Word list that gets rid of spam by adding words in messages to bl

G

Could you add a list for certain words that one finds in spam messages. If
such was in place we could add all the ways these idiots spell viagra to the
list and anything with the words on your list is automatically junked. I
have had enough drugs, sex enhancer and stupid phoney stocks to choke a
horse. I had over 30 messages of that junk adding the senders name to block
is not quite enough. Alist of forbiden words would be amazing. After all
there must a way to block all the mispelled words to it. Eventually there
will be and end to how many way you can willfully mispell words to get your
garbage through..

You can use Rules Wizard for this, but it's pretty much a waste of time, since spammers can get around word lists very easily. Your best course of action is to use a good anti-spam program that doesn't rely on simple word lists. See http://www.slipstick.com/rules/junkmail.htm#tools

We should integrate a spell-checker into the junk mail filters. Anything
over 5 "typos" should be eliminated as spam.
