Howdy. I've been a longtime razor user, and found it to be an
excellent way to cut down on spam. Razor catches about 60% of my spam;
I use crm114 (http://crm114.sf.net/) for a text analysis filter after
that, and get a really clean inbox most of the time.

In fact, I have to admit that I've gotten so self-satisfied with Razor
that I started redirecting razor-failed mail straight to /dev/null
from procmail, rather than saving it off to a folder to be
hand-checked periodically. I know, I know... hubris!

Which is probably why it took me so long to notice a weird false
positive happening with razor. On my home mail server I run a small,
low-volume mailing list for friends (<50 people on the list).  At some
point in the last month or so, razor-check started failing _all_ mail
on this mailing list. Since my mail account is on the same computer
the Mailman list server works on, and since there are so few people on
the list, I find it highly unlikely that a sufficient number of people
have reported the messages before my razor-check runs in my
.procmailrc.

I've attached a copy of a sample mail from this list, as well as the
razor-check debug output. One of the signature algorithms is firing,
but I don't know the underbelly of razor to understand why. As far as
I know, razor doesn't use RBLs or sender blacklisting, but if it did,
this list _should_ be clean. http://rbls.org/ reports the server's IP
as A-OK.

Can anyone give me a hand? I'd really like to make this false-positive
stop.
