spamd + ipfw

Hi,
I decided to try spamd to fight spam but I can't get it working with ipfw.
I put the default config and added only "-m ipfw" to spamd. Of course it listens on port 8025 so I added this rule:
Code: 
ipfw add 100 fwd ${ext_ip},8025 tcp from any to ${ext_ip} 25 in
And I have that:
Code: 
# ps ax |grep spamd
63864  ??  Is     0:00.02 spamd: (ipfw table 1 update) (spamd)
63865  ??  I      0:00.26 spamd: [priv] (greylist) (spamd)
63867  ??  I      0:00.00 spamd: (/var/db/spamd update) (spamd)
This doesn't work...just nothing happens...I don't see anything in /var/log/messages when mails are being sent.
Apparently I need spamlogd but I can't get it running as it requires pflog (I don't have PF enabled at all)
Code: 
# /usr/local/libexec/spamlogd -D -m ipfw
Listening on pflog0 for all interfaces. 
Failed to initialize: 
spamlogd: couldn't initialize pcap: Device not configured
Could you guys give me a hand?
I just want spamd graylisting + ipfw.

cheers
 
Ye. I think it's broken... I tried to get spamd work with ipfw as well
After some time, I just quite trying and switched back to pf (spamd + pf no problem at all)
 
Well, this is not an option for me. I don't want pf.
I'll try to contact the maintainer...will keep you posted.

Hello ,

It is not broken .

Take a look at section 5 from /usr/local/share/doc/spamd/ipfw-spamd.txt about spamd greylisting with ipfw .

Thanks, for pointing this out.
Maybe I should give this hint out as error message in the next version

Hmmm? Are you maintainer or developer of spamd?

maintainer and porter, developers are from OpenBSD but I developed some additions which are sleeping in the OpenBSD PR system (sync for spamdb ...)
 
Code: 
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from table\(1\) to me 25 in
souldn't it be
Code: 
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from table\(1\) to me 25 in keep-state

Hello,

In my opinion better option is the content from the file to be placed in the corresponding manual page(s) for daemons ( spamdb , spamlogd ... ) .
