yes i did this, whenever i see a mail is with DENIED_RBL_MATCH bounce, but tracing them through the logs is bit a pain,

Have you tried something like:
# qmlog -g DENIED_RBL_MATCH -nl smtp | sort -k 6 | less

@400000004b1df18e1c8961bc.s:@400000004b1d283c1d694a0c spamdyke[23866]: DENIED_RBL_MATCH from: validemai...@pcisecurity_xxxxx.org <mailto:[email protected]> to: [email protected] origin_ip: 74.53.136.146 origin_rdns: ruby2.fastnix.com auth: (unknown)

this particular e-mail will be sent from them to our domain periodically, even though it is not listed in spamhaus, still this email has been denied to mydomain user.

As I said in the other email, this appears to be a bug. I'll be interested to see what Sam has to say about this, as nobody else has experienced a bug of this type that I'm aware of. Very peculiar. It's almost as if the IP address is spoofed or somehow incorrect. (Please be sure to include your spamdyke.conf when you post to the spamdyke list)

at present i wil be sending a mail to the above said emailid stating the mail has got rejected and now the domain is allowed to send mail's , please resend the same to [email protected]

but this process is painful, if it is getting delivered to some id's after whitelisting them, i can forward the email to [email protected] and henceforth the mail will not be blocked

is there any other way to do the same?

Perhaps. Check the spamdyke documentation. I seem to recall a testing sort of option that logs what actions would have been taken, but allows email to pass through. I'm not sure off hand if that's been implemented already, or might be an enhancement request.

Those scan times are pretty high, which can contribute to your timeouts.
The "child states" lines would be nice to see, as they give an indication of how many scans you have going at once.

See Jake's video about spamassassin performance tuning for making the simscan working directory a tmpfs (providing you have enough ram).

spamdyke rules or spamassassin rules?

Spamassassin rules (spamdyke doesn't have rules per se). You'll need to look at the message headers to see which rules contribute to the total spam score.
