The blacklist seems to just work based on numbers (from contact list or input directly). That's how I've used it (am using it). Basically, any message that is received from a blacklisted number is "swallowed" by the app. You don't get a received sms notification. You also have the option to still show the blacklisted messages in your message inbox or not show them (the app will hide these messages). I've had a quick look and it does not support keyword blacklisting. I think that might be a bit difficult. An innocent sms from a friend could potentially be blacklisted if it contains that keyword.

Good to know. ...And block by content keywords? - except contacts and/or another whitelist?
ie. - (contains:"New M-PESA balance is") AND NOT (from:mpesa) ;)

There is the opportunity! To build an app to intercept incoming sms, and block according to user-settable parameters.
I don't have time at the moment - anybody?
Or I just throw the Techno, and get an Ubuntu phone ;)
