Agreed, I was looking into how the milter could work, yet wanting to
catch the spam, so this was just to see what it can do.
So that was not meant to be a permanent setup.
Agreed the effort for me to customize a milter is not appropriate for my
needs.
Good advice about considering postfix doing the work of getting IPs for
a firewall table,
Although I have flirted with postfix and dovecot I have clung to long to
sendmail since the middle 90s.
I wonder if those of us insisting on using software that requires macros
just to configure something suffer
from stockholm syndrome..:)
For the moment, I can just remove the milter statement from the sendmail
configuration,
and leave the milter daemonn running.
Later I can remove snf-milter and go back to snf-server
And btw to other readers if they missed this,
if I understand correctly, SNF4SA unlike snf-milter does not include the
server.
It was interesting that snf-milter runs the full server and SNF4SA can
use it.
I am thinking that for a small volume server that has extra resources,
using the milter product to do more than just discard/reject is not a fit.
BTW the SNF4SA has in the first few days made an astounding difference.
No more do I need to make my own custom spamassassin rules
THANK you for your service
Thanks for your input.
I used your mail list rather that email support direct because it was
not urgent and so others could benefit from my emails
I'll pass on my findings on the openbsd and freebsd mail lists also
and I plan to subscribe even though its not been a week yet into the trial.

That's probably not a good way to go. This will cause each message to be
scanned twice. Once by the milter and again by the engine via SNF4SA.
If you want to use SNF4SA then you should turn off the milter and use
SNFServer instead.
