Yes, but Razor is only one of many tests performed, and unless your
kill_level is quite low, will not in itself be enough to quarantine
spam. I think the maximum possible Razor score is 2.5.

Amavisd-new does not call Razor directly (any more - since a long time
ago). Even when it did, no Razor reporting was done. SpamAssassin calls
Razor, and does not report to Razor during a normal test. 'spamassassin -r'
will report to Razor, sa-learn or spamassassin net test will not. If
reporting was done during the net test, I would think every piece of mail
would be reported, so that can't happen.
