Razor folks --
Dan (below) just tested a load of mail from the last few months against
many network tests, including Razor2. The number of hits against R2
has just dropped dramatically.
have you just done a big expiration of old hashes? What is the "typical"
length of time a message's hashes remain in the dbs?

OVERALL% SPAM% HAM% S/O RANK SCORE NAME
20114 8140 11974 0.405 0.00 0.00 (all messages)

Is RAZOR2 expiring message digests faster, did their database get
whacked, or did something else change?
The newest email in my corpus is 4 days old and I have spam going back
to the end of March 2002, so it's fairly recent stuff.
Thanks to the new date code in mass-check, I can tell you the average
age of RAZOR2_CHECK spam hits on my Jan 10 run was about 133 days which
is almost exactly the same as the average age of messages in my spam
corpus -- 135 days old.
However, the average age of RAZOR2_CHECK hits is now only 64 days, but
what concerns me more is that the SPAM% is 24x lower now. If I look at
the last 10% of my ham and spam, it's a bit better, but not great:
OVERALL% SPAM% HAM% S/O RANK SCORE NAME
2011 814 1197 0.405 0.00 0.00 (all messages)
100.000 40.4774 59.5226 0.405 0.00 0.00 (all messages as %)
2.685 6.5111 0.0835 0.987 0.89 3.91 RAZOR2_CHECK
or messages newer than 28 days:
OVERALL% SPAM% HAM% S/O RANK SCORE NAME
544 426 118 0.783 0.00 0.00 (all messages)
100.000 78.3088 21.6912 0.783 0.00 0.00 (all messages as %)
9.007 11.2676 0.8475 0.930 0.74 3.91 RAZOR2_CHECK
Note: the sample size (that's only 1 ham hit) is probably too small to
pay any attention to the S/O ratio here.
