I have a fault report in with Sophos, but I'll consider switching to Sophie (we used to run it until SAVI-Perl came along). >> When I use "scan.pl" (from the SAVI-Perl utils) and "razor" to scan the >> respective emails, glibc spits out a helpful error message, but this >> doesn't show in the mail logs when AMaViS encounters the problem, >> unless run in debug mode. > > Does the scan.pl / razor process survive after spitting out the message? > What is its exit status?

Running razor-check under gdb shows a fault somewhere in the .xs file that cleans up HTML, but I'm not much of a C programmer, and there are way too many refs and pointers in there for me to work out what's wrong. Valgrind had a lot to say about it too. I've logged a bug report on Sourceforge. Razor seems to be pretty good value for detecting spam. But it doesn't appear to be supported anymore. If it didn't help so much with catching spam I'd consider just turning it off. Do other people have the same level of success with Razor?
