Well... Bayes certainly works on Russian words. Most Russian spam is correctly recognized by my Bayes-enabled SpamAssassin. If you DON'T want any Russian email you can make a rule for the Cyrillic character set, but to write custom rules against Russian spam would be difficult.

You can only block or allow specific languages and/or charsets, but creating rules that will match words written in language other than English is impossible. Eugene
