Since the majority of mail is caught through non pattern based filtering you'll have a difficult time with this. Very few filters weigh out of the box on keywords. It's just not effective past pharm, enlargement, mortgage and cheap software.
The easiest way to avoid spam is to have a proper server sending the mail. This means valid headers, reverse DNS, resolving HELO back to the server IP and not using a smarthost/gateway setup. On pattern matching. Avoid Base64! ;) Avoid a space count past 5 in the subject, no html comments, no % symbols within the html itself. Effective spam setups are also weighing the time sent now. Friday-Sunday and mail not sent between 8:00AM and 6:00PM. Our servers receive well over 100,000 emails a day with a 98% catch rate and less than 1/10th of 1% false positive rate. We do all of this without keyword rating and very few pattern matches.

A support organisation had an interesting time recently when they mentioned "breast cancer month". Does anyone know of any code that's available to do this? Maybe a custom tag or CFC or something?
