Except razor supports 'fuzzy' hashes and strips some bits of the email that
look like random garbage before computing hashes... This is why it works
even for emails with some random bits...


Does that include stuff where it doesn't just look like random garbage? For example the confirm message for amavis-tech looks something like this

******************************

AMaViS-tech -- confirmation of subscription -- request 366023

We have received a request from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for subscription of
your email address, <hamish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, to the
amavis-tech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list. To confirm the
request, please send a message to
amavis-tech-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and either:

- maintain the subject line as is (the reply's additional "Re:" is
ok),

- or include the following line - and only the following line - in the
message body:
confirm 366023
**************************

(With some more bits below that doesn't look like it changes).

Does it strip IP's and email addresses? As well as the confirm numbers?

Regards,
Adam
