First off, the ALTQ lines aren't really so much of an error, since
you're not trying to use altq functionality; don't worry about that.
As for the actual error on line 18, if you review:
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/tables.html
You'll see that the file name should be enclosed in quotes. If that
doesn't fix the error, please post the contents of /etc/pfspammers, so
it can be checked for syntax errors.
