You don't really need to do too much to do razor checking, you need to do a bit more to actually submit checksums to the razor project for spams that are not already there. I do the checking myself but don't have enough spams that get by the filters to bother with submitting the hash's to razor, although I do submit complaints to get the accounts used to spam shut down. I think that the extent that you have to go through is to issue the command to create the account on razor and all it needs is an email address for that. However, I do know that it took me a little while to get razor working correctly. I used to get the same error that you are getting when I used the spamd/spamc commands, but did not get it when I routed mail directly through spamassassin. Eventually I figured out that you need to create and run spamd as root rather than as a user account because it looks for the razor account info in the home directory of the user account used to run spamd. Or, I suppose you could configure it properly, I just never bothered with it since I don't mind spamd running as root. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
