Was trying to check the inbox, but it was taking a long time to load so I ran a command via SSH (telnet) to see what was going on and I received the following error...
Bad RFC822 field name '' at messenger.cgi line 165.
Any help would be appreciated.

What I did was went to data.cgi and viewed it and then waited a few minutes and then went back and it was still stuck on the same e-mail for over 30 minutes. So I logged in as admin and went to the user inbox it was stuck on deleted the spam mail that it was stuck on. There were over 30 files of this letter in the temp folder, which was also listed in the data.cgi file.
The e-mail looked like this:

There should be a way to prevent malformed e-mails from reaching inboxes.
This is actually either a server error or a mailer daemon error. This should have never been put into the catch-all in the first place.
