Empty messages hit by Razor check

Hello,

I've got this problem, empty messages (with attachments of course, and
existing subject) are hit pretty hard by SA rules, namely:
RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100=0.5,
RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E4_51_100=1.5,
RAZOR2_CHECK=0.5,
TVD_SPACE_RATIO=2.219
With treshold set at 4.5 points, most of these messages obviously end up in
spam.

How do I go about fixing the situation? I don't really want to adjust
treshold, or Razor2 rule scores, since they catch spam pretty good too. Is
there any way to tell SA not to check messages with empty bodies in Razor?
other solutions?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Kestutis

My comment would be that I suspect razor isn't matching the empty text
section. It could be matching one of the attachments. (yes, razor checks
ALL mime sections independently).

Also, be aware that technically speaking a message with an empty text
section doesn't have an empty body. Attachments are part of the body of
the message too :)
