I had the same problem, which I worked around by changing my
spamd.conf to use a local file instead of FTP, and downloading the
traplist.gz file in my daily.local.
That is, my spamd.conf now looks like this:
uatraps:\
:black:\
:msg="Your address %A has sent mail to a ualberta.ca spamtrap\n\
within the last 24 hours":\
:method=file:\
:file=/etc/mail/traplist.gz:
And my daily.local now has this:
echo "Getting traplist.gz."
/usr/bin/ftp -o /etc/mail/traplist.gz http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/traplist.gz
