FYI,
the version on the stable port is old,
it is upto smtp-vilter-1.2.5
http://www.etc.msys.ch/software/smtp-vilter/
I was using monit to restart the port milter-spamd
when it would die about one or two times a week,
I downloaded 1.2.4 and did the make install
- went non standard and set it to use same user as
clamav and to not use sockets...
and monit has never had to restart smtp-vitler

"Changes: PF (packet filter) integration was improved. Reactions on spam,
viruses, and unwanted content can now be specified with a timeout: "react on virus
add to table blacklist for 24 hours".
Using smtp-vilter to harvest IP addresses to redirect bad servers to
spamd. It is working, the maillog shows comments were it deletes IP
addresses from the pf table after 24 hours. The pf table for my modest
mail server seems to be around 1800 - 2400 Ip addresses.
What I did also to take advantage of spamd-setup
was to have cron a simple bourne shell script to save
the vilter pf table to file, and have spamd.conf point to the file
and use spamd-setup to put the vilter table into the spamd table
so spamd would give a custom error message. - just in case
a legitimate server gets on the spamassassin/smtp-vilter
generated blacklist for the pf firewall.
Openbsd 3.9 will likely include the newer version of smtp-vilter
and that will give all another method of feeding spamd at 8025 :)
ps - easy to confuse the spamassassn spamd with Theo's spamd :(
man -s8 spamd
versus
man spamd
