SA out of the box has realtively weak filter for porn words, and with good
reason. SA is a **SPAM** filter, not a PORN filter. Just because porn
comes in spams doesn't mean that it doesn't also come in non-spam. SA isn't
a content filter out of the box.
Of course, you can turn SA into a porn filter, and it will filter out all
porn for you, whether it is spam or not. If you are a public library or
government-funded school or other instutition based on the concept of
freedom of informaiton to the public, then in general your policy will be to
do this.
Pontification aside, go get yourself the sare_adult.cf ruleset. It will add
points for a lot of this stuff. It will NOT add points for all of it. For
instance, "breast" is not considered a porn word any more, since it turned
out some women didn't consider discussion of "breast cancer recovery" to be
pornographic.
Also be careful of writing the usual ill thought out and draconian rules
youself like
body MY_PORN_1 /cock/i
score MY_PORN_1 100 # eliminate evil words!
That works just fine. Unless you maybe have a user or a client named John
Babcock.
