Spam without Payload
Lately I've been receiving spam that seems to have no payload. 

No links to knock-off phallicpharmaceuticals.
No promise of promiscuous foreign brides
Nada!

They just have a dozen lines like:
oziuyebjrukdebrrpzewciungdjfapa
So yes, they are successful in getting through my heuristic filters, but to what end?  What is in it for the spammer?
