Well, if "listed in razor" means "lots of people got this email recently 
and we're still wondering whether it's spam", how about

RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_91_100 (1.2 points)  BODY: Razor2 gives a spam confidence 
level between 91 and 100

Surely now this says "lots of people got this email recently, and we're 
pretty sure it's spam". Why doesn't this score +100?

I note in passing that none of

grep RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_91_100 my_ham_mailbox
grep PYZOR_CHECK my_ham_mailbox
grep RAZOR2_CHECK my_ham_mailbox

give me any output at all, i.e. none of my ham emails *at all* are listed 
in razor or pyzor. I notice also that *almost all* of the spam that lands 
in my inbox, i.e. that spamassassin misses, triggers razor or pyzor, but 
that this wasn't enough. I am coming to the conclusion that, for _me_ at 
least, bumping up the scores for these three tests might be a good idea. I 
am running this past the newsgroup so they can tell me what disasters are 
about to befall me!
