Are you saying "random words" or "random lettered words".  There is a
difference.  Lots of unique words having no previous score would help pass
the email.  If the email just had less than 20 such words, bogofilter would
catch it.

To me random words would be: there baker we too find automobile swordfish
Random lettered words would be: weghj wsj fgwsgfh oashweg ogdhbsdo jsjfsfhl

I just wanted to make sure those "random lettered words" help make the email
go to unsure or to ham.
