Other folks here like Razor quite a bit, but Craig and I both seem to
dislike it - not the idea, but the implementation and speed. That, plus
DNS blacklists, plus things like the "no MX for sender domain" checks, can
slow SpamAssassin down quite a bit. It all depends on the application -
I'm using it at an ISP, and use the MX checks plus a few blacklists. Razor
is too slow (and used to be unreliable, but I think that is fixed) for me.

Other folks (particularly lower-volume places) leave all of the checks on.

If you need lots of speed, run with -L.
