Only one or two percent of the mail I receive is direct to me. The rest is mailing lists and newsletters. So no, Razor is not working well for me. If I had other people helping me, it might. I had hoped that Razor V2 would be an improvement, but the auto-reported stuff looks like it is turning Razor into a duplicate of SpamAssassin. Auto-reported stuff can easily overwhelm the input of actual human beings. Since I am already paying the cost of running SA, running Razor is starting to look like a waste of CPU cycles.
