help!

So, what are some words that you'd put in a fairly aggressive spam filter, one that's going to send all spam to a folder, where I can scan over it to make sure it isn't Real Mail before I delete it?

so far i have penis/enlargement/horny/webcam/viagra.

any other common spam subject line words? i'm thinking of "inkjet" and "credit" maybe as well. how about "diploma"?

(re my current mood: being driven crazy in loco parentis, also irritated cos I can't get streaming internet radio to work. will probably go watch Cold Case and knit.)

hahaha... too mcuh effort. i'm just playing around with the "mail rules tools" on my one mailbox that i use for anything that might end up getting spam. i'm just getting a lot and, since i was already filtering stuff like mail from specific friends and mail from A Word A Day into their own folders, I might as well try and see what I could do with spam subject lines. It won't catch all of it, but it'll be a lot less that I have to sort through.
