The only problem is that there are A LOT of combinations. Just taking
the 26 letters, for a 4 digit string, there are 456,976 possible
combinations. However if you assume that no singe character is
repeated, the number drops to only 358,800. If you toss in the 10
digits, that climbs to 1,679,616. Then you have to subtract valid words
or portion of words. I don't think you want to create message filters
for over a million conbinations.
