Razor establishes a distributed and constantly updating catalogue +of spam in propagation. This catalogue is used by clients to filter out +known spam. On receiving a spam, a Razor Reporting Agent (run by an end-user +or a troll box) calculates and submits a 20-character unique identification +of the spam (a SHA Digest) to its closest Razor Catalogue Server. The +Catalogue Server echos this signature to other trusted servers after storing +it in its database. Prior to manual processing or transport-level reception, +Razor Filtering Agents (end-users and MTAs) check their incoming mail against +a Catalogue Server and filter out or deny transport in case of a signature +match. Catalogued spam, once identified and reported by a Reporting Agent, +can be blocked out by the rest of the Filtering Agents on the network. + +WWW: http://razor.sourceforge.net/ |
