Well, if you're doing a milter call anyway, you're not losing anything
by moving all your content filtering into the milter.

And Ken's code could pick out individual words from the subject and
find them in the database.  I bet you _could_ do that with Sendmail
rulesets, but I shudder to imagine what they'd look like.
