I installed the spamassassin a week ago and I *love* it.
http://spamassassin.taint.org or from CPAN
It uses Vipul's Razor as one of its spam scoring methods.
By default the weight 3 of a possible 5 so that the Razor
alone is insufficient for spamassassin to mark a message as
spam, but gets it really close. Some other feature like a
forged From addr is enought, so it is damn impressive.
The .procmailrc below makes a reversible spam filter for me
(I skim with 'mutt -f =caughtmail' periodically to see if
it made any mistakes) and added a mutt macro in my .muttrc
to report spam it didn't catch to the Razor. Here are the
snippets from my dotfiles. I got this from spamassasin's
own README file... the URL follows the dotfile snippets.
-- my .muttrc --
...
# Give the message to Vipul's Razor
macro index X "| spamassassin -r"
...
-- my .procmailrc --
:0f
| /usr/local/bin/spamassassin -P
:0e
{
EXITCODE=$?
}

I'd also recommend some kind of reversible spam filtering - after all, razor has had a couple of bad false positives in the past week or so, including bugtraq posts and messages to the razor-users mailing list. Possible approaches include using mutt's scoring, or creating a special folder to which all messages identified as spam by razor are written. -- Thomas Roesslerhttp://log.does-not-exist.org/ msg21492/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think your best bet is to check them at delivery time via your MDA (maildrop, procmail, etc.) Have it add a header indicating its results, and have mutt perform checks based on the presence or contents of this header.

razor-check
Hi, I am looking for ways to incorporate razor-check into my mail reading with mutt. (http://razor.sf.net/) I've got a few ways of doing it as far as I can see. Bind a keypress that runs razor-check with the currently selected message, so I can check whether a message is marked as spam or not in the razor catalogue. I see it either changing the score for that message or flagging it in some way if it's a spam. A folder-hook or something like that that will run razor-check on each message when I open the mailbox. Or a keypress that I can use to spamcheck the entire mailbox I have open. This can then score the message lower if it's a spam according to the razor database. I'm wanting to do it in mutt first so I can check to see whether razor's reliable before incorporating it into either my Mail::Audit script and/or our mail exim configuration. I just see problems if the razor-check client can't connect to the razor servers. Anyone able to help with this? Other ways of doing it? Does anyone any good/bad reports of using vipul's razor?
