You can find instructions on disabling spamdyke on the wiki page.
I don't think you want to do that though. Your roaming/remote users
should not be blocked by spamdyke if they authenticate successfully.
Spamdyke bypasses all filters for authenticated connections. I'd check
into why authentication is not apparently working.
Did you use qtp-install-spamdyke to install spamdyke?
Which version are you running?

Sure, you have a couple of choices,
- remove spamdyke
- add RDNS exclusions for all the IPs your clients use
Because 587 hasn't come to full acceptance YET, client applications
like Outlook lack the wizard settings to flip this easily. There
are several sites that show how to make these changes, in fact, I
made one myself for my customers. I have over 50 domains and an
average of 30 users per domain. Yes, it's a painful pill to have to
swallow but in a lot of cases you won't have any choice. It's
better to get it over with now. I have also run into a few
broadband providers that block port 25 all together (Comcast &
RCN)! They only allow you to use 25 to their server or you use
587. This is a huge boost for spam prevention because it keeps the
low lifes of the world from putting up a spam server.
