Since a sizeable amount of blank subjects are spam and come from forged addresses, please don't bounce such messages. It's called backscatter, and it is a very large problem, typically amounting to 1% to 2% of my total mail volume. This is also common enough that you would also upset many customers.

If you tweak your setup properly, you can tag blank subjects with a little weight and still not have issues with blocking legitimate E-mail while improving spam detection.

Any previous talk on filtering for blank subject lines is 2 years old, so
I'd like to present the question again, and/or make a new feature request.

Within our corp, we have several employees who enjoy send their mails with
no subject what-so-ever.  Wrist slaps have done nothing to correct this
problem.  I'd like very much to bounce mails lacking subjects, informing the
sender that to complete the delivery, they must resend with a completed
subject line.

I've tried using both SUBJECTCHARS and CONTSPACES, but they don't seem to
work as I'd like.

Is there a specific test or filter I can use to detect blank subject lines?

TIA
