Yikes! I don't think that's going to be possible. spamdyke was written
specifically for qmail and makes a lot of assumptions about how qmail works.
For example, the way it controls relaying is by setting an environment variable
that qmail checks, tt reads lots of files from /var/qmail that must be in
qmail's peculiar formats, etc. It's very unlikely any other mail software is
going to work the same way (I would hope not!).
As for running spamdyke in a non-proxying mode that can just evaluate the input
and return a code, it doesn't currently do that either. I'm not sure how well
that would work anyway -- most of spamdyke's filters rely on intercepting the
SMTP protocol before the message actually begins, only one or two filters
examine the message content itself.
I've long wanted to restructure spamdyke to work as a more basic SMTP proxy --
accept an incoming TCP connection and open an outgoing TCP connection, then
forward everything along and cut it off if a filter is tripped. That would let
it work seamlessly with any email server, not just qmail. That would also
provide a chance to rework spamdyke's configuration and remove its dependence
on qmail-specific files. It might even be time to reimplement spamdyke in a
different language (probably Go). Unfortunately my life has changed
dramatically over the last few years and my free time now is measured in (a
small number of) minutes per week and spamdyke development is off the table.
If anyone else is interested in picking up the torch, I'd be happy to help
migrate the project to Github (or similar) and consult if desired.
