I'm a mathematician, and I started getting these emails when I was still in grad school. I have no idea how they decided who to email -- often, it looks like they randomly pick someone from the department directory.

I heard from a reliable source that Martin Rees used to send a letter back saying he was too busy to assess their work, but knew someone else who would be interested...
then he put them in contact with the last crank who sent him a letter!

Monthly? I get them weekly at least. More famous astrophysicists probably get more.
