Of spam and filters

From "Sengorn gilla" subj: "retsniem"...

One of my email accounts doesn't have a very good spam filter.

I'm not sure how hard it would be for a programmer to develop good parameters for a filter to sift out stuff like that. It's amazing that a big company like excite.com can't get their act together enough to have a program that thinks like a human enough to figure out that Sengorn gila is not a name in any of the languages that an email sender would use.
