I am not saying Pyzor is not a useful tool. Together with SpamAssassin =
it is extremely valuable even for low traffic mailservers. All I am =
saying is, if you run you own Pyzor server that is _not_ connected to =
the public server(s), it will be of no use to you if you are having low =
traffic.

In order for Pyzor/Razor/DCC to identify a message some other =
user/system must have already seen this particular message and reported =
it to Pyzor/Razor/DCC. Only then will your system benefit. So if you run =
your own server with just a few tousand messages, it will surely filter =
some spam but the first one will make it through Pyzor.

Suggestion: If you run a low-traffic mailserver, use the public =
Razor/DCC/Pyzor servers. If your system is really high-traffic, then run =
your own server if possible but sync your checkums with the public =
servers. I am not sure if/how this works with Pyzor, but there should be =
some way...
