Get out your flame throwers! Here is one of these "blatantly ignorant
users": I *am* auto-reporting. And guess what: If Razor (and the other
similar services) would not let me do it I would write my own checksum
filter.

A message that came in and that for what ever reason was not tested
against Razor (in my case I cannot check every message against Razor
because this would put too much load on the server) but which is most
likely UCE or UBE should, IMO, be reported.

To me it sounds like some people have not fully understood how Razor
works and why it actually (even version 1) works. One major reason why
there are not many false positives is that a message which arrives at
my mailbox and which is falsely reported to Razor is unlikely to
arrive in someone else's mailbox. Contrary, if it is spam it is likely
to arrive at many mailboxes and should be filtered.

In case of mailing lists and such this concept does not work well. But
that's where Razor2 comes in, doesn't it?

Anyway, Matt and Jeffrey and fellows, you won't be able to stop people
from reporting non-spam messages (just by shouting out STOP!). You
will have to find a way to deal with real stupid users and with people
like me. Change the program, change your own thresholds or whatever.

BTW, I am auto-reporting and I am revoking falsely reported messages.


YMMV,
