It appears as if the blacklist_keywords can capture a lot of Spam. So far we have nothing in that file. We are worried about the refusal of emails which may be genuine. So while we might want to blacklist Viagra, we would not want to blacklist an email from a medical person, for example, which might refer to Viagra (I'm not even sure that this email will make it to the list having mentioned that word!).
Do people have tried and tested contents of that file which they can advise on to prevent false positives - because we only show about 50-60% spam being caught. I think that is partly because we also have ASL installed which blocks lots before it even gets to the mail queue. If we can use the blacklist_keywords effectively, we would love to and look forward to any suggestions from seasoned users.
