Had a spate of unwanted emails, apparently empty body, very short message ids.
Built a set of rules: header RM_hm_ShortMsgid06 Message-ID =~ /^.{1,6}$/ describe RM_hm_ShortMsgid06 Message ID is too short to be valid. Possible spam/virus sign score RM_hm_ShortMsgid06 0.800 # header RM_hm_ShortMsgid07 Message-ID =~ /^.{1,7}$/ describe RM_hm_ShortMsgid07 Message ID is too short to be valid. Possible spam/virus sign score RM_hm_ShortMsgid07 0.800 # header RM_hm_ShortMsgid08 Message-ID =~ /^.{1,8}$/ describe RM_hm_ShortMsgid08 Message ID is too short to be valid.
