...except that according to http://razor.sourceforge.net/docs/whatsnew.html, this is one of the new features of V2.
"...Nilsimsa is a fuzzy signature algorithm... [which] disregards small changes (mutations) in text that are statistically irrelevant. Nilsimsa signatures can be compared to determine the similarity (between 0 - 100%) in source texts. Razor v2 includes support for Nilsimsa signatures.... Ephemeral Signatures are short-lived signatures... [which] select a section of text from the spam message based on a random number... [t]his makes the hashing scheme a moving target, and spammers can't exploit it because they don't know which part of the message will be hashed after the random number rollover." I don't care why this is not working out-of-the-box (I don't currently use Razor), but apparently it isn't. This should be explained on the "What's New in Vipul's Razor V2" page. Checksums are done by Razor V1; as Peter specifically said "Razor 2", I would assume that he's referring to features which distinguish V1 from V2, such as those listed on the "What's New" page. Razor V2 seems to be short on documentation, especially that which notes the reliability of its components, and long on promises. A little clarification would go a long way -- people seem to be more annoyed by inflated promises than by useful code in progress.
