That's all well and good. I've got a rule to block any posts that refer to
Nike in the subject. (Who on earth would by sneakers from a spammer,
anyway?) But you can't always know what key words these sneaky bastards
will put in their subject lines. And the majority of this SPAM comes from
people with @gmail.com as their email address. It gets old trying to block
every possible combination of keywords these losers might dream up.
