[spamdyke-users] Does one blacklisted address kill the delivery?

2010-08-21 Thread Angus McIntyre
Apologies if this question has been asked before, or the answer should be obvious. If Spamdyke detects a blacklisted address in the list of recipients, does it kill the entire connection (thus preventing the message being delivered to any recipient), or does it accept the message for the

Apologies in advance for what is undoubtedly going to turn out to be a D'oh! error on my part, but I'm running out of ideas here. I'm trying to block incoming mail from French snowshoe spammer multi-fax.fr, who sends mail from a range of IP addresses and changes domain names every day to try

Watching the logs on my new mail server, I'm having the pleasure of seeing spamdyke knocking lots of incoming spam on the head. In most cases, the incoming messages are getting taken out by RBL_MATCH, SENDER_NO_MX or RDNS_MISSING rules. A lot of the messages would eventually fail anyway because

What log file are those messages from? Are they from '/var/log/maillog'? If so, you might look at /var/log/qmail/smtp/current to see if it offers anything you can use. On my system, spamdyke lines in that log include: origin_ip: 1.2.3.4 so if these attacks cause text to be written to

I think spamdyke implements greylisting by sending a 421 Temporary Failure code on first connection. That might be what's happening here. Greylisting is off by default, but if you have it turned on you could set `graylist-level` to `none` to turn it off. If you want to keep it on but just fix it
