Am looking for a dictionary of swear words "peteZ" <peteZ[ at ]aol.com> 27.01.2006 10:49:39 I have completed my project to develop an anti-spam plugin to Outlook 2003. It uses VS2005 and VSTO and SQL Express (written in C#) and I must say I am thrilled with the result. I have been testing on users (like me) who get > 400 spams per day (thus the fake email addy)) and have reduced it to either 1, 2 or 3 or, more frequently no spam each day - it's detected and moved to configured spam folders. As it gets smarter, I get less spam. I am using a few new tricks (not Bayesian either) and am getting very accurate results apart from a few false positves (about 0.5%) which I am not happy about. I have developed a word / sentence analysis algorithm that gets smarter with each email I mark as spam (or the domain as a spam domain) but need to crystalise a list of "bad words" ie. swear or porno words to better the algorithm. Does anyone now of a set of these word types that are freeware ? I can create my own but it might be a bit of a job to build, but it's quite possible. I'd prefer a list that could be loaded into a SQL Server database thanks if you can help, - peteZ

The alt.comp.freeware newsgroup may be a jumping off point for that. -- Brian Tillman
