Spamd not working as expected
-
You need to be more patient with it. When you first start up spamd the first time, all your connections are going to be greylisted for a while and for a short while all email will take forever to pass through your spam filter. If you require a scenario where inbound mail from a new sender gets to you instantly, then this filter will not be appropriate for you.
We started spamd in production on a Friday and by Monday most major senders were getting through without difficulty. Obviously sites like gmail are a problem because they have so many ranges of IPs that send emails, but even this isn't a huge burden.
Also keep in mind that the spamd package isn't finished yet. There are a number of issues which have been reported to the developer and we're waiting for those fixes.

I just have seen that the whole port 25 systemwide is blocked when you install this package.
This should not be done if you ask me.
-
then you have misconfigured spamd. Port 25 is not blocked.

When you install the package, you can't telnet your mailservers behind it anymore on port 25, at least that is what happened.
Is the WAN IP becoming your MX record and it will always forward mails to the $mailservers ?
It's kinda confusing and it should be nicer, I think, when this could be used as AntiSpam Proxy.

If you're NATing traffic to your mail server, you should already have your pfSense WAN (or a virtual IP address for a 1:1 NAT) set up as the MX record. We have spamd set up and working wonderfully. Many others have this system up and working. It's really not that hard.

True, but itś not going to work for a transparent bridge, or you have to use bridging and natting on the same time.

heh, no spamd doesn't work with bridging, that's your issue.

Yep, bridging should be nice :)

Patches accepted. I have no intention of supporting this without a bounty.

I see what I can do here.
As I don't need it that much directly, but thought it was nice to check this out, I don't need it with a bounty, but maybe someone else.
I will look for a patch too.
