Yes, I think it's probably best to more or less disable it for now.  I think
I'll do it by making the default be non-submission, and removing the
documentation sections on the autosubmission options.  I tend to agree with
Charlie and others on the razor list who think there should be only two sources
for razor submissions: 1. Manually verified spam, and 2. Spamtraps.  Auto
submission of mixed inboxes seems of dubious value.

I think even with ones own server, it's of dubious value.  If you were running
SA to id the spam in the first place on your local system, then why submit it to
your personal razor DB?  Just pass all mail through SA and it'll all get scored
equally high.  Passing mail through the full SA process doesn't generate that
much more load than just razor (which currently has no razorc/razord type
thing), is it?
