So given that both spamd and sendmail are configured to talk to spamhaus, why
is openbsd 3.7 spamd not blocking connections from these guys ?
Because those addresses are in the XBL, not the SBL. The XBL is populated
by entries from the CBL, which are added when virus-like or worm-like
behavior is detected, and entries are removed at the first request.
Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to try to create a static list
for it, when the SBL list is only updated twice a day anyway.
Of course, you could just go to www.spamhaus.org and read up on how it
works.
