Both. They work in a different way, either of them has a good chance of catching many kinds of spam. When talking abouy PYZOR, I would advise of using RAZOR, which I found being more easier to configure (especially your "user account") and effective than PYZOR - it has its own trust evaluation system, while pyzor only has numbers of reports and whitelistings (SA currently uses only reports afaik). Therefore I found many PYZOR false positives (mailing lists monthly notices), I guess some users check for spamminess and report automatically which is a bad idea imho... > I was thinking, lets have a mail that it is not a SPAM, and a SA with a spam > level of 5.

Listing in RAZOR/PYZOR means that many users have reported it as spam, so I would ask how is it possible that such mail got listed. Yes, see my comment above for PYZOR... -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
