As for the number of revokes/reports, you should be able to track that locally with sufficient logging.
As for the number of reports not previously listed, what does this statistic tell you? Even if the email is already in the razor DB submitting it does help increase the confidence in it. Not everyone (myself included) uses razor at the "ac" level of confidence (I use ac+10).
FAQ Maintainer:
Might i suggest something a bit more clear about this in the FAQ. Bear in mind that those who are heading to the FAQ aren't likely to even know what TeS stands for, so they won't even understand the question. Yes, FAQs really should be written down to the "I don't understand the basics" level.
Suggested addition:
Q: How does razor decide which submissions to trust when declaring email to be spam?
Razor uses a Truth Evaluation System (TeS) to assign a trust level, or rating, to those who make reports.
In general reporting spam and issuing revokes for nonspam help your rating. Conversely reporting things
such as mailing lists that a large number of users will have to revoke will hurt your rating.
Q: Can I find out what my TeS rating is?
TeS ratings are not published yet. We might decide to publish them in future.
The first question makes the second question a lot clearer.
While I'm at it, can I also suggest elaborating this one a bit?:
Q: I have a firewall. What ports do I need to open in order for Razor2 to work?
Outgoing TCP port 2703 (Razor2) and 7 (Echo). Razor2 uses TCP pings to discover what servers are closest to it. Please note that these are outbound connection to ports 7 and 2703 on the razor server. The razor servers do not need to connect to these ports on your system and you do not need to make your server's echo port accessible to them.
(Yes I've seen the claim that this is a security hole for the network running the razor client because someone missed the point that it's the razor-server's echo port, not the razor-client's port.)

is there any way to get info about my user's submissions? i.e. the number of revokes, the number of reports, the number of reported spams that were not previously reported, my personal confidence level, etc....Thanks, Jon.
