It seems that my question was not clear. I know what spamd is, I know that it
is a package, connected tot pfSense 1.2.3. About half a year ago I even
installed on my pfSense. But it did not function correctly. So I Uninstalled it.
My question is does it function now? Or do I have to use special hacks to
install it on the actual pfsense 1.2.3?

hello,
On pfsense board I cannnot find out whether spamd is working on pfsense
1.2.3 or not.
Most messages on this topic suggest that it is not working.
I would like to install it, but is it worth the trouble trying? Maybe
special hacks are needed to make it work?
Please help me to get rid of all this messages suggesting that I might need
viagra.

spamd is a program to scan email looking for spam. what part of pfsense
handles email messages? pfsense is a firewall. It deals in packets of
data, not email messages. You need to use spamd with your email client
or MTA, not pfsense.

pfSense does have spamd and it behaves in completely different way than
spamd you use with your mta.
From package description: Tarpits like spamd are fake SMTP servers,
which accept connections but don't deliver mail. Instead, they keep the
connections open and reply very slowly. If the peer is patient enough to
actually complete the SMTP dialogue (which will take ten minutes or
more), the tarpit returns a 'temporary error' code (4xx), which
indicates that the mail could not be delivered successfully and that the
sender should keep the mail in their queue and retry again later.
Very effective if you are not afraid to loose any legitimate e-mail
without being able to restore it from spam.
Evgeny.
