Delete if Subject field is empty -
It's recommended to use this

|
Delete if Subject field is longer
then - Almost same as filter 'Delete
if email address is longer then'. It's
recommended to use this filter. |
|
Delete if word is similar to any
other word in Subject field - This filter will split subject to
words and compare it with your words. Please note that you need
to enter only one word and not more, else filter loses its
power. For example: Let say that subject field contains
sentence: 'Buy v1agra now and get 50% discount!!!'. Most people
doesn't want to hear about Viagra so you will add filter 'Block
subject word similar to' Viagra. Recommended percent of
similarity is 85%. You can check filter functionality before you
decide to use it. However, it's recommended to use this filter.
