Well, there's the spamd parts of my PF tutorial[1], and I believe Dan Langille wrote up something for the FreeBSD diary earlier this year - yes, its at [2]. One thing about the blacklisted IP addresses file I generate every hour - spam sending machines don't necessarily stay that way for very long (they get reinstalled, dumped in the river etc) so it's really only useful if your own blacklist gets updated and pruned regularly too. - P [1] http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/ (several formats), spamd parts start at http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/en/spamd.html [2] http://www.freebsddiary.org/pf.php -- Peter N.
