They do, but you have to both specify that email
for your domains only comes from your mail servers AND use a test in your spam
filtering that checks SPF and pushes fails over your hold limit.

I thought that having an SPF record would prevent a
spammer from forging your domain name, but our SPF record did not seem to help
with these odd numeric E-mails which appear to be coming from our
own domain.
Does anyone have any info about SPF records and if they
really work to combat this type of junkmail?

Both of which are reasonable, particularly given the
recent Blue Security debacle that showed that it was possible for the
spammers as well as the spammees to coordinate their information. It
might be in a spammer's best interest to pursue either of your
suggestions.
However, I still think it is more credible to assume
that this is a case of the spammer being simple-stupid instead of
uber-clever.

My thought is
they are either building a db of valid names or testing delivery
techniques.

What are these
things? I thought exploratory, maybe looking for replies to build a DB for
a later spam wave? Their not malicious in content and look
like someone's virus working incorrectly. But, I doubt they are
really so benign.
Any understand
their purpose?

So no one has
