Hi Sam, 

many thanks for your help. 

I changed my spamdyke.conf and the smtp-psa like you suggested and it works.
:-))

Mails from our own users are no longer greylisted. 

I also checked the maillog, and I did not find any of the errors you listed.
So you don’t have look for bugs. 

Also using spamdyke for the blacklists has another advantage. I have a few
users in Africa and Indonesia and the rblsmptd kicked them out very often
because their providers often have "bad" IPs. Now the can bypass the
blacklist check. 

I still have a few questions but I start a new thread for them. 


Again Thanks

Greetings from the Black Forrest 

Markus Thüer

You are correct -- authenticated connections should bypass graylisting 
and all other filters. If that isn't working, your users should be 
reporting lots of problems, because their MUAs (e.g. Outlook, 
Thunderbird) won't be able to deliver email to your server -- they'll 
get the graylist rejection message.

First, I would recommend several changes to your configuration. You're 
correct that you can remove rblsmtpd and allow spamdyke to check 
blacklists. This is a better solution because spamdyke will not check 
blacklists for authenticated users (once we fix your authentication 
problem, that is). So you should add the following lines to your 
spamdyke.conf file:
check-dnsrbl=list.dsbl.org
check-dnsrbl=dnsbl.njabl.org
check-dnsrbl=bl.spamcop.net
Changes to spamdyke.conf will take effect as soon as you save the file.

Also, I seem to recall that spamdyke and relaylock don't get along 
perfectly well; spamdyke does better when it runs before relaylock (I 
can't find my notes on this to explain why). Once you remove rblsmtpd 
and move relaylock around, your smtp_psa file should look like this:
service smtp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
disable = no
user = root
instances = UNLIMITED
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = -Rt0 /usr/local/bin/spamdyke -f /etc/spamdyke.conf 
/var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 
/var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw 
/var/qmail/bin/true
}
To force xinetd to reload its configuration, use this command:
killall -HUP xinetd

If those changes don't fix the problem, there are several things you can 
do to troubleshoot it. The fastest way is to look at the maillog file 
(Plesk moves it to /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog). Look for spamdyke 
log entries that start with "DENIED_GRAYLISTED" and also show a username 
after "auth:" at the end of the line. If you find any, that means 
spamdyke saw the authorization but still performed graylisting. That 
would be a bug, so I'll need your help to fix it.

Next, look for spamdyke log entries that start with "DENIED_GRAYLISTED" 
and end with "auth: (unknown)". If the "to:" and "from:" indicate the 
messages are from your users to remote addresses, they probably should 
have authenticated and bypassed graylisting. If the graylist filter 
blocked them anyway, there might be a bug in spamdyke that isn't 
allowing it to snoop on the qmail authentication. If you could turn on 
full logging (with "full-log-dir") and send me the log of a connection 
that authenticated but was graylisted anyway, I would appreciate it.
