    I am using antispam settings, words and phrases to block.
    I received a spam email that allowed the submission even though it used a blocked word.
    The word is

    sister

    .
    If I test the submission using just that word it is blocked.
    But, If I use that word in a sentence such as:

    Нellо all, guу?! I know, mу mе??agе mау bе too ?peс?fiс,
    But my ?ister found n?сe m&#

    The submission is allowed.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    So it turns out the spammer is not using all characters in GSM charset.
    They are substituting the “s” in sister for a character not present in GSM charset so it then allows the word.
    Is there anyway to get around this?

    Unless someone has a way to block all non GSM characters I was able to block those words by copying the “s” from the emailed submission as a non GSM character into the antispam settings words or phrases to block.
    Then it will successfully block that character.
