Egad! Sorry, I put that exactly backwards. That expression will match all legitimate mails, but not the empty ones. Please use "does not match" instead of "match" to get rid of the empty spam. Sorry also to break threading -- I am on a different machine now, so I don't have the original messages with the References headers.
