Matt, | Unfortunately that's not strictly true. | | You could very easily poison the database using short english phrases.

This is one of the three reasons why amavisd-new (a MTA-to-virus scanner interface, which can call SA as well) prefers to call Razor by itself and not letting SA do it: - amavisd-new avoids calling Razor for mail with body of 0 or 1 line only (too many false positives there: empty, foo, Test 2, *, aaa, ...) two other reasons are: - we need SHA1 hash, so we calculate it ourselves. Now that we have it, it makes no sense to have SA-called Razor parse the message and compute the hash again - for long messages it it too painful to call SA, but quite cheap and useful to only call Razor Regards Mark (btw, amavis-new home is at: http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/ ) -- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
