Spam filters, I imagine, use some sort of algorithm to detect what it should consider spam or not. Subject lines and email content that include references to Viagara, Penis Enlargement, Cialis, Erections, and any number of symbols used to spell out those and other 'buzz' words. The Brown spam filter works much this way. However, that leads me to wonder what people in the Medical school do, and what about people who study anatomy or biology or sexual psychology or whatever do? I imagine a lot of their emails get marked as spam. Do they have to disguise their emails by changing words like 'penis' to say... 'puppy'? Do they send emails regarding the psychological effects of puppy size, so that their messages get through? A spam filter can't tell the difference between 'Viagara 4 low cost! Huge, fast effects now!' and 'regarding paper on effects of cost of Viagara on low income men in their 40's' or whatever.
It's probably not fair.
I'm just saying.
