John –   Thanks for your reply.

The MTA is sendmail.  Spamassassin is implemented with a spamassassin milter.  
This is actually part of a "BlueOnyx" server appliance package... the current 
implementation of the old Sun Cobalt appliance code that was open sourced when 
Sun was sold.

There are no "EMPTY_BODY" rules firing. I did see today that LOTS_OF_MONEY 
seems to be working, as to the HTML-related rules.  Email that's filled with 
impotence, sex or porn-related related content is not being tagged though.  To 
my knowledge, none of the rules files have been altered.  The web GUI writes to 
local.cf and user_prefs.  Any custom scoring and a custom EMPTY_SUBJECT rule is 
in a custom.cf file.
