   automatically reports to Razor.

Q: I have a colleague/relative/friend who uses Windows and gets
   a lot of Spam. How can they report/check spam using Razor?

   Ask them to download Cloudmark's SpamNet available from
   http://cloudmark.com. SpamNet is an Outlook plugin, whose
   functionality is equivalent to Razor2 and talks to the
   same network.

Q: How does razor decide which submissions to trust when
   declaring email to be spam?

   Razor uses a Truth Evaluation System (TeS) to assign a trust
   level, or rating, to those who make reports. In general
   reporting spam and issuing revokes for nonspam help your
   rating. Conversely reporting things such as mailing lists
   that a large number of users will have to revoke will hurt
   your rating.

Q: Can I find out what my TeS rating is?

   TeS ratings are not published yet. We might decide to publish
   them in future.

Q: I have a firewall. What ports do I need to open in order for
   Razor2 to work?

   Outgoing TCP port 2703 (Razor2), only.  Previous versions used
   TCP port 7 (echo), but this is no longer used.

Q: I think I found a bug, or there appears to be an error in the code.
   What should i do?

   First, please log a bug on SourceForge, at:

        http://sourceforge.net/projects/razor

   Include the debug output and mail causing it (if you can) as
   well as a brief description (ex: its not spam, but razor
   thinks it is). Capture the debug output like so:

        razor-check  -d mail  > mail.debug
        razor-revoke -d legit > legit.debug

   Additionally, you can send mail to mail@vipul.net and
   razor-testers@lists.sourceforge.net with the same information.

   Also, feel free to look at the source and send in a patch with a
   description of what the patch solves.  Patches submitted
   through the SourceForge patch manager are preferred.

Q: I'm not root, can I install Razor Agents?

   Yes.  You need to specify PREFIX dir during install.

   perl Makefile.pl PREFIX=/home/me/perl5

   then, edit your .cshrc or .tcshrc

   setenv PATH /home/me/perl5/bin:${PATH}
   setenv PERL5LIB /home/me/perl5/lib
   setenv MANPATH /home/me/perl5/man:${MANPATH}

Q: I installed Razor2, it blocks a lot of spam, but spam still gets
   through. What gives?

   Razor2 blocks anywhere between 75-90% of spam for people. It's still
   work in progress and will improve as new signature algorithms are
   introduced and more people join the network.
