shit, has anybody used razor?  blech.  I used for exactly
one day, it caught almost no spam (i imagine because of the
about sort of thing) and I three false positives.  Tow of
which were generated by employees, one by a customer.

what incredible crap -- some fucking fingerprint.  i wasn't
so surprised at the lack of catches, i was really unprepared
for the false positives though.

i haven'r tried pyzor or that tla i can't remember (and am
too lazy to look up) from vernon schryver and pals...

probably won't, has anybody?
