Hey Guy, Thanks for setting the stage. Your configuration appears to be similar to qmailrocks, so this should be easy, as I'm very familiar with qmail-toaster (http://qmailtoaster.com) which is also a qmailrocks derivative (although much easier to deal with than QMR). You should indeed get rid of rblsmtpd, because spamdyke will do the same thing for you. Try this for you exec command lines: exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 50000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" \ -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \ /usr/local/bin/spamdyke --config-file /etc/spamdyke.conf \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd mail.myserver.com \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/bin/true 2>&1 I'm not sure why you have mail.myserver.com in there as a parameter to qmail-smtpd. QMT doesn't have that, so keep it in if it works, and you might try removing it if there's still a problem. You'll need a spamdyke configuration file with this setup. In this case, I've specified it as /etc/spamdyke.conf but you can make it whatever suits you. In that file, you should have (among other things): dns-blacklist-entry=sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org that will replace what you had in the run file for spamhaus. If you have any further problems, please post the run file you tried, as well as your spamdyke.conf file. -- -Eric 'shubes' _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list spamdyke-users@spamdyke.org http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
