So what's the point? At the risk of earning the wrath of this list, I'd like to point out that the Emporer has no clothes! ;-) If Razor relies on people submitting known spam, and the overwhelmingly vast majority of those submitting spam do so from automatically trapped spam, then razor by definition can never come close to the effectiveness of those other automated detection agents, as it will always be behind the power curve. Now for truly MISSED spam, this might make some sense, but its far better to train your own bayes filters (which will have immediate effect) than submit it to razor in the hopes that someone else will also and slowly its razor score will rise to the point of being labeled as spam. But for things already trapped by spamassassin (or any other tool) feeding razor seems rather altruistic, it will never benefit the submitter but it might help OTHER people who ONLY uses razor. More effective help for those other people would be to get them a more effective spam filter and save the bandwidth of submitting spam to razor. Ok, I'm in my bunker, - - Fire away. ;-) -- _____________________________________ John Andersen ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
