Actually, it was a copy and paste error. I copied this from another email list
because it
sounded like a good idea in general and didn't think about all the filter words for
long.

Per my other message, I'm thinking that I'll remove `management' and `product' from the
filter list, but I'm thinking that as long as the filter bounces messages back to the
sender with the list of filtered words, it should be okay. Most spam artists
shouldn't be
able to adapt since they aren't using real email addresses anyhow.
