Using razor2 with spamassassin

Question

I have installed and configured razor2 according to official doc including editing the v310.pre config file in spamassassin folder.

I ran both of the following commands with success (both indicated razor was present and running correctly):

 #   spamassassin -t -D < message.txt

 #   razor-check -d message.txt

However, I don't see any indication of razor in the headers of new email coming in.

Example:

My question is should I be seeing something like 4.0 RAZOR_SCORE?

and also, are there any special steps i need to take on the following setup:

CentOS CPanel /WHM EXIM w/ spamassassin and Dovecot

Thank you and I will be happy to provide more information if needed.

You need two things for Razor support. You must enable it in Spamassassin. In a standard system, /etc/mail/spamassassin/v310.pre. Make sure that this line is uncommented:

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Razor2

Second, make sure that you have the module installed. The quick way to check is to use perl directly. I also included a sample of a module that I knew did not exist. If you see that error when you try to use Razor2, then you need to install the Razor agent from the RepoForge repo:

# perl -e 'use Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Razor2'
# perl -e 'use Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Razor3'
Can't locate Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Razor3.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

# rpm -qa | grep Razor
perl-Razor-Agent-2.85-1.el5.rf

Finally verify that spamassassin is actually using this module when it loads:

# spamassassin -D < riz.cf 2>&1 | grep Razor
