Make a rule for incoming email that spell checks and puts C.I.A.L.

If you had a rule that spell checked incoming emails, you could get rid of
emails that have too many mistakes. This could help you get rid of emails
containing modified words like V.i.a.g.r.a and C!alis for example. This
could revolutionize email spam blocking!!!! Currently my spam blocking can't
handle this kind of email without me coming up with every possible
combination of each word that is considered a spam email.

I can't imagine that this would be anything other than a huge resource drain
& give you incredible performance problems, even if it could work, which it
can't. Plus, the mail would have to be downloaded already to Outlook in
order for any rule to act on it, so you wouldn't save much there. Also, mail
from your dear aunt Gladys who is a really lousy typist & never
spell-checks, would end up in the trash bin.

Sounds like your existing spam blocking software isn't very good, if it has
to rely on manually specified keywords. You might want to look into another
product. I've been very happy with Spambayes, which is free - google it.
