I am gonna do this, actually, because i can see a few more words that are in pretty much
all of the ones that actually get through my barriers. Judging by the google translation,
it seems to consistently be a (very narrowly) "coherent" smear on the same
people for the same things every time, and you have included some of the proper nouns,
too, so this seems to be the way to go. I think it will get everything.
Thanks,

I've been dealing with this for well over 10 years reading various news
groups. You need to match on descriptive nouns: criminal, terrorist,
etc. Over time the names of the people and the descriptions of them
will change.
If you look carefully at the Italian, you'll see the same descriptors
come in multiple forms which change in use due to declension (parts of
speech). You need to match word stems rather than words: e.g., crimi
or crimin so you catch all the different forms of criminal . Because
the descriptors are nouns, you have to match them case insensitive,
because they may or may not be capitalized depending on use. The recent
spam has been all caps, but that hasn't always been so.
Filtering can be done fairly easily with regex (with my NN reader has)
once you figure out what to look for, but most email filter systems
offer only a simple "contains" filter where you have to supply every
possible capitalization (at least 3: none, all, and first).
Good Luck!
