If you can control the ruleset of your spam content filtering system, then implementing ham passwords is easy: just add a rule for the ham passwords, and maybe another rule for the reply indicator.
But if you can't manipulate your spam content filtering system, you can still implement ham passwords. Most mail systems have a simple rule system that can let you search subjects (and bodies) for specific phrases, and then if those phrases are included, directly move that message immediately into the Inbox or some other folder. That's all you need to implement ham passwords. People already use these mechanisms so that, for example, they can automatically get messages that mention a topic they're keenly interested in, or presort their messages into different folders, or trash certain spam, so the necessary mechanism is already widely implemented and understood by many. Many systems (like Runbox) even let you prioritize these rules, so it's easy to make searching for the ham passwords a high-priority rule that supercedes many other rules. Here are a few examples:
Yahoo (a web-based email service). Once logged in, click on "Mail Options", then click on "Filters". Click on "Add" to add a new rule, name the rule (name it something obvious like "Ham password") and then next to the entry for Subject "contains", add the value of your ham password. Select the action as move the message to "Inbox" (or some other folder), then click on "Add Filter".
Runbox (a web-based email service). Once logged in, click on "Manager", then click on "Filter". Select Messages where "subject" "contains" the ham password, and state that they will be saved to folder Inbox (or another folder). Be sure to select that the rule is "Active", then click on "Save settings".
Mozilla / Netscape / Thunderbird (popular email clients). Select Tools/Message Filters, then click "New". Set the filter for incoming messages that match any of the "Subject" "contains" and then enter the ham password. Set the action to be "Move to folder" and the relevant "Inbox" folder (or another folder if you prefer). Then click "OK". This information is actually for Netscape 7, but Mozilla Mail (what Netscape is based on) and Mozilla Firefox should be quite similar.
Outlook (a popular email client). Select Tools > Rules Wizard, click on "New" to create a new rule, click on "Check messages when they arrive" and then Next, and click the box next to "with specific words in the subject". A new dialog box will appear where you can Add as the words or phrases (you can add more than one); then click Next. Click on "move it to the specified folder"; then pick a folder ("Inbox" is a reasonable choice). Then give the rule a name (like "Ham password"). You can prioritize this rule, if you want to. This information is for Outlook 2000, but other versions are likely similar.
