I do have spamdyke installed, I installed it about three weeks ago.  It's
been doing really well, however I noticed on the report I received on
Saturday, it allowed 96% of the email through, whereas before it was only
allowing about 28%.  I noticed that you and others are recommending placing
my local domains in the blacklist-senders file, however, I don't think I'm
using SMTP-Auth everywhere so I'm concerned that I'll block some of my
users.  What would I have to do to enable SMTP-Auth everywhere?  Must
everyone use the submission port of 587?
