Fwd: spamd question

[Kasper Haitsma]

Hello,

​Although I have 25 + years of unix/linux experience, this is my first
encounter with OpenBSD.​ I have learned a lot over the past weeks, but the
issue below is puzzling me:

I have a question regarding the differences between spamd-
​sync​
on OpenBSD 5.0 and OpenBSD 5.9.
​ I read this article
<http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20080522211753> ​, but there is
no indication if this applies to my situation or not.


Currently, 2 OpenBSD 5.0 mail-servers sync their spamd entries successfully.
Since these servers need upgrading to OpenBSD 5.9, new servers will be
deployed.
The idea is, to replace them one at a time.

​To get the spamd-synced to a new servers, I added one of them as extra
target (-Y <IP of new host>) to one of the operational hosts.
=====
/etc/rc.conf.local  <5.0-1>

spamd_flags="-4 -G25:4:864 -h <5.0-1> -l127.0.0.1 -n \"Sendmail
8.11.4/8.11.1\" -S10 -s1 -v -w1 -y bnx0 -Y <IP of 5.0-2> -Y <IP of 5.9-1>"
spamd_black=NO
spamlogd_flags="-I -i lo0"

/etc/rc.conf.local  <5.9-1>

spamd_black=NO
spamd_flags="-4 -G25:4:864 -h <5.9-1> -l127.0.0.1 -n \"Sendmail
8.11.4/8.11.1\" -S10 -s1 -v -w1 -y bge1 -Y <IP of 5.0-1>"
spamlogd_flags="-I -i lo0"

​host <5.0-1> is successfully ​sending spamd-sync packets to host <5.9-1>
