Ok........ I am still not getting emails from lists.openbsd.org (so please if you reply, cc to me).
I restarted spamd at this time after deleting /var/db/spamd and clearing the bypass tables in pf at this time: 2012-05-26 02:13:12 # /usr/libexec/spamd Here is the last message to make it to sendmail from misc: fgrep from= /var/log/maillog|fgrep owner-misc|tail -1|awk '{print $1,$2,$3}' May 26 01:54:35 The pf rules for spamd I have are taken from the default pf.conf: pass in on egress inet proto tcp from any to any port = 25 flags S/SA rdr-to 127.0.0.1 port 8025 pass in on egress proto tcp from <nospamd> to any port = 25 flags S/SA pass in log on egress proto tcp from <spamd-white> to any port = 25 flags S/SA pass out log on egress proto tcp from any to any port = 25 flags S/S It is currently Sat May 26 12:54:31 EST 201 Times of passed smtp connections for May 26: tcpdump -n -e -ttt -r /var/log/pflog 2>&1|fgrep ".25:"|\ fgrep 'May 26'|awk '{print $3}' 01:14:53.793995 04:17:11.846707 05:00:19.443080 05:15:01.487277 07:17:51.114440 09:35:58.120098 10:14:21.444822 11:53:33.611903 So I will skip the first entry when I grep for the ip addresses, with a tail +2 because it occurred *before* I reset everything. tcpdump -n -e -ttt -r /var/log/pflog 2>&1|fgrep ".25:"|\ fgrep 'May 26'|awk '{print $10}'|tail +2|\ awk -F.
