I also don't like the name spamd. But others suggested that spamd is more
than just for "pf". As far as I know, it can be used via inetd too. And
also another suggested tarpitd as the name.

What about tarpitd?

mail-tarpitd? mailtarpitd?

spamdeferrald?

smtp-deferall-daemon?

smtp-tarpitd?

Just trying to brainstorm for a good name ...
