The TeS system was built for cases exactly like this. Currently, those who report these messages as spam are likely attaining bad trust ratings, as others revoke the messages.
Assume that Vipul or any of the other developers had the free time to investigate these specific accounts and decided to terminate them. These users would likely reregister (for registration is quite easy), and start afresh with the default trust ratings. How would this benefit the Razor community? Perhaps you should consider increasing the score that SA requires before marking a message as spam, or decrease the point value that SA gives to Razor. Last I knew, SA gives a rather high point value to Razor-listed messages; if you trust SA to do its job, it should already fairly well detect a message as spam without a relatively large boost from Razor. I don't entirely trust SA's "remove-markup" function's ability to return the message to its original (exact!) form. I haven't dealt much with plain, single-part messages, but I know that even after SA removes markup from multipart messages, you have to go through quite a bit of effort to get a valid message. It might be worth your time to remove the Razor checks from SA entirely, and to set up procmail in such a way that Razor is checked separately from, and before, SA is called. If a message is flagged by Razor, store it in one mailbox; if later flagged by SA, store it in another. I like SA a lot, but I feel (in my completely uninformed opinion) that if you wish to participate in reporting/revoking, you are probably better off dumping SA. Just my tarnished 2c.
