hello,

i reported a spam (see attached).  i then checked to see if it would be
flagged as spam.  razor-check, at min_cf=ac does not flag it.  but 
with min_cf=ac-1 it's flagged.  this is fine for me.  i'll just set
my min_cf to ac-1.  so that spam i flag myself (but which perhaps
no one else has voted on) is flagged.  i have a few questions:

1.  is there a way to query my own trust rating?  i'd like to know
    if it's too low (so that i can avoid reporting since it would 
    be pointless).  also, will there be a way to view my own
    reporting history (spam messages, and perhaps a summary of the
    voting patterns on the same spam by others).  this might
    help me learn what kinds of spam not to revoke or what kinds of
    spam not to report.  since it only indicates how others have
    voted (and that, only in summary) perhaps that doesn't leak 
    enough information about TeS and scoring to help spammers?

2.  will cloudmark sell licenses to run a razor server?  

    i work for a small ISP overseas. bandwidth is scarce there and
    having our own nomination server (updated at off-peak when bandwith
    is unused, or even in realtime, but at least only once per spam
    rather than the same spam being checked with the global servers
    every time it's received) would help a lot.  

    spammers could be prevented from polluting the global database
    by having the global database accept spam reports only from
    trusted servers.  or reports could be always to the global
    servers, with downstream servers being just proxies or caches
    for razor-check.

 3. given that a spam that i reported myself is not flagged as spam
    when i check for it again, are there tips on how to set things 
    up (apart from setting min_cf=[n<ac]) so that spam that i 
    reported myself is always flagged?
