NAME

   Razor-Agents - Collection of files for checking, reporting, and
   revoking spam

DESCRIPTION

   Vipul's Razor is a distributed, collaborative, spam detection,
   reporting, and filtering network. The primary focus of the system is to
   identify and remove all email spam from the internet.  Visit the
   website at http://razor.sourceforge.net/.

USAGE

   First a razorhome directory should be created where log, conf, and
   cached server information will live.  This is done via "-create" option
   to razor-admin(1).  See man page for details.

   You can immediately check spam using razor-check(1).  See man page for
   details.

   To report spam, an identity must be registered.  This is done via
   "-register" option to razor-admin(1).  After that, razor-report(1) and
   razor-revoke(1) will work flawlessly.

CONFIGURATION

   All Razor-Agents share a configuration file.  The contents of the
   configuration file are detailed in the razor-agent.conf(5) manpage.

   Config file is computed before razorhome, in the following order:

    -conf=/path/file.conf           used if readable, else
    <home>/.razor/razor-agent.conf  used if readable, else
    /etc/razor/razor-agent.conf     used if readable, else
    all defaults are used.

   To see configuration defaults, do
     razor-admin -create -conf=/tmp/razor2-defaults.conf

RAZORHOME

   All Razor-Agents also share a razorhome directory, where identity,
   logging, and cached information about servers is stored.  Razorhome is
   computed after configuration file, in the following order.

    -home=/tmp/razor/                     used if readable, else
    'razorhome' from configuration file   used if readable, else
    <home>/.razor/                        used if readable, else
    <home>/.razor/                        is created.  if that fails,
                                          no razorhome.

    NOTE: If there is no razorhome, razor-report and razor-revoke will
          not work unless you specify  -ident=/path/identity
          razor-check will still work.

FILES

   Besides those listed at the end with their own manpages, Razor Agents
   also has the following files.

   razorhome/identity
       Usually a symlink to identity file containing user+pass.  Used by
       razor-report(1) and razor-revoke(1).

   razorhome/razor-agent.log
       Default log file.  To change, edit razor-agent.conf(5).

   razorhome/servers.*.lst
       Cached list of Razor Servers.  If more than one, they are ordered
       by closest ping time.

   razorhome/server.<name>.lst
       Cached info for <name> server. The "srl" key in this file is
       compared against the server greeting, and if server's is greater,
       new cache info is retrieved from the server.

EXAMPLES

   razor-check -d -debuglevel=9 mbox
       Checks spam in mbox.  prints numbers for those found to be spam.
       -d logs to stdout, -debuglevel=9 is verbose logging

   razor-admin -create -home=/home/chad/.razor -d -s
       Creates razorhome in /home/chad/.razor, log to stdout, does not
       connect to server (-s simulate).

   razor-report spam -debuglevel=0
       sends spam to server, with no log msgs.
