Hi, i am new to the list therefore greetings and kudos to all first,

been monitoring this kind of strange mails myself, they all land in my catchall inbox. What baffles me about them is just the same fact them being addressed to a mailaccount on one of my subdomains i never used so far (the site is not even up yet), and which is not existant on that domain, starting to hit me right some hours after i had this domain registered. They all come either from a bogus yahoo or otherwise suspicious (spoofed??) account, all to something like jwsch <at> mysubdomain dot com. The same subdomainname is registered by me with the .org, .info, .net and .de extensions, those have not been addressed so far and i wonder? Personally i think it's random spam to check if this domain or mailaccount on this domain are reachable, but i don't have proof for that yet.
I shall keep an eye on those suspicious stuff furtheron.

Thank you for letting me being part on here, regards,
Jigmed Pema

Have been getting a number of these come thru also at work. Of course all the users are asking me questions about these.
They all have the strange words, paragraphs, and questions like this one.
They really got my attention. I at first thought they were hidden messages
but
Not so as the one we receive come as text.
thank you
