Spamd listings

[Dan Bracci]

I have been using spamd for several months now and love the way it
operates. I am hoping to get SORBS lists working with spamd however I
have talked with the SORBS support directly and they said that the only
way for the list to operate on OpenBSD using spamd is to use rsync to
get the proper files.

They mentioned to me that the format to download the list would be:

rsync://rsync.sorbs.net/combined/dnsbl.sorbs.net /var/mail/

or

rsync rsync.sorbs.net/combined/dnsbl.sorbs.net /var/mail/

I am not sure if that is something that OpenBSD.org would be interested
in providing OpenBSD users, but it would be helpful. Unless spamhaus
has all the information that SORBS has covered then I would just be
doing something that is redundant. From the SORBS site information it
does seem that they have more information overall on potential threat
addresses. Please let me know what you think of this idea.

Thank you,

Was this an rsync service just for you? When I attempt to rsync it I
end up getting a huge long message and then a stalled connection.
Tried from a couple of different places, and tried their US/Canada
site as well.

I'd probably be ok with offereing up some pointers for how
to use ie (i.e. an example in spamd.conf) as well as an ftpable
mirror on ftp.openbsd.org but I need that thing to be reliably
available first.
