using OpenBSD's spamd on fbsd

hello all,

I'm looking for experiences from others who have been using
OpenBSD's spamd
on FreeBSD.

Is it working well? Has your spam really been less? And what
is your
/usr/local/etc/spamd.conf like?

cheers,

t.

current situation

thanks for the reply. 

documentation isn't the best with the FreeBSD spamd.

I was wondering how it could be logged so I can see if I
have it set up
properly.

I see it in sockstat and I have 9476 addresses blocked. I'm
just trying to
get it logged. in OpenBSD, it's seems to do this in the
/var/log/daemon

Do a "touch /var/log/spamd" and add this to
/etc/syslog.conf

!spamd
*.*                                            
/var/log/spamd

Then "killall -HUP syslogd" to restart syslog.

/PP

In addition to viewing logs ...

You can also run "spamdb" to see the spamd
database

And run pfctl to show your spamd-white tables.
