What I do is have a separate whitelist file that has exceptions in it for spamd. Add these two rules to your pf.conf and add a line to the whitelist.txt file that has the ip range of googles servers in it. pf.conf snippet: table <spamd> persist table <spamd-white> persist table <spamd-mywhite> persist file "/root/white.txt" <==add this line rdr pass on $EXT_IF inet proto tcp from <spamd-mywhite> to any port 25 -> 127.0.0.1 port smtp <== add this line rdr pass on $EXT_IF inet proto tcp from <spamd> to any port 25 -> 127.0.0.1 port 8025 rdr pass on $EXT_IF inet proto tcp from !<spamd-white> to any port smtp -> 127.0.0.1 port 8025 /root/whitelist.txt: 216.239.32.0/19 #gmail servers It's a bit of an extreme allowance really... www.dnsstuff.com is good for looking up allocated IP ranges by the way. You should probably have the whitelist somewhere better than the root homedir although it works for me though as I only want root to access and update it. If you make a change to the whitelist file, update the table with: pfctl -t spamd-mywhite -T add -f /root/white.txt Cheers - Nick
