So how do they feel about rules called EJACULATION, CUM_SHOT, RAPE ?
If that's what the rule matches, that's what the rule should be called,
otherwise we're constantly looking up what some cryptic rule name is
for.
 
Ask them if it's more offensive than the actual spam, offer to disable
all rules with offensive or politically-incorrect names for them any
time they like. What are you, a bofh or a mouse? :)

I had one similar complaint when a message full of management-speak
triggered the RICH rule for one of my commercial clients. The
description for the rule is "if only it were that easy" and the MD took
a while to see the funny side of having his speech criticised by a
mailserver. More to the point, the name and description of the rule were
sufficiently counter-intuitive that I had to look it up to see what it
was supposed to be. Had it been described something like "make you rich
quick" it would've been helpful.

Seriously though, the rule names and descriptions are a little informal
in places. I've seen some effort go into tidying up some rule names for
2.60, it would be nice to see them all with "management-safe"
descriptions as well.
