Yes, I still have other rules enabled. I have found the Cloudmark product to

understand the results I'm seeing.
From my perspective, Cloudmark is an overall anti-spam solution whereas
Razor is a single score in the anti-spam framework.
Cloudmark likely uses their "/Cloudmark Collaborative Security Network/"
which is what Razor queries as well. However, for Cloudmark, the CCSN
query is just one part of their framework for testing messages if I had
to make a slightly educated guess.
The first step is getting SA's framework built. Then you start looking
at tweaking and adding things that improve the framework. Cloudmark has
likely done this for you so comparing Cloudmark to Razor is apples to
oranges. A framework can't be compared to one test.
There are lots of things that can use the framework of SA from
content-based heuristic tests to pathway analysis via DNSBLs to even
things like OCR checks on images.
Hope this helps.
