Well, I don't actively filter mailing list message via SpamAssassin.  I 
shuttle those straight through.  However, I do attempt to intercept some of 
the more obvious spam at the Mail Server level and that is where using 
obvious triggers in the Subject lines causes the messages to get dumped.

I do that because it saves my bandwidth by me not having to download the 
entire body of an obvious spam message.

In short, if the subject includes a word that describes an act that a spammer 
might suggest would be done/or could be viewed being done by a schoolgirl, 
hot chick, hot guy, teenie, or mature woman, I don't want to waste my 
bandwidth even receiving the message.
