I usually get these in batches of 4 emails, all kinda similar, but the from address is usually just a bit different, such as:

[e-mail]
[e-mail]

see how the first part changes, the body's of the emails are always gobbeldy gook.
It's happened twice now in the past month, no attachments.

and Norton's doesn't recognize any of them as viruses or trojans.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Looks like someone is exploiting formmail.

I get these and have assumed they're produced by people paid to spam, presumably on piece rates. If you have some software counting the number of spam mails you send, you can get through a lot more addresses if you just hit a few random keys rather than actually type the message.

That having been said, I received one of these a few weeks ago that included, along with the meaningless jumble of letters, the phrase "terpsicorian crcodiles", which I rather liked. In all the years I've being receieving emails, this is the only piece of spam that has made me smile.

Unless maybe someone using e-mail encryption [google.com] like PGP, perhaps.

on a weird character set which you don't have installed do you get little boxes as well.
