Hi,

While revising a certain document I became aware that nixpam shut down permanently
(see https://nixspam.net/). That potentially leaves my greytrapping output
as one of very few suitable choices. Here is a quick patch to fix to spamd.conf
so it will fetch my data which is at least updated once per hour

A possible different option would be to have the openbsd.org mirror my data
instead of the now static since January nixspam file.

All the best,
Peter
