Hi,

I think mail from our company may have been listed in razor. Having
googled a little on checking razor and the possibility of resolving the
issue I've not got much furhter than testing via razor-check.


For example can someone help me understand the output of razor-check -H,
ie:

1.0 e4: KOQdDz58L451g4akrfcPDgthXSQA, ep4: 7542-10
1.0 e8: uNFZFVRwA-4A
1.0 e8: FVW9OG-WA-4A
1.1 e4: 79gYKj8Bv9VDBcS6OuDcKi1axXsA, ep4: 7542-10
1.1 e8: FVW9OG-WUy0A
1.2 e4: WUK1-RYSRgTSHNJXJAUVqa60eC0A, ep4: 7542-10
1.3 e4: dhdlKnsGuKKLx6zOxQZnZaKVVEEA, ep4: 7542-10
1.4 e4: JPPq_hiy3gtLKsfYr-f5l3FR7AEA, ep4: 7542-10


I'd like to be able to understand this so I can undestand better what
mails are being flagged and what I can do about this.


Thanks in advance for any help,

Andy.

Hi Andy,

I had the same issue with our e-mails some time ago.
I posted a message like yours, but I never got an answer ;-) I'm afraid this list is rather dead.

Besides this, I did some research about 'E4' (engine 4) and 'E8' (engine 8).
One of the engines is calculating a hash on (parts of) URL's contained in the e-mail; the other is a calculation on certain parts of the e-mail.

You could add some extra verbosity in some of the perl modules to exactly know which URL/which parts are causing problems.

For me, after some research and some mail server reconfiguration, the problem disappeared:
- I disabled Razor2 checks for the outgoing e-mail flow;
- I'm "revoking" good e-mail (besides "reporting" bad e-mail).

After less than a week Razor2 works nicely again with a very low rate of false positivesÂ…

If you want, you can send me a sample message via a private message.

Good luck.

Stef

Hi Stef,

thanks for your reply. I don't run razor on outbound mails anyway so
I'm going to attempt to revoke some mails and see where that gets us,

cheers Andy.
