Razor

[Roger Jochem]

    [ The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

It's very easy to install...

I found a very easy step-by-step document in doing it at:

http://www.spamassassinbook.com/chapter11_preview.htm

Another good idea that is in that page is the "spamtrap". I made one and am
already getting some spammers (two week after installing)... I'll notify
Razor, Pyzor and DCC with those spammers...
