Has anyone gotten a newer version of OpenBSD's spamd than the one in ports going? I'm cvsupping my ports tree now but since I didn't see an update on the cvs server I'm assuming 3.7 is the latest version. Between OpenBSD 3.7 and 3.8 spamd gained the ability to tarpit or stutter at all connections for a configurable period of time. I understand that stuttering for the first few seconds of the SMTP dialog causes many spammers to go away before even generating a greylisting tuple. It's something I'd like to try and see for myself and it will be fairly easy since my primary MX is behind an OpenBSD firewall. However, my secondary MX is a FreeBSD box with no such protection and I fear that the spammers will just take advantage of the fact that my secondary MX has weaker protections than my primary. -- Chris
