Indeed.  If you've been following razor-users, this was a recently
touched nerve.  The discussion raised some interesting issues.  Among
these:

1.  Is Razor for filter users to share spam info. with non-filter/Razor
users?

2.  Or is Razor strictly a tool for sharing info. about filter resistent
spam?

Part of the auto-reporting issue depends on *what* is doing the
auto-reporting.  SB, does indeed seem to be pretty strict about what it
marks as definite spam - most of what it filters is marked as *blocked*.

Determining just what constitutes spam was another interesting point.
With SA, you have lots of control over sensitivity.  Not so with Razor -
so whatever, or whoever reports determines whether you will get a given
piece of mail, if you depend on Razor to make the decision.  And this
could be a big drawback automation or not - though there was mention
that this sort of issue was being to be addressed in Razor 2.
