I've been running my own home mailserver for several years now, and have had
Postfix-to-Procmail-to-SpamAssassin config stripping spam for me, but today
I did a "spamassassin --list -D" to check to see if a new rule I put in
worked, and I noticed for the first time that it said Razor2 was not active.

Hmmmm I thought.  I checked out the website, downloaded and deployed razor2
(had to open a couple ports on the firewall, but they were documented in an
FAQ), and have been watching the system since.  Razor2 is catching all kinds
of stuff that used to get super super low scores and nailing them.  For
instance, I saw one that all SpamAssassin caught by itself was an HTML tag
unbalanced for 0.5 or something; once it added in the razor2 checks, it had
enough points to qualify as spam.

I'm impressed!

So with all that said, what's the easiest way to submit an email that does
slip through?  Presently, I'd copy the email source, ssh into my mailserver,
and type "spamassassin -r<cr><paste><ctrl-D>" and log out.  Is that what I
ought to be doing?

Thanks all, and again, wow, good job.

Ian
