It seems normal enough. What I and some others have done in addition is to add a whitelist that bypasses spamd altogether. Into that whitelist goes gmail (host -ttxt gmail.com) and other large providers using pools for outgoing mail.
Good point.
If you are concerned about the entries that you saw whitelisted, have you checked where the mail went that they sent? If this is wholly your domain then you should be able to easily see that. If you can't look (because it's other people's mail) then you can still ask around and see if people have been getting spam.
I've not had a chance to examine where the white listed hosts were trying to send to (yet). I have yet to run sendmail to accept incoming mail. However, while monitoring the output from spamdb, I did noticed most "to" addresses for the GREY trapped hosts were bogus recipients.
Also, though spamd works GREAT, it is what it is. As I mentioned above, it will not stop spam from real mail servers, whether open relays or spam house servers. You may get to the point where you do want to add
I see your point about open relays and such. Thanks for your input! --patrick
