I was reading the man spamd
http://man.openbsd.org/spamd

Which was saying

"When a host that is currently greylisted attempts to send mail to a spamtrap 
address, it is blacklisted for 24 hours by adding the host to the spamd 
blacklist <spamd-greytrap>. Spamtrap addresses are added to the /var/db/spamd 
database with the following spamdb(8) command:"

So I'm expecting a spamd-greytrap table

That sounds like the normal and expected behavior, then. Good!

Actually, I don't have that table at all.

The greytrapping parts uses the database, not tables. The thinking is
roughly that it makes sense to have the whitelisted addresses in a table
(spamd-whitelist) for performance, but performance in response towards
grey or trapped hosts is not needed or expected, so the (possibly)
slower database lookup is considered sufficient.
