reporting spam to razor/dcc/pyzor

[Chris <cp...@earthlink.net>]

When reporting spam to these sites does it matter whether the message is as 
an attachment?  I have "report_safe" set to 1 in my local.cf.

It doesn't matter as long as the attachment was added by SpamAssassin
and you report it with "spamassassin -r".

       -r, --report
           Report this message as verified spam.  This will sub�
           mit the mail message read from STDIN to various spam-
           blocker databases.  Currently, these are Vipul's Razor
           ( http://razor.sourceforge.net/ ), the Distributed
           Checksum Clearinghouse ( http://www.rhyo�
           lite.com/anti-spam/dcc/ ), and Pyzor (
           http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/ ).

           If the message contains SpamAssassin markup, this will
           be stripped out automatically before submission.  The
           support modules for DCC, Razor and/or Pyzor must be
           installed for spam to be reported to each service.

           The message will also be submitted to SpamAssassin's
           learning systems; currently this is the internal
           Bayesian statistical-filtering system (the BAYES
           rules).   (Note that if you only want to perform sta�
           tistical learning, and do not want to report mail to a
           third-party server, you should use the "sa-learn" com�
           mand directly instead.)
