One in a while I get emails like the following:
sender: dabing2001@0451.com
subject: none
Message: Good day, commander
There's no html or any images or anything else in those mails, just "Good day, commander" and that's it. What purpose does such an email fulfill? Is it only to check whether the adress is real or not?
I'm confused.

my guess is that it's spam. they're expecting you to wonder what it's about and reply.

I didn't think of the option that anyone would actually reply.

Maybe it's checking the validity of your address. Or just one of your minions* wanting to get on the right side of you.
(* what do you mean, you don't have minions? What kind of man are you?)

For every 100 e-mails, my "spam/real e-mail" ratio is approximately 97/3.

BTW, WD, this just supports the theory that you are actually a bot:
