Razor has always been "free", even during that very short timeframe of like
6 months where they were considering charging for usage if you were using
Razor in a revenue based model. However, as you probably know, that was
very short lived and quickly reverted back to just plain "free".
A development effort is a development effort. If Declude can integrate
CommTouch into JunkMail, or URIBL checks, then I am confident that could
just as well integrate any or all of the spam hashing services as well. But
maybe you know more about Declude's development staff and their capabilities
than I do, so I'll admit that I could be wrong...

Subject: Re[4]: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude 4.3 - Commtouch trial ?
Just as SA and other spam apps have built in support for these
freely available and open source spam services, nothing would have
prevented Declude from doing the same.
Don't agree. Have you ever looked at the Rhyolite lists and looked at
Vernon's opinion of commercial DCC sofware and appliances? And Razor
just would've started being legal to integrate on May 5, 2006 -- and
one could safely assume that Commtouch planning started quite a bit
before that (don't know how far before, admittedly).
Declude has stated that they will eventually be including support
for URIBL checks within JunkMail. This has to be accomplished by
reviewing open source specifications and then building support to
the specs so that queries to the URIBL servers are delivered in the
correct format and the returning responses can be correctly
interpreted. Thus, no different then Declude looking at building in
support to these various spam checksum services - send the query in
the correct format, and properly interpret the returned response.
Again, I disagree. That's like saying that coding a SpamAssassin
client like SPAMC32 is no easier than Darrell's InvURIBL. Believe me,
I'm proud of some of my bells and whistles, but I know enough to admit
that performing URIBL checks efficiently *and* creatively is a much
bigger development task.
