I didn't check whether the stale file gets removed, but thought about using a different source instead. If spamd(8) could use RBLs in addition to static tables, that would ease the problem, too. So far, I can only use nixspam in my SpamAssassin configuration, which is a bit late. Kind regards, --Toni++

The concept of RBLs aren't in line with the idea that spamd should use little of your resources and many resources for the spammer. Add RBL functionality between spamd and your smtp server, if you need.

That would probably cause issues if the gunzip operation failed - you'd end up with an empty nixspam file. I'd do the same but check the return value of the gunzip operation before overwriting the nixspam file.
