You'd probably better look in places like NANAE, NANAS, or look the
blocks up in DNSBLs like spamcop's, than to ask here about spamfloods.

I don't know enough about spamd to comment in any detail. One doesn't
need to store that much data (ip, timestamp, maybe some flags, database
overhead) so multiply the size of the netblocks (2^14+2^11) with the
record size, and you have an estimate of the database size. It's
probably possible to fill the disk... eventually, given enough IPAs in
the database. It might be worth a look at what record size it uses.
