Yes. The bad news is that this stuff is highly variable and so more of
it gets through than we would like. The good news is that we are
developing filters to deal with it by capturing small fragments and
phrases so that they cannot be reused. For example, I created 7 new
rules based on the note use sent - each containing 2-5 word phrases
and fragments.

The hard part is to avoid blocking legitimate messages - so we can't
generally code on single words. For example hardcore and it's
variations has a high porn spam score, but it is also widely used in
current language. The word suck by itself is not a workable solo and
neither is that random combination of hardcore an suck (though you
might be tempted)... A quick look at any extreme sports article
readily yields many of these words.

You could opt to create some black rules that contain simple
combinations or even single words like these if you have a
sufficiently narrow demographic on your system.

In the mean time we will continue to aggressively create rules for the
safe combinations we can spot and/or predict. Of course, we always
capture URI in these cases when available.

Hope this helps,
