While I do consider myself pretty technical, after reading the article I don't think it is fair to spamassassin, but I dont think it was libelous as one person suggested. I was able to get SA installed in less than 1 hour. I downloaded the tarball, installed it, created a .procmailrc file to a

[SAtalk] Razor problems

Is there a way to determine if there is a problem with the servers razor uses (such as an announce list or network status). Do people find the razor (cloudmark) servers do not always accept spam reports? I've been getting Nov 19 12:19:47.329814 report[2920]: [ 5] Connecting to folly.cloudmark.c

Message that generate a high enough 'spam value' get internally fed to 'sa-learn' and are marked with 'autolearn=spam' in the X-Spam-Status header. Once a message has been trained via sa-le
