Hi.
I've been using spamd in blacklist only mode for several years in
FreeBSD but gave greylisting a try today and I use version 4.1.2. I've
been studying the OpenBSD man pages as well as FreeBSD's and whatever
information Google turned up. A general reflection is that it's a little
hard to grasp from the man pages how all the components work together
(spamd, spamlogd, spamd-setup, spamdb, pf) especially when you're only
used to blacklisting like I am. But everything seems to be working just
fine now. However, I'm confused about the purpose of spamd-setup in
greylisting mode.
* There is no longer a <spamd> table to fill with blacklisted IP addresses.
* Addresses being whitelisted in spamdb are automatically moved to
<spamd-white> even if I don't run spamd-setup.
* spamdb does NOT get populated with any blacklisted IP addresses when I
run spamd-setup.
So exactly what does spamd-setup do in greylisting mode? Do I need it?
One more question. If I want to blacklist an IP address manually I
assume I use "spamdb -T -a ip-address". That creates a SPAMTRAP record
in the database at least. Is this the same as blacklisting? If it is,
why doesn't the various blacklists in spamd.conf show up here then? How
are those lists handled in greylisting mode?
Thank you.
