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. |
