To my knowledge, that issue was never solved. Dossy Shiobara sent a followup
here:
https://www.mail-archive.com/spamdyke-users@spamdyke.org/msg03208.html
But nothing after that.
Can you tell if your sender has anything in common with what Dossy and Ron
figured out?
If you use spamdyke's "full-log-dir" feature to capture one of these timeouts,
you'll be able to see exactly where the SMTP protocol stops. You should
probably recompile spamdyke with excessive output first so you'll get as much
detail as possible:
./configure --with-excessive-output
make
Then replace your existing spamdyke binary with the new one.
