Read the archives for more details, however the general consensus is
it's due to:

1) a mass run of short-emails to a broader-range of randomly generated
addresses in an attempt to
disover new ones. (aka Rumpelstiltskin attack)

- OR -

2) some spammer screwed up their template when they last pushed one out
to their botnet, and as a result the bots are generating emails with no
useful payload.

Both are quite plausible.
