Note that doing it this way instead of inside SA means that razor is being used as a black/white decision criterion, rather than as just-another-scored-rule in SA. SA assigns razor a score of 3.0 by default, which means that by itself a razor positive is not enough to flag a message as spam. Now probably, the score should be higher (4? 4.5?), but part of the strength of SA is that it doesn't tend to flag things based on a single criterion. I do like the concept of only calling Razor for messages bigger than a certain size. I think maybe I'll add that to SA. Well, I'll file a bugzilla ticket for now, maybe fix it later.
