YEP*.*  NOT possible.  Not only are various items that are in spam possibly
in legitimate mail, and have millions of combinations, but some spammers
have horrible spelling.  I have heard several people say that this is intentional
to bypass content checkers.  

I and several others in this group have realized filtering of "wanted" mail
due to strict rules on SPAM.

You can't even rely on domain names, because many companies buy up "clean"
domain names(When I cleaned up some DMOZ data, I found that one company
bought THOUSANDS of those domain names. (Historically, and  apparantly a
VB site, turns out to be a PORN site.  Some people have NO conscience) ),
and some sullied domain names may be bought up by clean companies.  The
same has happened with IP addresses.(and new name resolution requirements
have just about obliterated IP based checking anyway, some IPs are used
by thousands of companies).

HECK, I got one message that required me to go to the site and look around
before determining it was spam.
