Yep. Way back in the razor-users mailing list archives... http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.razor.user/2409 Vipul himself stated: "As long as ISP does not publish commercial software that embeds Razor, it's covered under personal usage." and "The restrictions only apply to those who are selling commercial systems that integrate Razor agents." This is two years old (it's from the thread announcing the policy), but AFAIK it's still valid. So it should still be free for a business or ISP to use Razor on its email server. As for volume, the last number I remember seeing is 100,000+ checks/day, but that pre-dates the August 2003 policy. If you're near or above that, you might want to ask over at razor-users or contact Cloudmark, but I'd guess that if they haven't blocked queries from your IP, you're probably OK. -- Kelson Vibber SpeedGate Communications <www.speed.net>
