There is a sample script for deleting old spamdyke graylist files in the spamdyke FAQ. It works on Linux -- you may need to adjust it slightly if you're using a different OS.

As for deleting folders for nonexistent users... I'm open to suggestions. I want to eventually extend spamdyke to reject email to invalid addresses but I have a problem. How can you tell if an address is invalid? I haven't studied this question closely yet, so I don't have a good answer.


You could start your studies by analyzing this patch: http://qmail.jms1.net/patches/validrcptto.cdb.shtml

More generally i think it's not a job of spamdyke to understand HOW create the valid address list, it's job is only to consult a list and deny or allow accordingly. For example in the link i provide to you there is a script which generates a list of email by simply grepping stuff on vpopmail dirs . Once spamdyke has determined if an address is not valid, it must return an smtp error code to the connecting client, telling him something like "no such user here" or something like that .

I think you could create the list as a dir structure like the ones for greylist of blacklist .
An ascii file is not  so fast  for a large userbase .

This is my 2 cents

Have fun,
Davide
