Installing and configuring spamd

There are minor changes for subsequent versions of OpenBSD. First, the greylisting is on by default. That means that, in /etc/rc.conf, you don't have to throw the -G switch in the list of spamd's parameters. Also, the default /etc/spamd.conf no longer points to the now-defunct SPEWS (it points elsewhere now). Other than that, it's the same on OpenBSD 4.1. A month and a half ago, I implemented this on 4.1 for a friend, using 3Com 3C905's instead of Intel EtherExpress cards, and everything transferred over. All I had to do in /etc/pf.conf was change the aliases for fxp0 and fxp1 to xl0 and xl1, respectively. Worked like a champ. And my friend is very happy with the reduction in spam.

I haven't yet tried it on 4.2 (released this month), but I'd expect it to work the same.

Other than that, I didn't have to make any other changes.
