If I understand your question and read the spamd-setup(8) man page correctly, you may want to try your luck with its '-b' option. Or did I misunderstand your question? Besides that, if spamd and spamd-setup work for you, you can use the spamd table in PF to block access to other targets than SMTP. If you want to use the spamd-setup mechanic but not want the data to end up in spamd (and the spamd table), look at its sources and rework it a bit. > Often there are syntax errors in the lists, sometimes transfers fail. > IOW it's unreliable, and I have to do it manually. If you want to increase reliability of a (vanilla or reworked) spamd-setup succeeding, you can scrape and parse the lists yourself and distribute them locally. You mentioned "that sucks too", though I do not directly see why, other than perhaps the work involved or stale list contents (which can be periodically expired as well). I suspect it's easier to treat the latter reliability concerns as a separate issue rather than work it into spamd-setup, but that's just a personal preference, I suppose.
