Doug:
Just curious. Does the same problem exist on your OpenBSD boxes? You
can also use lynx if you don't have wget installed.
time lynx -dump http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/traplist.gz > /dev/null

I've been noticing that my systems seem to sometimes hang at "spamd"
during startup. I've been doing some checking and I think it might be
because "spamd-setup" is being run during startup (as well as cronjob).
spamd-setup is taking 20-30 MINUTES to run on each of my servers; yet
a posting on OpenBSD list indicates this should take UNDER 1 MINUTE.
Part of "spamd-setup" downloads current blacklists for blocking spam.
To test download speeds, I tried wget to download the file:
time wget http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/traplist.gz
On Sunday afternoon, I ran wget twice on both servers:
209.205.45.62 - download times: 27sec, 34min
209.205.45.73 - download times: 11min, 3min
Obviously, there is a huge variability in download times. Is there
some network config problem that could be causing these delays?
