Razor false positives

Post by robertboyl »

Hi, everyone

Is anyone else getting several false positives due to Razor? It scores so much and ends up deciding wrongly.

Didnt find how to report false positive to them.

Does anyone know?

Thanks!

I just noticed my results look a bit weird too but it scores SPAM about 66% of the time.

Code: Select all

RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E8_51_100	Razor2 gives engine 8 confidence level above 50%	1.89	72	24	33.3	48	66.7
RAZOR2_CHECK	Listed in Razor2 (http://razor.sf.net/)	0.92	72	24	33.3	48	66.7
RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100	Razor2 gives confidence level above 50%	0.50	72	24	33.3	48	66.7

Thank you, Ovizii. Were you able to check if it does more good than bad?

I saw it contribute quite a bit to cause false positive several times.

And what is really negative it headers are still being added after the message has been analyzed by Razor, so when you run the checksum on the complete message, you won't get the same result as when Razor first analyzed it and thus we tried to report FP with no success.

Thinking of putting score 0 for such rule...

Thanks.
