2005-05-17- describe start up betterJason McIntyre
- note that greylisting does stutter slightly - make clear role of spamdb and spamd.conf - few minor tweaks ok beck@
2005-04-14Make spamd stutter at greylisted connections for a short period before talkingBob Beck
full speed. By default do this for 10 seconds. Many spammers disconnect by then. Adds -S option to select the amount of time greylisted connections will be stuttered at. feedback from jmc@, deraadt@, ok deraadt@
2005-03-11"Greytrapping" for spamd - allow for spamd greylisting to maintainBob Beck
a list of spamtrap destination addresses in the spamd database. When a spamtrap address gets an attempted greylist delivery, blacklist the offending host for a day. Does not affect hosts already whitelisted. ok deraadt@, jmc@, dhartmei@ to get it in so it can be whacked on
2005-01-19clarification; ok beckTheo de Raadt
2004-10-05Change the default passtime to 25 minutes,Bob Beck
MTA's with a quadratic retry schedule have a retry after 26 minutes, and then again after an hour, so this probably makes a lot more sense than the old 30 minute default. ok henning@
2004-10-05change default to 451 for greylisting, thanks to a number ofBob Beck
people on misc, and some observations by Evan harris on the greylisting mailing list that a number of clustered mailers like aol behave better (and retry from the same IP) when they see a 451, but do not when they see a 450 (traditionally used for mailbox lock failure) 450 was the original for spamd, as the default for the tarpit is to encourage quick retries to punish blacklisted smtp servers more. This got carried over to the greylisting implementation, and isnt' really optimal for that case. ok millert@, henning@, todd@
2004-03-16sort options and escape a minus sign;Jason McIntyre
2004-03-15Add -B option, with maxblack limit to limit the number of blacklistBob Beck
connections to something less than maxcon when greylisting. This ensures you don't completely run out of connections tarpitting spammers, and not allow real mail through. ok dhartmei@ millert@

2004-02-26Add -g option for greylisting support for spamd. The greylisting techinqueBob Beck
originates from a paper by Evan Harris which can be found at http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/. This implementation makes spamd allow for non-blacklisted addresses to be treated as "greylisted". where they are tracked in a db file, and whitelisted by addition to a pf table when the same envelope from and to are retried from the same source IP address. Testing by many, ok deraadt@
2004-01-21the example should use 'rdr pass' so that you do not have to open 8025 toTheo de Raadt
the outside world -- in fact 'rdr pass' was designed for this, but once again someone forgot to updated the bloody man page; mcbride ok
2003-10-23- add -v to SYNOPSISJason McIntyre
- new sentence, new line - .Dv for variables - fix .Xr
2003-10-22make logging less verbose by default - default logs connect, disconnectBob Beck
and blacklist matches. Add -v (verbose) flag to allow other detailed logging (subject, body, smtp dialogue, etc.) when it's needed. ok dhartmei@ -> ok deraadt@
2003-09-25- add .Bk/.Ek to SYNOPSISJason McIntyre
- use -offset rather than indenting the actual display - kill unnecessary .Pp
2003-09-24crank max connections to 800 (really, there are poeple doing this)Theo de Raadt
2003-09-03permit the window/receive buffer to be adjustable. default back to systemTed Unangst
default. in reponse to pr3435. ok beck deraadt dhartmei
2003-08-23add -s to specify stuttering delay, set receive buffer size to 1 byteDaniel Hartmeier
(causing a small TCP window size, tying up sender's resources), additional states: keep connection until ten body lines have been received, improved logging through syslog (envelope from/to, From:/To:/Subject: in header, first lines of body) at various levels. ok deraadt@
2003-06-02- remove .Pp's before .ShJason McIntyre
- correct .Xr - .Ox instead of OpenBSD - whitespace between punctuation
