RAZOR-AGENTS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation RAZOR-AGENTS(1) 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://ra- zor.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 ra- zor-admin(1). See man page for details. You can immediately check spam using razor-check(1). See man page for de- tails. To report spam, an identity must be registered. This is done via "-regis- ter" option to razor-admin(1). After that, razor-report(1) and razor-re- voke(1) will work flawlessly. CONFIGURATION All Razor-Agents share a configuration file. The contents of the configu- ration 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 /usr/local/etc/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 af- ter 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 ra- zor-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.
