[pfSense Support] spamd package
Hi, I just tried to install spamd today, but it seems to block all my messages. I've waited 25 minutes, and still no mail arrives. I also tried to add some blacklist servers from the openbsd/spamd page, but it seems not to really work. It just kept three entries in the greylist, and nothing else passed into that list, nor anything went through the mailserver I entered as next MTA. When I telnetted into the SMTP port on my WAN side (from another location obviously), the SMTP HELO string came very slowly (but changing the value to '0' for the delay didn't make it faster). Where can I find good info on how to configure it basic... from that point I could maybe tweak a little, but a basic guideline would be great to start with.

Re: [pfSense Support] spamd package
I have been successfully using the spamd package for about 2 weeks at one of my client sites, and it is working wonderfully. It has reduced the amount of spam that the site's email server was receiving from about 15000 per day to about 50 to 75 per day. I configured the package as follows: On the external spam data sources page, I have the following 2 items configured: provider: spamhaus type: blacklist provider method: url url: zen.spamhaus.org provider: uceprotect network type: blacklist provider method: file file: http://wget-mirrors.uceprotect.net/rbldnsd-all/dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net.gz On the white list tab, I have the client's local email server's IP address listed. I left the default configuration on the spamd settings tab. I am having excellent luck with this package running on a pair of firewalls using CARP. I manually replicated my settings on both boxes, and it successfully works during failover (although the settings and spam database don't replicate -- but that's a given with most of the add-on packages). I believe that you may be experiencing problems because you don't have your local email server white listed.

Vaughn, You should re-visit the spamhaus terms of service for their Zen service. It is not free for commercial use as you are apparently doing. Otherwise, thank you for the feedback on the package. -Gary Vaughn L.

Re: [pfSense Support] spamd package
Gary, Thanks for the suggestion. My client is a not-for-profit library. They own the hardware. I provide consulting services/labor. So, I believe that their usage is appropriate. I do not sale pre-configured appliances. Gary Buckmaster wrote: Vaughn, You should re-visit the spamhaus terms of service for their Zen service.

Re: [pfSense Support] spamd package
So you don't config anything in the SpamD settings at all ? The nextMTA shouldn't be your mailserver ?? I tried with and without, but still no mail gets delivered... If I send a mail (from a spamless address), should the mail be visible in the SpamD database ?? And how much time will it take to be delivered in the true mailbox? 25 minutes, or is this a complete other thing here (the greylist I mean) I used to use MDaemon's SPAM (which was quite easy, since it almost works without a hassle), so this is quite a new approach for me...

Re: [pfSense Support] spamd package
What I just come to think of... should I disable the rule of pfsense itself ? I have used pfSense for almost 2 months now, and have opened port 25 in the very beginning... might it be that this open port is still there, and that spamd also has an open port ? I think I have the sitation below, when installing spamd ? WAN -- port25 -- LAN 192.168.10.200 WAN -- port25 -- LOCALHOST -- LAN 192.168.10.200 However, when telnetting into port 25 (with or without spamd) I get the answer of my mailserver (very slow with spamd installed, but I guess that would be that option to disappoint a spammer :) ) Michel Servaes schreef: It still won't react...
