Today I've noticed that there is a relation between
the recipient adresses that was used in the past 36 hours in the numeric spam
messages and the following wave of stock-spam messages containing this
png-graphic. After checking around 10 Mailboxes there is a correspondence of
100%. Or they have received both or none of this two messages. For example my
personal mailbox "markus" who's well spread and destination of many other spams
hasn't received it. Other mailboxes like "domain" and "internet" that are pretty
unknown and rarely used has received both.

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 any
idea what the purpose of these emails are?
Random numbers
for no apparent reason...?
