One that struck me was the "<slash>gall<slash>" entry. I assume it's from 
some email that tries to helpfully connect people with pictures of 
well-endowed females (presumably "gall" is short for "gallery"), but it's 
also a simple and short english word.

Tha _gall_ of some people to do things like that! Imagine if I tried to 
write that in italics rather than underlined?

Similarly, while cursing is fine (goodie - otherwise half my emails would 
get eaten :^), and I can say "Goddamn everybody to Hell", I would be in 
trouble if I wrote "Jesus H Christ, that's stupid" and didn't have that 
'H' in there.

And trigegring on "god<space>fearing" is apparently also a sure-fire way 
to get rid of the religious nuttery spam without ever triggering in normal 
cases? Really? 

That said, most of the taboo list is pretty amusing and I suspect hard to 
trigger in any real email.  But parts of that list do look pretty 
debatable.
