Hm, this message is dated the 2 of april, wouldn't the 1st be more appropriate? onitoring on bad words, come on... Tell your boss that his students/employees/whoever can easily send `Mein Kampf' through all his filters without him noticing anything at all. Things like PGP and S/MIME come to mind, or Base64, or UUencode, Rot13, whatever. This does not seem like a reasonable pursuit...
