You can, like you said, just wait for a spam and see if the RAZOR2_CHECK
test matches.  You can also log when it does match to syslog by making a
change to your filter.  After this line:

    my($hits, $req, $names, $report) = spam_assassin_check();

Add something like this to log the tests that match each time a message
comes in:

    md_syslog("info", "$MsgID: SA tests that matched: $names");

or to only log a line when razor matches a message:

    md_syslog("info", "$MsgID: this message was found in razor") if $names =~ /RAZOR2_CHECK/;

MIMEDefang uses SpamAssassin and SpamAssassin uses Razor, so
they all act as the user that MIMEDefang runs as.  So, if
yours runs as user "defang", and /home/defang exists, then
look for /home/defang/.razor/razor-agent.log  You can raise or lower the
log level by modifying razor-agent.conf in there.  If you don't have a
razor-agent.conf, you can create one by running this:

su defang -c "razor-admin -create"

If you can't or don't want to do that, you can create a global one by
doing this:

razor-admin -home=/etc/razor -create

Then those files will be in /etc/razor, they'll be used if
/home/defang/.razor doesn't exist.  Make sure that directory is readable
and writeable by defang.  Open up the config file and add "razorhome =
/etc/razor" to it and change logfile from razor-agent.log to
/etc/razor/razor-agent.log (razorhome should take care of that, but it
doesn't...)
