If you are going to try this, you will definately want to check word boundaries like this: header BAD_WORDS Subject =~ /\bbadword\b/i The "\b" on either side will ensure that you don't match the string as part of another word.

These types of words are used more often in casual emails than in spam. "Enhancement" spams may have some of these words, but they tend to obfuscate them so that a simple check like this doesn't work. Give it a try, but score it low and watch it carefully at first. -- Bowie
