Anyone understand how to spam?

Anyone understand how to spam? Well, here's an idea. Spam lots of Chinese email addresses with the randomised sentences - in Chinese - so beloved of spammers these days. Load in a lot of text and pepper it with key words that are picked up by the filters. These will then have to be passed on to the monitors for translation, they won't be delivered. What's needed of course is a lot of different email addresses for the spam sending or the government will pick up on the fact that only a few email addresses need to be blocked out of the system.

That ought to put a crimp in the works...
