FYI - limits on spamd-setup when importing blacklists
Playing around with 4.2, and although spamd in grey mode no longer uses <spamd> table, it still choked with a 'malloc' error when I used the CBL list as a file in /etc/mail/spamd.conf Since the CBL list is over 5 million lines, I used split to break it into 1 million line files, getting six files... Then in /etc/mail/spamd.conf I had it loaded as six different blacklists.... and after about 10 minutes it succeeded, and /var/log/daemon shows a heck of a lot of blacklist attempts, so it does have a lot of IPs that are hitting us... although I suspect the CBL list has a lot of legitimate email servers that were responding to a forged FROM that was a spam trap address.... retrieval notes for CBL: ================== /usr/local/bin/rsync rsync://rsync.cbl.abuseat.org/cbl/list.txt \ /tmp/cbl-list.txt.rsync sed -e '/^[0-9]/!d' /tmp/cbl-list.txt.rsync > /tmp/cbl-list.txt wc -l /tmp/cbl-list.txt ===============
