I have never seen those before but it seems like an encoding issue.

I also noticed an issue with some Russian spam mails which are shown as question marks as subject, that is fixed by changing the database from latin1 to utf8.

You can try if this also works for your problem (don't think it will but still it is worth a try)

Login with ssh

Code: Select all

mysql -u root -p`cat /etc/mysql/EFA.cnf`
ALTER DATABASE baruwa charset=utf8;
then re-send the mail, to see if it works correctly now.
Version eFa 4.x now available!
