Re: n00b spamd/spamdb question
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:11:23 -0500 From: Adam Thompson athom...@athompso.net To: OpenBSD-misc list misc@openbsd.org I've finally started using spamd on a new mail server, and am seeing some results that I don't understand. (I'm also using smtpd(8) now, so this is all new software to me...) That is exciting. spamd and smtpd are excellent imho. I recommend you continue to read the man pages until you have a better understanding of how they work. 1 - spamdb(8) shows nothing but WHITE-listed entries 2 - but spamd(8) (running with -v -G 2:4:864) logs almost every one of those WHITE IP addresses as either being greylisted or blacklisted. Shouldn't those be showing up as BLACK in spamdb, not WHITE ? spamdb(8) indicates 4 different entry types. BLACK is not an entry type. My best guess so far is that I've got the -G passtime too low, and everyone talking to me so far is really aggressive and actually retries correctly...? This server is still only a secondary MX for the domains that get hit with lots of spam, so that's actually plausible. I would recommend using the default spamd values. Cheers.
Re: n00b spamd/spamdb question
Oops. I see that now. Then how do I see what IPs are blacklisted without becoming a human version of spamd-setup(8)? If running spamd in default mode ... 1. spamdb(8), TRAPPED entries. 2. The spamd.conf(5) file is read by spamd-setup(8) to configure blacklists for spamd(8). I am not aware of a way to fetch the blacklist directly from spamd. I believe 'spamd-cfg' services(5) is for sending data only. P.S. The sender does not need to be blacklisted in order to prevent their spam from reaching your smtpd. Check out your /var/log/daemon to monitor connections/activity etc.
Re: Messed-up package dependencies?
So, it seems that upgrading from 5.5-STABLE to -current completely messed-up package dependencies. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html You should ALWAYS use a snapshot as the starting point for running -current. Upgrading by compiling your own source code is not supported. I certainly make something terribly wrong... but what? And is there any way to recover the situation? Where should I start the debugging? Backup your data. Install a Snapshot. Try again. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors P.S. Why do you want to run current?
Patch #10 for 4.8
Patch #10 for 4.8 is missing the path ie. Index: if_sis.c http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/4.8/common/010_sis.patch If you encounter a 'File to patch' issue, you should be able to apply it ok by doing: /usr/src/sys/dev/pci patch -p0 010_sis.patch
