The new version will support the SpamAssassin perl module, which you can
use to identify a very wide range of spam. This is much better than just
keyword spotting in the subject line. To read more about SpamAssassin, go
to http://spamassassin.taint.org/

There are a zillion reasons for not just trying to spot things in the
subject line, which I won't go into here, but basically almost anything
word/phrase you can think of may legitimately appear in an innocent subject
line.
