Esteemed Colleagues:
I have a recurring problem with ASSP: it discards important incoming
mail that contains the word "cheap". For example, if a client needs
me to fly somewhere in an emergency, and I reply, "where can I get a
cheap airplane ticket?" or words to that effect, and the client
replies to my mail, including my mail in his reply, the reply is apt
to be discarded because it contains the word "cheap", thus:

Now, bombRe is a good idea, I suppose, but I should be able to control
it. How do I do that? The word "cheap" does not appear anywhere in
assp.cfg. In files/bombre.txt it appears only as "subject\: cheapest"
and that would not cause mail to be discarded that contains "cheap"
somewhere in its body. CHEAP (all capitals) also appears in
files/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt but that too, if I am not mistaken, would
not cause mail to be discarded that contains "cheap" somewhere in its
body. It also appears several places in files/optRE/blackListedDomains.txt
-- e.g., "(?:quick)?usa|platform|cheap|now|2u)\.biz" -- but that too,
if I am not mistaken, would not cause mail to be discarded that
contains "cheap" somewhere in its body.
It is possible, I suppose, that there is some utterly cryptic regular
expression in some file that matches "cheap" without actually
containing the string "cheap", but that would be utterly perverse and
I refuse to believe that the universe is that malicious. And yet, my
e-mails are unquestionably being discarded. How do I forever prevent
that from happening?
Thank you in advance for any and all replies. One more thing -- if
you do reply, please replace the word "cheap" with the word
"tangerine", otherwise your reply to me is apt to be discarded. Thank
you again.
