      Actually I am not too sure the {} business is correct.  Try changing your alias to $aliasname.    $SBS

      That fixed it :-)

      Need to change the instructions on the settings page and it's all done!

      Thanks for that!

        New changes on their way.  Reinstall in about 5 minutes.

            I have turned on greylisting of connections and tested it from a few clients using Telnet to port 25 on cmd.exe (from Windows).

            From each client it looks like they connection is being treated as blacklisted (blacklisted connections stutter for the entire conversation rtather than the first 109 that greylisted connections do).

            I have also followed the rules and connected (through telnet again to port 25) and then waited for the default 25 minutes before connecting again. I understand that in this case the connecting IP should be whitelisted but it's not, it continues to be chatted to like it's a blacklisted connection (stutter the whole way through the conversation).

            The settings tab has been left at it's default settings with the exception of the NextMTA and greylisting.

            Any suggestions?

              Yeah, /var/db/spamd is not being created.  I am researching it.  Gotta run for the evening but will look into it tomorrow.  If someone beats me to the solution, please post it!

                    Seems to be working so far - will have to wait the obligatory 25 minutes to see if the greys move to the white. However non-blacklisted server are now only being stuttered for 10 second and they are appearing in the SpamD Database tab as grey.

                    Will update you. Fingers crossed.

                      Prior to the release of just an hour or so ago it didn't work. Reinstall the package and greylist tracking should be working.

                        Then you are not running the latest version as i just commited fixes an hour ago.  You have not been loved long time.  Reinstall and long time test again.

                              I think you are not reading us correctly.  The fix was commited ONE hour ago.  So your 5 hour test did NOT include the fix.

                                Greys are moving to Whites and Black's are being blocked … excellent work. Fantastic!

                                The SpamD Database tab is a bit messy and the headers don't correspond with the columns (for example the Attempts column has entries such as 1208560605 in it and what I assume is the real Attempts column has no header and values such as 0 and 1 in it). This doesn't affect the package itself but I thought I would point it out as nothing else is broken :-)

                                Again, good work.

                                  No problem-o.  I need to get my mail account setup shortly and forwarding to do some more tests.  I am definitely not done fixing / improving the package.

                                  Thanks for testing!

                                    I've been composing this message for several hours while fighting fires around here.  Please forgive me if you've fixed some of these things since I started.

                                    Bugs found so far:

                                    Once I added a few traplist entries I noticed that on the SpamD Database tab, the icons for blacklist and spamtrap are not displaying.

                                    spamd.conf:
                                       the symlink needs to be in /usr/local/etc/spamd/ rather than /usr/local/etc.

                                    The SpamD External Sources tab adds entries similar to :

                                    test:
                                               :black:
                                               :msg="you are rejected":
                                               :method=http:
                                               :http:
                                               :file=www.openbsd.org/spamd/traplist.gz:

                                    The documentation does not show the :http: entry.  My edits last night were geared toward removing the ":http:" lines.

                                    Wierd, today I'm not getting the warning message when I start "/usr/local/libexec/spamd -d -v" manually even with those lines.

                                    The all entry seems to be not generating correctly.  This is what is generated:

                                    all:
                                           :whitelist:blacklist:nixspam:uatraps:test:

                                    This is what should be generated, assuming you want "blacklist" to override "whitelist" entries:

                                    all:
                                           :nixspam:whitelist:uatraps:whitelist:test:whitelist:blacklist

                                    If you want "whitelist" to override the "blacklist" entries:

                                    all:
                                           :nixspam:whitelist:uatraps:whitelist:test:whitelist:blacklist:whitelist

                                    I would prefer to rename "whitelist" to something like "local-overrides" or "local-whitelist", and "blacklist" to "local-blacklist", just to avoid confusion when discussing having whitelist "whitelist" override entries in blacklist "blacklist".   Probably not terribly important in the grand scheme of things.

                                      As far as I know every one of these are fixed.  Please reinstall and test again and report back further issues.

                                        I have reinstalled the package: spamd Services 4.3.5

                                        @lambert:

                                        Once I added a few traplist entries I noticed that on the SpamD Database tab, the icons for blacklist and spamtrap are not displaying.

                                        I still don't have icons for blacklist and spamtrap.  I get missing image markers in Safari and the words "blacklist" and "spamtrap" in Firefox, both on OS X 10.5.2.  Maybe you just don't have icons generated for them.

                                        Also missing are the helo/ehlo and datestamp column headers, as was mentioned by someone else earlier.

                                        Clicking the blacklist link does not result in the IP being added to /var/db/blacklist.txt.
                                        Clicking the whitelist link does not result in the IP being added to /var/db/whitelist.txt.

                                        Tried in both browsers.  The link icon dances back and forth when clicked.

                                                   :method=http:
                                                   :http:
                                                   :file=www.openbsd.org/spamd/traplist.gz:

                                        The documentation does not show the :http: entry.

                                        The ":http:" line is still being created.  Seems to do no harm, but from the documentation, I can't see where it is needed/requested to be there.

                                        @lambert:

                                        The all entry seems to be not generating correctly.  This is what is generated:

                                        all:
                                               :whitelist:blacklist:nixspam:uatraps:test:

                                        This is what should be generated, assuming you want "blacklist" to override "whitelist" entries:

                                        all:
                                               :nixspam:whitelist:uatraps:whitelist:test:whitelist:blacklist

                                        If you want "whitelist" to override the "blacklist" entries:

                                        all:
                                               :nixspam:whitelist:uatraps:whitelist:test:whitelist:blacklist:whitelist

                                        I am still seeing the linear list in all as well.

                                          The missing items never existed to begin with.  This thread is concerning bugs for existing features only.

                                          Please take your feature requests to the Bounty thread and they will be dealt with separately very soon.

                                          Now with that said, what are the bugs with the existing features now?
