That sounds like something you want to put in a file-based blacklist that spamd-setup reads. I don't think you really want to be removing and re-adding tens of thousands of /var/db/spamd entries from a network-based blacklist once an hour. > How would I handle the hosts that have been dynamically blacklisted > during the computer's uptime if I have to reboot it? Dynamically, what do you mean, by greylisting? They *are* in /var/db/spamd as TRAPPED entries. Same for whitelisted entries (spamd-white).
