Bug? spamd added 5 identical entries to /etc/crontab
-
I'm just starting to configure spamd on
Out of curiosity, I checked /etc/crontab and found:
If possible do not add items to this file manually.
If you do so, this file must be terminated with a blank line (e.g. new line)
*/120 * * * * root /usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/sbin/spamd-setup
*/120 * * * * root /usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/sbin/spamd-setup
*/120 * * * * root /usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/sbin/spamd-setup
*/120 * * * * root /usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/sbin/spamd-setup
*/120 * * * * root /usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/sbin/spamd-setupIs it intentional that there are 5 identical entries?

Also, everything I read about the FreeBSD port of spamd
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2007/01/18/greylisting-with-pf.html?page=3
http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/en/spamd.setup.htmlsays a file descriptor is created and must be referenced in /etc/fstab. My /etc/fstab has no such reference.

I added a few spamtrap e-mail addresses and wanted to see if they were listed in the db. I got:
spamdb
spamdb: cannot open /var/db/spamd for reading: No such file or directory

Just wondering whether I broke something, or am doing something wrong, or worrying about nothing.

/etc/crontab continues to grow. Now I have 10 identical items.

I connected the previously unplugged WAN interface to the network and now I have zero spamd-setup lines in /etc/crontab. spamd seems to be running Ok.
Hm. I guess the lesson is always to have the WAN interface up when configuring anything.
