Other spamd errors

I'm seeing this spamd error now in my syslog and I haven't a clue as to what 
it means.  Could someone possibly assist?

Why not?!  They were there when the scores were optimized and accounted for.

Nope, there was more than one.

 From the elusive (Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Razor2) man page:

use_razor2 (0â1)         (default: 1)
     Whether to use Razor2, if it is available.


The setting doesn't control the number of tags.  It simply enables or 
disables Razor checks.  Since it's enabled by default (that is if the 
plugin is enabled of course) you can remove the line if you want -- it's 
  not making a difference to your config.

Same goes for Pyzor and DCC.

Thanks Daryl for this and the info on the tags placement.  I hate being a 
PITA but I've another question regarding Razor checks:

1.5 RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E8_51_100 Razor2 gives engine 8 confidence level
                            above 50%
                            [cf: 100]
 0.5 RAZOR2_CHECK           Listed in Razor2 (http://razor.sf.net/)
 1.5 RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E4_51_100 Razor2 gives engine 4 confidence level
                            above 50%
                            [cf: 100]
 0.5 RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100 Razor2 gives confidence level above 50%
                            [cf: 100]

Why are there so many Razor tags?  I can see that there are two different 
engines being used, but if I remember correctly in 3.0.4 there would only 
be one tag for Razor.  I'd imagine that since I have this in my local.cf
use_razor2              1
that would account for one of the tags?  I assume that this can be removed 
or commented out, since its now a plugin?  If so, would that also apply to 
the use pyzor and DCC in my local.cf?

You'll see this every 200 messages per child (or whatever # you've set 
--max-con-per-child to) when a child is respawned.  It's normal.
