why not just run email through a spellchecker and mark everything that
contains more then your average typos and mistakes as spam.

in the long run this may also help to get more people to pay attention
to their spelling.

and then see if the spammers manage to compose messages that are spelled
correctly and do not contain any of the keywords...
