[olug] interesting reading ( always looking for spamblockingtechniques ;-)

[Tim - DZ]

That's a good point. 

Seems like scrambling large words would still work as long as most letters
never strayed from thier original position more than say 3 or 4 spots...has
anyone read anything about something like this?  I remember reading the
postings and following links when this was fresh on Slashdot, but don't
remember any research done on cases like this...

Sure it is easy with an internal switch of certain letters.  But try
mixing longer words...eytrnivehg bmeecos qtiue jlbemdue.  There are
certain words that read easier than others.  Notice the article chooses
several 4 letter words, which would facilitate only 2 letters getting
swapped.  Further, they are ones that are often misspelled anyway. 
that--taht  what--waht.  

Just wanted to be the fly in the soup.  :o)

theres a little perl script to 'scramble given input text' along with
links
to some other articles on language websites...

filtering
and if there are +20 words misspelled junking it.... anyone else have
feedback ?
( e.g. above and beyond the already available spam catchers ... SA /
perlscanner / procmail recipes )
