Yes. The filters aren't that smart -- they are word based, not 
natural-language based. So you can't expect them to understand term 
negation -- or spammers would start advertising "not not via-g*a."

However, with regards to rxvt in native mode, the widely spaced 
characters you are seeing happens when rxvt can't find, or doesn't 
understand, the font you specified. So, you'll need to post your 
/etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt file, your ~/.Xdefaults and/or ~/.Xresources 
file, AND the command line you used to invoke rxvt.
