You're right...It has already been flagged by SA...but what if SA didn't catch something, and you chose to store it in that same place as the other batch. You're then reporting spam that wasn't detected...and once that's in the Razor database(s), SA will catch it as spam, as part of its razor check. > 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. As I said...it might not have been caught by the automated detection agents. Adding it to the razor database will help the automated detection of SA (if being used with Razor). -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a message of: subscribe ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
