Please dont send spam to the list.

The word Viagra isnt a alias for 100% spam. There is perfectly legitimate 
use for Viagra. If you feel all mail with Viagra in the subject is spam, 
define a spamassassin rule to score that. I dont think its wise however.

Spamassassin isnt a guarantuee no spam will go in anyway, and you are 
welcome on the SA mailinglist to discuss SA behaviour there.

Bye,
Raymond.
