Comment Re:"null" (string) vs. null value? (Score 1) 318
Well the article is about me although I don't know exactly whats going on I have an idea. One of the companys involved, Vocel, responded to one of my emails suggesting maybe they were sending out messages with a blank as in "To:" field and they responded that yes they found a bug that caused just that. Their response between making contact and them fixing it was mere hours. Anyways I think that messages with a blank To: field either get converted to "To: (null)" or it just bitbuckets them somewhere in the code to "null". Here is an example messages that makes me think its the former:
Fr: (null)
(null)
CB#:
Notice that (null) is actually a string that Verizon must be filling in when a field is blank. Perhaps somewhere along the line they replces blank fields with "(null)" and later on when its actually being processed for the recipient the disallowed '(' ')' are removed and thus it ends up going to null@vtext.com.
