Granted, but a lot of the spam our server is blocking has much the same
types of disconnected words. Guess it is some form of probe - if you reply
to it, you're promptly buried - since some script or program somewhere
is "listening". I. e. some people will be stupid enough to hit reply on
that and say something like "huh? wrong number" and -that- signifies to
whomever is spamming that that cellphone (email) is "alive" and being read
by -someone-.

We've often had this with our clients, they get a weird email with these
types of words and then reply on it, often trying to get whomever sent it
to shut up. This instead -really- start upping their incoming spam as their
email address is IDed as a "live" one... guess its the same here?
