How do you find Razor? I am currently not using it because I don't trust 
other people to not wrongly classify things such as weekly whats on at the
cinema type mailings etc and I am too lazy to add it to my spam assassin
checks (and configure spam assassin to run directly on incoming mail rather
than through procmail). Does using razor increase false positives?
