Yes!
There's at least one user on this list, somewhere behind an MS Antigen
for SMTP, apparently run by psp.com (thank you, Sony), which has been
bugging me a couple times already when answering questions. The OP dared
to munge private email addresses:
Filter name: "KEYWORD= spam: xxx "
I would not have expected anyone on *this* list to run such a stupid
single-word content "filter". But hey, the subscriber is unlikely to get
a lot of traffic from this list anyway passed beyond that wall...
I'm curious to see the reason for /dev/null'ing this mail and instead
send out a useless and annoying note. Which one will win the race, whore
or triple x? :)

Blocking is one thing, but scoring is another. Aren't single words
defined in many rules for spamassassin? I know "fsck"
and "v%%gra" are which are not part of a meta rule. I do agree, however,
anything M$ does is stupid.
