Handling profanity in Spam with fuzzy matching?
What can I do to catch and handle Spam that has profanity with fuzzy matching?
Is there anything that has a good level of accuracy of trapping porn spam?

I think you missed the "fuzzy" word in the original email. From what I
can see, the SARE Adult rule tags spam that use English "rude words" -
not words that have been - well - fuzzed - to bypass such rules.
We've seen a real increase in these too. SA can't see them very well as
they aren't good English (actually, neither is that sentence. Let's not
go there ;-)
Simply adding dup letters, etc totally throws off standard word matching.
However, there's no reason why the rulesets couldn't include such
mis-spellings...

Try the SARE Adult ruleset. They've worked fairly well for me; not
perfect.
