For verification I would like to see the IP addresses it blocks without waiting for an appropriate spam mail. Obviously spamdb doesn't tell. How can I drop an IP address from the blacklist, in case that there is a false positive, and go back to grey- listing? >> And spamd(8) mentions >> spamd-setup only for "blacklist-only" mode. > > No. > You know what I mean: "When spamd is run in default mode, it will greylist connections from new hosts. Depending on its configuration, it may choose to blacklist the host or, if the checks described below are met, eventually whitelist it. When spamd is run in blacklist-only mode, using the -b flag, it will consult a pre-defined set of blacklist addresses to decide whether to tarpit the host or not." The missing part here is the work-together between spamd and spamd- setup in default mode. > >> Where does spamd store the >> information retrieved form spamd-setup?

I had expected that spamd would use spamdb for its blacklists as well. Regards Harri
