If you used the spamd port, it should have gave the
following message:

In order to use spamd greylisting feature you have to have a
mounted fdescfs(5)
at /dev/fd.  This is done by adding:

        fdescfs /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0

to /etc/fstab.  You may need either a customised kernel, or
kldload the 
fdescfs kernel module.
