[spamdyke-users] TCP Read Error

2007-11-14 Thread Joe Nelson
I've had an interesting issue recently where I've been unable to
receive emails from a particular email server.  Unfortunately it's a
state email server that many of my users receive email from.  They've
all reported the following error: 420 TCP Read Error.  The server is
at 168.180.96.58.  I've verified that I can telnet to port 25 from my
mail server so I know that there's no firewall blocking going on.
I've whitelisted their IP address just to see if that will bypass
anything in Spamdyke but users are still reporting the 420 TCP Read
Error message.  Is this something that others have seen?  If so, where
should I start looking for a solution?

Here's my spamdyke.conf for reference:

log-level=3
local-domains-file=/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts

Well, 420 TCP Read Error is not a spamdyke error message.  The remote 
server seems to be running Novell GroupWise -- Google says this error is 
caused by a slow/flaky connection between the GWIA server and the internet.

The only way I can imagine spamdyke being responsible is if you're 
running a version earlier than 3.0.0, before I implemented the multibyte 
writes.  I can only think of three ways to try to troubleshoot this. 
First, you could turn on full logging in spamdyke to see what happens 
when these messages come in.  If that doesn't work, you could use a 
packet sniffer instead.  Lastly, you could remove spamdyke entirely to 
see if the errors stop.
