A long long time ago we had a similar problem. My solution has stayed in place ever since. Cobbled up Q&D but it works. script = okean: #!/bin/sh ftp -o /var/db/china.txt http://www.okean.com/chinacidr.txt ftp -o /var/db/korea.txt http://www.okean.com/koreacidr.txt crontab entry for okean: 26 14 * * * /root/bin/okean part of spamd.conf: 8>< snip-------------------------------------------------------------- # Mirrored from http://www.okean.com/chinacidr.txt china:\ :black:\ :msg="SPAM.

Hints: pick some oddball time for the cronjob, once a day is fine as changes are rare. I use a similar technique for nixspam too. Good enough for you? You're welcome! I think that the people running that site don't realise that it is better for OpenBSD to mirror it than to have us all hitting it daily but you just can't get through to some people..... *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me.
