I would start by getting pf running as expected and do some rule  
changing and testing to understand it a bit better and THEN I would  
look at spamd which I found a bit confusing although well worth the  
effort.

My salvation in spamd was a an excellent,common sense write-up by  
Jeremy Chadwick <koitsu at freebsd.org> that you can find at:  
http://jdc.parodius.com/freebsd/openbsd-spamd.txt

You can use Peter´s excellent work from the beginning to get pf going  
or by using the samples in /usr/share/examples/pf

enjoy,
