One of my users just received a totally empty message from a friend (sent as a test message, but unwisely with no subject or body).

This hit EMPTY_MESSAGE and MISSING_SUBJECT for a total of 4.1 points. Fair enough - I've seen plenty of empty spam (presumably due to buggy spamware or as trial runs to eliminate dead addresses).

The problem is that the message also hit Pyzor and Razor (and thus DIGEST_MULTIPLE) adding another 6.4 points.

I can understand that an empty message is considered spammy - I've seen plenty of empty spam - but not that SA tries to look up an empty message in Pyzor and Razor.

Any comments?
