I've found the Razor servers to be *really* unreliable, and I've seen 
posts to that effect on the SpamAssassin mailing list as well.

I still like using the blackhole lists, however.  If you want to do 
this, set $SALocalTestsOnly to zero, and then disable razor checks 
within SA itself.

In /usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf, you'll find a long list of 
tests followed by the score to be assigned for each test.  Any test 
with a score of zero will not be executed, so find the 
"score RAZOR_CHECK" line and change the score to 0.0.
