swapped out a spamd host last night and ended up doing some ksh

connected the old host with the new one using the sync (-y & -Y)
options for spamd and spamlogd, and these options are working fine
and are quite neat.
a couple of questions come to mind after having done this:
- is there a better way to migrate a spamd database from one machine
to the other without using scripts like
pfctl -t spamd-white -T show | sed "s/ //g" > spamd-white.clean.txt
(on old host)
for i in `cat spamd-white.clean.txt`; do spamd -a $i; done; (on new
host)
Just copy /var/db/spamd from the old to the new host, so you get all
other
information as well (WHITE, SPAMTRAP, GREY, expire records).
this was going i386 -> sparc64 and spamd kept dying on me once the db
was copied over. probably different binary formats or some such.
