Well, I'm not familiar with PopFile, but if it will only function by listening for incoming network connections, it may be very difficult to make it work with spamdyke. At this point, spamdyke will only accept incoming data when started from xinetd or tcpserver and it will only output data by starting child processes.
You could use PopFile to listen for incoming connections on port 25, then setup xinetd/tcpserver to listen for incoming connections on another port. If PopFile passed its incoming data to xinetd/tcpserver (which then started spamdyke), you'd get both filters. Unfortunately, in that scenario, none of spamdyke's rDNS and IP filters would work. spamdyke would think every connection was coming from localhost, because its connections would all be from PopFile. In a future version, I plan to turn spamdyke into a daemon that will function the way PopFile does (listening for incoming connections and opening connections to other ports). That's a few versions away though -- I've got some other stuff I want to add first. -- Sam Clippinger Jeremy Cowgar wrote: > Hello, > > I am currently using SpamDyke and it's working great, however, I was thinking > of combining > the efforts of my mail users in fighting spam that makes it through SpamDyke > and > greylisting using PopFile.
