Purpose of spamd-setup in greylisting mode?

2008-08-12 Thread Morgan Wesström
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

Hi Nick, I highly appreciate your detailed report about your experiences with RAID systems. That was cool. Surely I don't expect any miracles from RAID anymore. The current plan is to move to a ramdisk based system to get rid of disk access afap, and to use carp to setup a fallback host.

Does this somehow has to do with the fdescfs filesystem that has to be mounted? Are you by any chance using this on a non-OpenBSD OS? Yes, FreeBSD. I remember when I upgraded spamd once during it's 3.x era, it suddenly started to complain about missing fdescfs and refused to start so I had
