First start failed: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/obspamlogd start Starting obspamlogd. spamlogd: /var/db/spamd: No such file or directory As there is no documentation: # man obspamlogd No manual entry for obspamlogd I tried to create an empty file: # touch /var/db/spamd But start still fails: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/obspamlogd start Starting obspamlogd. spamlogd: couldn't initialize pcap: Device not configured /usr/local/etc/rc.d/obspamlogd: WARNING: failed to start obspamlogd So please add a link to a HOWTO to the "make install" information output.
sorry for delay. since there is a conflict with spamd from spamassassin the binary was prefixed with ob (for OpenBSD), however manpages are not prefixed pkg info -l spamd | grep man /usr/local/man/man5/spamd.conf.5.gz /usr/local/man/man8/spamd-setup.8.gz /usr/local/man/man8/spamd.8.gz /usr/local/man/man8/spamdb.8.gz /usr/local/man/man8/spamlogd.8.gz # touch /var/db/spamd Not required, the database /var/db/spamd will be created by the first run of spamd. # spamlogd: couldn't initialize pcap: Device not configured Running kldload pflog will solve this issue, not sure why this was not done by the obspamlogd start script in your case since the kldload instructions are in the precmd section and starting should fail with "Unable to kldload pflog module"
