Razor2 is free for everyone:
Razor2 Service Policy V2.0
March 13, 2006
Razor2 agents connect to the Cloudmark Collaborative Security
Network to report spam and check for fingerprints. Cloudmark
provides free and open access to the CCSN but reserves the right
to deny access to anyone.
And DCC is free as long as you are not making it part of a commercial
filtering product:
The non-commercial DCC software is distributed under a license
<http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc/LICENSE> that is free only to
organizations that do not sell filtering devices or services except
to their own users and
that participate in the global DCC network. ISPs that use DCC to
filter mail for their
own users are intended to be covered by the free license
<http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc/LICENSE>.
Pyzor is another service similar to Razor that is also free.
