If that fails the existing local nixspam file is used.
crontab: 31 * * * * /root/bin/nixpix nixpix: #!/bin/sh cd /root/data rm -f nixspam ftp http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/nixspam.gz if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then gunzip nixspam.gz cut -d " " -f 1 nixspam >/var/db/nixspam fi exit spamd.conf: (relevant lines only) # Nixspam recent sources list. # :method=http:\ # :file=www.openbsd.org/spamd/nixspam.gz # Mirrored from http://www.heise.de/ix/nixspam nixspam:\ :black:\ :msg="Your address %A is in the nixspam list\n\ See http://www.heise.de/ix/nixspam/dnsbl_en/ for details":\ :method=file:\ :file=/var/db/nixspam My guess is that it's better to have a stale nixspam file than none.
