[Mimedefang] Question for the HOWTO page

So, did the message attached below fire up because it contained the
words "porn" and "viagra"?  Does that mean that not only spam, but
talking about spam, is subject to filtration?  ;-)

I was going to try the config below...  I'll see how it works.

I ran the spamassassin -t -x test that's in the HOWTO, but I think it
generates different results by hand than when run out of MdF.  Not
sure why.  Will dig deeper.
