Messages are not being sent to the razor servers, only a signature hash of
the message is sent to the servers for checking.  This from the Razor
readme:

"It should be noted that Razor v2 _does not_ accept contents of legit email
during a check dialogue. Only signatures are sent when checking email."

I don't think this is currently possible, nor does it make sense to me.  It
may be the response from the razor server that pushes the message over your
spam threshold.  I would rather check mail against the razor servers that
has not yet met my spam threshold (to make sure it's not spam) then mail
that has already passed my spam threshold, since I already know that it's
spam and don't need further confirmation from the razor servers.

Just my 2 cents...
