Yes, indeed. I'm running Postfix, and MS is running as 'postfix'.

A wise plan that I hadn't thought of... unfortunately, no joy.
The lint runs, I see network traffic, I get:
[31038] dbg: razor2: part=0 engine=4 contested=0 confidence=0
[31038] dbg: razor2: results: spam? 0
[31038] dbg: razor2: results: engine 8, highest cf score: 0

[31038] dbg: info: leaving helper-app run mode

... the above is snipped a bit, but shows Razor, Pyzor and DCC being
run.

Observing this behaviour at home (admittedly in a spamc/spamd setup)
I'd had some thoughts that perhaps the timeouts weren't being defined
properly so all 3 things were timing out before they'd even properly
been started up... however I'm at a bit of a loss here.
