I agree that mail without a subject header is annoying, but - IMHO - it would be unwise to reject based simply on that. RFC 5322 notes that the header field is optional. Rather than rejecting, you can increase the spam score for such messages, or do something analogous within our mail infrastructure. But it's your server, and to the extent you control policy, do as you please. -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@freebsd.org>
