I hope this isn't really obvious, but I haven't found the answer yet. How
can we bounce messages with no content? 

Here's my situation: I'm using demime, which is great, but now those
annoying Klez messages that spoof legitimate subscribers' addresses are
getting delivered to my lists. The payload is stripped out, but the
message, with the list's message footer as its only content, still gets
delivered.

I know, I could filter for each variant of the subject line, but it just
seems like there ought to be an eleganter solution, and I figured blank
messages are not usually desirable in any case, since they are often the
result of someone's finger slipping & hitting the send command too soon.

I wondered if maybe just putting a body taboo entry of 

//

would work? But I suspect that's *too* easy and either won't work or will
have some horrendous side-effect. 

This must be something folks have solved before, but I haven't found
anything in the FAQ...

TIA,
