If you're using spamassassin, spamassassin automatically detects the presence of Razor and will automatically call razor whenever it processes messages. No further configuration needed.


Most sites that use both razor and SA just let SA call razor, and are done with it that way. Razor shows up as RAZOR2_CHECK and RAZOR2_CF_RANGE* in the SpamAssassin rules.

It is possible to use razor as a spamfilter directly, by calling razor-check from procmail, but this is somewhat less flexible than just letting SA handle it, and if you've got SA in use, why bother.

What I have not been able to determin is:
1 - What does razor do with an email that is spam?

nothing. razor-check merely returns a return code that procmail and similar filters may use.


Does it tell spamassassin that its spam?

This relationship is the other way around. SA calls razor and asks it if the message is spam.


Does it tag it in some way?

No, razor doesn't do message tagging. See man razor-check for procmail rules that will do this for you.



2 - Can I set up a filter in my client to forward
    spam to a local MTA account on the server for
    report/revoke at a later date?

Yes. Be wary of forwarding clients that mangle the message body by inserting "forwarded message follows" and other garbage of the sort. It doesn't make the reports useless, but can make the e4 report less useful.
