At what threshold of razor-usage by an ISP would charges be incurred? Looking at the definition as outlined in these responses and seeing that ISP use is considered personal, at what point (in terms of number of users/emails checked) do we cross the line into "commercial" usage? I guess the question boils down to if all our users were to set up their procmail to use razor how many becomes "too many" to be covered under the ISP clause; or if we were to include the razor2 checks with sitewide spamassassin implementation, what is the "cap" on users/queries?
Disclaimer: I don't work for cloudmark, so I am merely expressing an opinion.
My general read of that clause was that there is no fixed cap per se, it's just one of those fairly wide open clauses that gives them the right to ask you to pay fees or stop, should your network ever become a very significant part of the load on the razor servers.
My impression is that they would use this if, say one network was generating so much load on the razor servers that they'd need to significantly upgrade their hardware setup just to keep it going. As an example if a massive ISP, like say aol or msn, started using razor the load on the cloudmark servers would probably jump to 10 fold what it is now. It would hardly seem fair if a single entity was using 90% of the server capacity without paying a fee.
Since their capacity is something that tends to grow over time, I think they purposely chose an ambiguous limit because it seems fair to view it more as a function of excessive strain , instead of a fixed number of requests per day. The point of "excessive strain" will change whenever cloudmark has money to buy more hardware, etc..
