I'm not sure I'm following you. I agree on the difficulty of creating mail actions for every possible variation of spelling for viagra and other key words, but that is what is so neat about the spam blocker at my ISP- it replaces the mail actions. I'm now getting from 5 to 10 spams per day that have managed to get past the spam blocker, and these are easily handled manually. I've disabled all my mail actions.
