Razor needs to be updated because the old version's submissions are no longer accepted (you have to register now to have your submissions accepted). For those wondering you register with razor-register.
Uploaded new packages to contrib. Until they get updated into Mandrake's mirrors they are available here: http://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/i586/cooker/ Name : perl-Razor-Agent Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 2.12 Vendor: MandrakeSoft Release : 1mdk Build Date: Thu 11 Jul 2002 02:59:44 PM PDT Install date: Thu 11 Jul 2002 03:42:19 PM PDT Build Host: occipital.brain.org Group : Networking/Mail Source RPM: perl-Razor-Agent-2.12-1mdk.src.rpm Size : 174599 License: Artistic Packager : Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL : http://razor.sourceforge.net Summary : Use a Razor catalogue server to filter spam messages Description : Vipul's Razor is a distributed, collaborative, spam detection and filtering network. Razor establishes a distributed and constantly updating catalogue of spam in propagation. This catalogue is used by clients to filter out known spam. On receiving a spam, a Razor Reporting Agent (run by an end-user or a troll box) calculates and submits a 20-character unique identification of the spam (a SHA Digest) to its closest Razor Catalogue Server. The Catalogue Server echos this signature to other trusted servers after storing it in its database. Prior to manual processing or transport-level reception, Razor Filtering Agents (end-users and MTAs) check their incoming mail against a Catalogue Server and filter out or deny transport in case of a signature match. Catalogued spam, once identified and reported by a Reporting Agent, can be blocked out by the rest of the Filtering Agents on the network. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
