I know what you mean I have seen the [blip] stuff on lots of emails. 
Some people seem to have it sometimes, I am not sure why.  Why does this
happen and is it some thing I should be worried about?  A quick google

box has nothing in the way of spam filtering either by postfix or
procmail.  Anybody out there got an answer?

Peace Jim
