from "man razor-report and man razor-check", the servers razor-check
queries are catalogue servers and the servers razor-report sends
spam to are nomination servers.
*one* of the things i'd like is a local catalogue server. local
users would query against this server. queries would go faster
since they're local, fewer system resources would be needed since
razor-check processes wouldn't stay around so long). updates of
the catalogue could be realtime or batch.
actually, even a "caching aggregator" would probably be sufficient.
razor-check would query the aggregator. if the spam was already
in the cache, then the reply would be immediate. if it wasn't
in the cache yet, then the aggregator would ask a catalogue
server.
nomination servers probably aren't necessary at the small ISP
end. razor-report is far less common than razor-check.
users can nominate straight to cloudmark. that also keeps
nomination servers away from the dirty hands of spammers, who
might be able to spoof the global catalogue if they could find
a local nomination server that reports nominations to the
global database.
by the way, i've looked around on the cloudmark site and i don't
see cloudmark's business model. is cloudmark going to sell
servers? will the caching aggregator be cheaper than the
full server? :)
