I read it on the internet (so it has to be true<g>) that razor2 does not
work with Windows. ("Note that Razor support does not seem to work on
Windows systems. Win32 users should disable the Razor tests using "score
RAZOR2_CHECK 0".)

My research was poorly done before my install, and I didn't find this tidbit
of wisdom until afterwards. I did the download, untar, nmake, nmake install,
-create, -discover, -register, loadplugin, test and roll out to production,
and THEN found the Wiki article. I'm wondering if I should be concerned.

Razor2 seems to work very effectively and really makes a difference in my
installlation. 6,000 spams hit RAZOR2 in only 10K emails since install. This
is a wonderful result. I've yet to find a false positive.

Does anybody know what problems I was supposed to have running razor2 under
windows? I'd really hate to find I must stop using it, but I'd certainly
like to know in advance.
