Ironically, the very issue of the razor-users digest that contained the message above was tagged as spam by razor. I suspect that there are some folks who are funneling non-verified or low-threshold SpamAssassin output into razor-report. If you're using SpamAssassin, please raise your threshold for reporting to Razor to at *least* 15 points (I still get false positives even in my 15-point box), or verify the messages yourself before reporting them, or just don't auto-report. All you are doing by reporting unverified spam is making more work for others and eroding your own confidence rating. I have been using the revoke feature, but it could stand to work faster. I think I have revoked false positives from the Merriam-Webster word of the day list three times, and I am not sure yet if they are coming through. And please don't use Razor as a means of removing yourself from an opt-in mailing list that you are too lazy to figure out how to unsubscribe from. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] John Stimson http://www.idsfa.net/~john/ HMC Physics '94 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
