[spamdyke-users] Frequent zombie processes related to spamdyke

2009-10-22 Thread Mirko Buffoni
Hi, I read in the mailing list archive that users of previous major version (3) of spamdyke had experienced this behavior. I sometimes find zombie processes (qmail-smtpd) whose parent process is spamdyke. Lately the frequency I'm experiencing this is increasing and now I have at least 2-3

What are the permissions on the copy you made in /bin? On my server, vchkpw is owned by root and is marked setuid. You might need to do the same thing. -- Sam Clippinger Kulkarni Shantanu wrote: * Sam Clippinger s...@silence.org [090929 08:53]: The script you posted did not include any

IPv6 support isn't broken in spamdyke, it's missing altogether. None of my servers use IPv6, so I haven't implemented support for it yet. I guess I'll put that on the list... -- Sam Clippinger Wouter de Geus wrote: Hello, Yesterday I did a new Qmail installation on a machine that has both

Nice piece, Sam. In addition, the OS will likely have cached spamdyke's config file(s) anyhow, so I expect any real performance gain would be negligible. BL to me is that there are a host of other inefficiencies (pardon the pun) that would bring a mail server to its knees long before

After looking into QMT, which has recipient validation built in, I'm not sure Spamdyke really needs it... The implementation in QMT allows for VPOPmail and non-VPOPmail qmail servers to easily validate recipients. If Spamdyke implemented a version based on cdb files, with VPOPmail servers,

Hi Sam - That is a pretty good synopsis of what he is doing. Doesn't he claim to find *any* sought after data in no more than 7 seeks? Maybe I misread that somewhere. :) My take on the below would be that if spamdyke remains a qmail-only spam blocker, then going with a cdb-based database

I'm not sure I understand the problem here. Your users are sending mail to themselves, and authenticating, but that mail is being marked as spam by SpamAssassin? If that's the issue, I don't think spamdyke can solve it -- SpamAssassin needs to be reconfigured. -- Sam Clippinger Jorge

2009-10-22 Thread Sam Clippinger
If these zombie processes stay running for long periods of time (more than a few minutes), you may have found a bug. spamdyke should clean up child processes fairly quickly after they exit, no matter whether the remote server remains connected or not. Is spamdyke logging anything for these

Michael: I know QMT includes recipient validation already, but I would like to add it to spamdyke so it can also be used on non-QMT servers. I know a number of sysmadmen (myself included) who live by the policy Never try to upgrade or patch a working qmail server. It's always been easier
