The latter, as with the ranking/confidence/trust (TeS) algorithm. > Also, is it possible for someone to write another client that would talk > with the underlying database, or is that prohibited by either > license/technical understanding... It is. The protocol is open and the razor-agents client is just a Perl app. > I'm just curious about how some of these apps work. The docs for razor-agents[1] and Cloudmark's SpamNet[2] cover quite a bit of detail. See the list archive[3] for messages from Vipul and Jordan which clarify and give more specific details. Another app based on Razor's design but fully open is Pyzor[4].
