Or, as Kelson was once quoted (and now immortalized on my website since I
laughed so hard)
Can I bounce be looking at keywords in the body without using spamassassin?
Can you? Yes.
Should you? Probably not.
Blocking mail by keyword is considerably more likely to cause false positives
than score-based filters. Some examples:
State of Virginia.
Breast cancer study.
The city of Intercourse, Pennsylvania.
News about assassinations.
Jokes or news about certain highly-advertised drugs.
Free software.
A sextet. (Or sextuplets, or cities like Middlesex, Essex, Wessex, etc.)
John Hancock
You can probably think of more examples.
Plus, of course, $P@/\/\/\/\ERZ can just D|5GUl$3 orr miiispel there wurdz 2
@V0|D the keyword filter. By the time you put together a sufficiently long
list of variations you may as well be using something more elaborate.
