However, I now am encountering the same issue on FreeBSD 9.0 with spamlogd. It never reads pflog0. pflogd reads the entries just fine. I set up syslog to log all the spamlogd messages and when spamlogd is started it gives:

It is periodically reading the file as shown by ktrace but always getting back a 0 size return. spamd itself is working just fine. However, the expiration times are not being updated so white entries are timed out way too often. spamlogd used to update them. The rc.conf entries are:

You seem to be logging all the SMTP traffic that passes through pf in
any direction. Which doesn't make a lot of sense to me -- obspamlogd
will see the logged SMTP packets, assume that's valid traffic and add
the hosts to the whitelist. Even if that's the incoming SYN packet from
some dubious mailer trying to inject you full of spam.
You should only log the SYN packets going out of your upstream (egress)
interface for obspamlogd -- that way it immediately whitelists anyone
you send email to, so they can reply without delay due to greylisting.
A good way of doing that is to log SMTP traffic to a separate log
device. eg:
pass log (to pflog1) on $ext_if proto tcp \
from any to any port smtp \
flags S/SA keep state
then in /etc/rc.conf, tell obspamlogd to use pflog1:
obspamlogd_enable="YES"
obspamlogd_flags="-i em0"
obspamlogd_pflog_if="pflog1"
That way you can keep pflog0 for doing the normal packet logging that is
usual with pf -- typically, logging anything that gets dropped by the
firewall -- without getting obspamlogd confused.

Matthew
