This is exactly what the navy did while my wife was in it.
Unfortunately, my wife is a pediatrician, and so has quite a bit of
legitimate email with many of those words in it. Be careful of your
userbase demographics when setting up things like this.
I'm somewhat cautious about this. I know you get very high hit
rates with this, but it doesn't make any allowances for false
positives - if I make a list of "banned words" like this, one of
them is _sure_ to turn up one day.
I don't plan to dump the detected spam to /dev/null, but to a
separate folder (SpamAssassin is already doing this nicely with the
%age it detects) but my suspicion is that users will probably never
check that Junk folder once they find it rarely contains anything
of interest.
