I wasn't receiving email, from lists.openbsd.org and also from my work email address, until I added the respective smtp servers to the whitelist table in pf.
I could see them in the greylist when I typed spamdb. Yes. I did misunderstand the spamd log entry about deletion. Though I would not bother playing with settings if the expected emails were being received. I will go ahead and flush the spamdb database, and the pf tables and start over with default everything, no whitelist pf entries. This time I will sit on my hands and wait. Maybe I was not being patient enough. When you say I misconfigured my setup, what do you mean? What else is there to spamd other than adding it to rc.conf.local and a few pf rules? As for gmail; I have not had this issue sending email from gmail to spamd. Seriously though, if I have to keep manually adding smtp servers to a whitelist, I will run in blacklist only mode.
