What do people think of Razor?
I've had times when it's just a pain in the arse (blank messages get tagged, as to messages with a single 'test' in them).
It adds to network traffic if you have alot of email too. I'm looking at my spam and seeing if SA would have caught the spam anyway. If thats the case then Razor is pretty useless. Nice idea though
Yeah, nice idea, but it doesn't seem to work as well as it could. The extra latency doing the network checks can be a problem, and I noticed an unacceptable number of false positives, even with the "confidence level" in razor2 set to 100%. A bit of discussion on the SA mailing list suggests that the problem is a combination of people overzelously reporting non-spam as spam (or using auto-reporters) and bugs in the code that would falsely match messages it shouldn't. Definately not reliable enough for any kind of sitewide system. Regards, Simon
