Pierre Lethier, 48, had been wanted by the French authorities since September 2000 on suspicion that he helped illicitly divert Elf funds to secure the company's 1992 acquisition of the eastern German Leuna refinery complex.

This and a variety of other stuff, is showing up in RAZOR2. Whichever fucking asshole out there is reporting some of Fuhrer Rat's cypherpunk mail to RAZOR or any other UE signature repository, needs to stop now.

Oh, I can do better than that - "Whichever fucking asshole is sending me unwanted messages needs to stop now."

Shit, they haven't stopped. Why don't people listen when I boss them around?

Maybe trying to shift responsibility for solving my problems to others via the use of anonymous passive-voice messages (passive-aggressive voice?) isn't a good strategy after all.

Spam databases which aren't designed to cope with false reports and/or differences of opinion about what's spam are doomed. On the way to their doom, they may take some of your inbound mail with them.

The Cloudmark/Vipul's Razor people don't seem interested in describing their trust metric system in a public forum, so it's hard to say much about it beyond "apparently it's not working very well."

You might try "man 5 razor-whitelist" if you don't like having cpunks mail tossed in the trash with the spam.
