SpamAssassin does a reasonably good job, and is configurable. It will score 
offensive words, because they tend to be spammy. However, it uses fairly 
complex rules to work around the Scunthorpe problem and similar problems. 
You can also write your own rules, so I'd recommend to George that 
SpamAssassin might be a better solution than making your own rules.
