I'm not aware of any delay to scanning caused by spamdyke. There is a greeting-delay parameter (an anti-spam measure) that can be tailored in the configuration file. The stock value that qtp-install-spamdyke sets is 5 seconds. This can be changed to your liking of course.

Besides that, there would be a slight delay for RBL lookups. They're done concurrently instead of serially though, so that delay is minimized, and is certainly no more than rblsmtpd would cause (rblsmtpd should be disabled when spamdyke is installed, because it's redundant).

The big gain with spamdyke is that it rejects messages before they're even sent, which means they're not scanned by clamav or spamassassin. This saves resources (cpu, i/o, bandwidth) big time.

I can't imagine where you might be seeing the delay other than the greeting-delay parameter. Is this what you're referring to?

Yes, indeed, spamdyke is great. Adds like 2 seconds delay to scanning but
it's very ok.
Thanks

Install spamdyke. You won't regret it.
The qtp-install-spamdyke script (part of qmailtoaster-plus) makes it simple.

Is there a way to skip this port 587 thing and make rbl checks skipped even on 25 ?

Hey, if I enable spamhaus relay check even auth smtp users cannot send. Any ideas why ?
I mean rbl check should be skipped if user authentificate

RBL checks are only skipped when the client submits via port 587, regardless of authentication.

If you use spamdyke, then RBL and other checks are bypassed when users are authenticated.
