the rules!

Running OE, so I don't think there is anything in there like that. I had the majority of the spam filtered out of my system until this came along.
