Hi, I'm curious about spam apps. In trying to get a better understanding of how some of the apps are designed/work, I came across "Razor"/Cloudmark. In doing some basic Google/research, I came across the razor app and I'm trying to get an answer to some basic questions... My basic question has to

Well, now that the new reporting server has been online for a week (Thanks Jordan!), I have definitely noticed a major improvement in reporting. Reports now flow through the system as fast as they used to when Razor first came on line. Good to be able to start reporting my few thousand daily spams

Razor (still running BTW) and Razor2 are open collaborative filtering anti-spam services. razor-agents (both Razor and Razor2 versions) is a software package of open-source tools written in Perl for interacting with the Razor and Razor2 service. SpamNet in the service sense is an equivalent term
