SPAMD-SETUP(8)          OpenBSD System Manager's Manual         SPAMD-SETUP(8)

NAME
     spamd-setup - parse and load file of spammer addresses

SYNOPSIS
     spamd-setup [-bDdn]

DESCRIPTION
     The spamd-setup utility sends blacklist data to spamd(8), as well as con-
     figuring mail rejection messages for blacklist entries.

     When spamd-setup is run in blacklist only mode, it also sends blacklist
     data to the pf(4) table <spamd>.  The <spamd> table must then be used in
     conjunction with a pf(4) redirection rule to selectively redirect mail
     connections to spamd(8).

     The options are as follows:

     -b      Blacklisting only mode.  Blacklist data is normally stored only
             in spamd(8).  With this flag, data is stored in both spamd(8) and
             pf(4).  Use this flag if spamd(8) is running with the -b flag
             too.

     -D      Daemonize; run spamd-setup in the background.

     -d      Debug mode reports a few pieces of information.

     -n      Dry-run mode.  No data is shipped.

     Lists are specified in the configuration file /etc/mail/spamd.conf and
     are processed in the order specified in the all tag.  Output is concate-
     nated and sent to a running spamd(8).  Addresses are sent along with the
     message spamd will give on mail rejection when a matching client con-
     nects.  The configuration port for spamd(8) is found from services(5), by
     looking for the named service spamd-cfg.

     spamd-setup reads all configuration information from the spamd.conf(5)
     file.

BUGS
     Blacklists removed from /etc/mail/spamd.conf are not automatically re-
     moved from the running spamd(8).  If an entry is removed from
     /etc/mail/spamd.conf that is currently in use, it is necessary to restart
     spamd(8).  This applies only to blacklists that are removed entirely, not
     those that are simply modified.
