Instead of their message going to the mailing list, the sender would receive a document via email. This is an effective way to block unwanted topics on your mailing list.
You can have several phrases, any of which will cause this action, by entering several phrases in the field. The phrases must be entered one on each line, for example:

make money fast
For power users, match phrases support regular expression for matching text. To specify that a given match phrase text is a regular expression you surround the text with / characters, as in: /regexp/ (Note: Regular expressions are a sophisticated mathematical description for text matching patterns).
Reject this Message
Set whether or not the message will be rejected based on the inclusion of a match phrase entered above. If set to "Yes," the message will be rejected, and can be done with or without a response document; if set to "No," the message will be accepted, with or without a response document. The default is set to "Yes".
Response Documents
Determines what response, if any, when this match phrase is triggered. The default is set to "(none)".
If you select a document from the drop-down menu, this document will be sent to the person who sent the message. Note that for documents to appear in this drop-down menu, they must first be created in Utilities: Automated Messages: Document Content.
If you choose "(none)" then no document will be mailed back and the email message that caused the "match phrase hit" will be accepted or rejected based on the above setting (without sending a document back to the sender). You can use this "(none)" match phrase response to stop mail loops or to blacklist people that you don't want accessing your server.
To summarize, when a match phrase is found, there are four options, based on the above settings:
1. Reject the message with no response document (reject = yes, response document = none )
2. Reject the message with a response document (reject = yes, response document = any from the list)
3. Accept the message with no response document (reject = no, response document = none)
4. Accept the message with a response document (reject = no, response document = any from the list)
