Correct. Because spamd takes care of blacklisted IPs and no longer pf.
Yes, but what does that mean? Does spamd keep an internal list of
blacklisted IP addresses
yes
and why is it not in the spamd database in that case (which seems a
natural place for it)? Can I see it somewhere and manipulate it manually?
it's transient fast-changing information, there isn't a lot of point
writing it to disk...
I need to ask a follow-up question here cause I may have completely
misunderstood some basic concept. When I blacklist a host it stay
blacklisted forever... or at least until they come crawling back and beg
me to be removed from the blacklist - there's nothing transiet or
fast-changing about it.
How would I handle the hosts that have been dynamically blacklisted
during the computer's uptime if I have to reboot it? I wouldn't want to
loose those addresses and begin from scratch. The <spamd-white> table is
also dynamically populated but I can save the contents of that table
with pfctl and a cronjob. Is there a mechanism to correctly deal with
this that I have missed?
