Looks like a spammer trying running a dictionary attack agains rocketmail.

Your best bet is to write a small filter, or DATA-ACL condition, and
filter them out, you can also try to bounce them, but this will generate
double bounces on their end, so their server will MAYBE retry the
message over and over again, until it timeouts.

Check for an empty sender, your own address as recipient, and some other
characteristics (maybe ''' and rocketmail.com in $message_body).

Or you try to reach their support and ask for help.
