But wait a minute here... His spam detection is already working, and he is routeing this spam to his spam folder. Its just NOT RAZOR that is detecting the stuff as spam. He said: >I'm running SpamAssassin + Razor via a sendmail milter, so spam >detection is done at the earliest possible moment from the >perspective of our network. A copy of anything scoring over 5.0 is >saved on our mail server So feeding this already-automatically-detected-spam to razor is going to do NOTHING for his over-all spam detection, because all he is doing is training razor to recognize spam that has already been recognized as spam by some other Spamassassin tests. Its not going to help him at all. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
