Re: spamd-setup in crontab
I had the same problem. I found that changing the default timing fixed it. Thousands of OpenBSD default crons hitting openbsd.org at the same time.

traplist.gz file in my daily.local.
That is, my spamd.conf now looks like this:
uatraps:\
:black:\
:msg=Your address %A has sent mail to a ualberta.ca spamtrap\n\
within the last 24 hours:\
:method=file:\

And my daily.local now has this:
echo Getting traplist.gz.
/usr/bin/ftp -o /etc/mail/traplist.gz
http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/traplist.gz
I have a slightly more complicated setup which fetches traplist and
nixspam every two hours:
root's crontab:
# update spamd on :15 every two hours
15 */2 * * * /etc/mail/spamd-setup.sh
spamd-setup.sh:
#!/bin/sh
# sleep 0..15 minutes
/bin/sleep $(($RANDOM / 72))
/usr/local/bin/wget -o /dev/null -NxP /home/ftp/pub/mirrors -nv \
http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/{traplist,nixspam}.gz
/usr/libexec/spamd-setup
Also, china and korea are fetched in daily.local:
# http://www.openbsd.org/spamd/{china,korea}cidr.txt.gz are not mirrored
# regularly, so we use the original source
/usr/local/bin/wget -NxP /home/ftp/pub/mirrors -nv \
http://www.okean.com/{china,korea}cidr.txt
The advantage of using wget(1) (or curl(1) if you like) is that it will
only fetch the file if the timestamp has changed.
