This may have already been addressed, but we have been receiving a number of strange e-mails - no attachments - with 
the following in the message:

To: <redacted>
Subject: Hello

Hi Sir/Madam,

               Have a nice Day.

Is anyone else experiencing this and if so - any thoughts as to what's behind the e-mails?

Thanks,
Chris
