Maybe - but you could also write/find custom rules for SpamAssassin to 
handle this for you. Maybe ownload one of the popular custom rules and 
customize it to filter your words...there are guide on the spamassassins 
rule emporium for making your own custom rules.

I believe this is all logged to the maillog - there are some 3rd party 
tools, like mailscanner-mrtg and mailwatch to neatly display such 
statistics.
