razor-agents - Use the Razor catalog server to filter spam messages

Description:
Vipul's Razor is a distributed, collaborative, spam detection and filtering
network.  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.
