Am I off base here?
No, I think you're right. I wasn't considering razor (and I don't use pyzor). Regardless, it's not a major problem. Razor adds to the score of the spams that it recognizes. If it a spam manages to alter itself enough to slip by razor, there are still the built-in rules, custom rules, bayes, DNS blacklists, and URL blacklists. That's the nice thing about SpamAssassin. It uses lots of different techniques to score the spam. Spammers may be able to fool one or two of them, but it's hard to get around them all at once. Bowie
