Hello Zhang!

During yesterdays new installation of iRedMail on Ubuntu 16.04, I noticed that razor and pyzor are not installed.

I used the description on that page to install them:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNew

What isn't it installed by default on Ubuntu machines? Its very easy smile

Background: We receive much spam (Ads for insurances, men health etc..) and these are well detected by pyzor.
I compared detection and checked a sample of these mails via

https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RazorHowToTell

Razor/Pyzor really did make the difference.

Suggestion: Include that software in iRedMail (or at least as an option)

What do you think?

Cheers,
Bernhard

Interesting. smile

The latest version of pyzor is 1.0, released on Dec 10, 2014. No further improvement made in its github repository. Should we continue integrating it?

Re: Suggestion: Integrate razor and pyzor by default

Well, even if the code is from 2014, the online databases seem to be updated (they detected my two very recent spam samples very well). Additionally Ubuntu is describing the installation in their wiki page.

I think every tool which helps to fight spam is welcome.
As far as I know there is still no collaborative type of spam detection in iRedMail so this would be a good and easy thing to implement.
Just my 2 cents - comments welcome smile
