If you are going to check for missing headers to catch empty messages,
go for the two that all RFC compliant messages MUST have: Date: and
From:

I have this in my configuration:


# Check to see that the RFC 2822 required headers are present.

  deny    message     = message is missing headers required by RFC 2822
          condition   = ${if or{{!def:h_Date:}{!def:h_From:}}}
