SPAMDB(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual SPAMDB(8)
NAME
spamdb - spamd database tool
SYNOPSIS
spamdb [-adGTt] [keys ...]
DESCRIPTION
spamdb manipulates the spamd database in /var/db/spamd used for spamd(8).
The options are as follows:
-a Add or update the entries for keys. This can be used to
whitelist one or more IP addresses (i.e. circumvent the
greylisting process altogether) by adding all IP addresses as
keys to the spamd database for WHITE entries. If any keys
specified match entries already in the spamd database, spamdb
updates the entry's time last seen to now.
-d Delete entries for keys.
-G Delete the keys as GREY entries. See the GREYTRAPPING section of
spamd(8) for more information. Must be used in conjunction with
the -d option.
-T Add or delete the keys as SPAMTRAP entries. See the GREYTRAPPING
section of spamd(8) for more information. Must be used in
conjunction with the -a or -d option.
-t Add or delete the keys as TRAPPED entries. See the GREYTRAPPING
section of spamd(8) for more information. Must be used in
conjunction with the -a or -d option.
If adding or deleting a SPAMTRAP address (-T), keys should be specified
as email addresses:
[email protected]
Otherwise keys must be numerical IP addresses.
DATABASE OUTPUT FORMAT
If invoked without any options, spamdb lists the contents of the database
in a text format. If one or more keys are specified, only matching
entries will be printed.
For SPAMTRAP entries the format is:
type|mailaddress
where type will be SPAMTRAP and mailaddress will be the email address for
which any connections received by spamd(8) will be blacklisted if mail is
sent to this address.
For TRAPPED entries the format is:
type|ip|expire
where type will be TRAPPED, IP will be the IP address blacklisted due to
hitting a spamtrap, and expire will be when the IP is due to be removed
from the blacklist.
For GREY entries, the format is:
type|source IP|helo|from|to|first|pass|expire|block|pass
For WHITE entries, the format is:
type|source IP|||first|pass|expire|block|pass
The fields are as follows:
type WHITE if whitelisted or GREY if greylisted
source IP IP address the connection originated from
helo what the connecting host sent as identification in the
HELO/EHLO command in the SMTP dialogue
from envelope-from address for GREY (empty for WHITE entries)
to envelope-to address for GREY (empty for WHITE entries)
first time the entry was first seen
pass time the entry passed from being GREY to being WHITE
expire time the entry will expire and be removed from the
database
block number of times a corresponding connection received a
temporary failure from spamd(8)
pass number of times a corresponding connection has been seen
to pass to the real MTA by spamlogd(8)
Note that times are in seconds since the Epoch, in the manner returned by
time(3). Times may be converted to human readable format using:
$ date -r <value>
