pf+spamd's 'verbosity' has gone missing

Fri May 4 16:37:08 UTC 2007

hi,

i've freebsd 6.2-release + pf + spamd installed.

works great.

i've launched spamd as,

  % ps -ax | grep -i spamd
    989  ??  Is     0:01.42 spamd: (pf <spamd-white> update) (spamd)
    990  ??  I      0:00.44 /usr/local/libexec/spamd -v -n ESMTP -r450
-s5 -w1 -c 300 -B 200 -g -G25:4:864 -b 127.0.0.1 -p 8025
    992  ??  I      0:00.01 spamd: (/var/db/spamd update) (spamd)

note the"-v" for 'verbose' logging.

until recently, this output what i'd expect, e.g.,

  Apr 28 14:33:44 router spamd[985]: 218.246.32.43: connected (2/2),
lists: mxblack
  Apr 28 14:37:38 router spamd[985]: (BLACK) 218.246.32.43:

  Apr 28 14:40:05 router spamd[985]: 218.246.32.43: disconnected after
381 seconds. lists: mxblack

where the verbose output includes the "BLACK" & associated smtp dialog.

a few days later, in similar circumstance, i see only,

  May  4 09:03:02 router spamd[990]: 218.246.32.43: connected (1/1),
lists: mxblack
  May  4 09:18:47 router spamd[990]: 218.246.32.43: disconnected after
945 seconds. lists: mxblack

i.e., the verbose output is missing.

clearly i've done something, but, for the life of my i can't figure out what :-/

suggestions as to 'where' my verbose output has wandered off to? happy
to provide any relevant detail, of course ...

thanks!
