I had a 4.0 system where this was happening all the time. Back then, everyone said to "update to 4.1!". Well now I'm running 4.2 (stable) and it's happening all over again. I reduced my blacklists from
nixspam:uatraps:china:korea to just uatraps:china:korea and it's still happening. This is what I get on the command line when it (spamd-setup) works: Getting http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/traplist.gz blacklist uatraps 73181 entries Getting http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/chinacidr.txt.gz blacklist china 431 entries Getting http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/koreacidr.txt.gz blacklist korea 270 entries Not very many entries there. Actually, I am noticing that it always works from the command line. It's the cron job that produces the error 50% of the time (every 2nd hour). Cron says: 0 * * * * /usr/libexec/spamd-setup My pf.conf contains: set limit table-entries 200000 My spamd.conf follows: all:\ :uatraps:china:korea: # University of Alberta greytrap hits. # Addresses stay in it for 24 hours from time they misbehave. uatraps:\ :black:\ :msg="Your address %A has sent mail to a ualberta.ca spamtrap\n\ within the last 24 hours":\ :method=http:\ :file=www.openbsd.org/spamd/traplist.gz # Nixspam recent sources list. # Mirrored from http://www.heise.de/ix/nixspam nixspam:\ :black:\ :msg="Your address %A is in the nixspam list\n\ See http://www.heise.de/ix/nixspam/dnsbl_en/ for details":\ :method=http:\ :file=www.openbsd.org/spamd/nixspam.gz # Mirrored from http://www.okean.com/chinacidr.txt china:\ :black:\ :msg="SPAM.
