No argument from me :).  In the meantime could you possibly explain
why this version of spamd.conf intermittently excludes the single
address I've loaded in "myblack" (the /home/jaymo/.relaydb file)?

I'm updating the cbl list with an 'rsync' in my user's crontab 5
minutes before the hour, and saving the file in the location shown
below. spamd-setup is run from root's crontab on the hour. The "test
address" I've stored in .relaydb keeps popping in and out of the spamd
table as evidenced by perusing the result of: 
 pfctl -t spamd -T show > /home/jaymo/addrs.txt
