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.)

i used mortgage, rate, rates, pharmacy, and a couple others... :)

(see candice's list above - i don't want to filter "hot" or "wet" because they have legit nonspam uses. however, i KNOW that "tits" and "cum" are not in the titles of emails I wanna read.)

AoL 9.0 has spam filtering stuff now -- I've yet to get an email that doesn't talk about hot wet teens so I'm just gonna pray no one I know uses hot or wet in their subject header.

I keep adding words as I get new forms of spam. Yesterday, I suddenly got 7 about an online degree program so degree was added. It's pathetic.
