The evaluation of a maxcut amplitude by the direct integration of the loop
momenta gives in general a vanishing result, as the $ \delta $ functions
impose overconstrained restrictions to the integration region.
It is proposed to relax the constraints, so that a non vanishing result
for the maxcuts can be obtained, by giving Minkoskian (rather than Euclidean)
metric to the components not spanned by the physical momenta, including the
regularising components of the continuous regularisation scheme.
As an example, the one and two loop Bhabha box amplitudes are considered.
