Oh, we have a self-hosted exchange behind a watchguard and protected by Trend Micro. I haven't seen very many of these emails you mentioned and it could be because of them. Though I can say we do get spam and malicious emails relentlessly from Gmail aliases.
Edit: as for intent, initial emails are usually always to confirm the address is a valid or active email. So make sure no one responds.
