Hi,
        I have just recently started using spamdyke and am finding it very 
useful but have a concern with some of the DENIED_SENDER_NO_MX entries 
in the logs.  I'm thinking sometimes spamdyke incorrectly determines 
that there is no MX for a particular domain when in fact there is. 
Below is one such example.

Jun 10 04:47:37 server1 spamdyke[30647]: DENIED_SENDER_NO_MX from: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] origin_ip: 
209.226.175.35 origin_rdns: tomts14-srv.bellnexxia.net auth: (unknown)

but when I execute "dig mx ancochemicals.com" on the same server as 
spamdyke is running I get the following:

server1# dig mx ancochemicals.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> mx ancochemicals.com
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 27206
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 3

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;ancochemicals.com.             IN      MX

;; ANSWER SECTION:
ancochemicals.com.      107910  IN      MX      10 
sf1.capris.net.ancochemicals.com.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
ancochemicals.com.      107910  IN      NS      dns2.capris.net.
ancochemicals.com.      107910  IN      NS      dns3.capris.net.
ancochemicals.com.      107910  IN      NS      dns1.capris.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
dns1.capris.net.        118735  IN      A       204.10.240.130
dns2.capris.net.        118735  IN      A       204.10.240.131
dns3.capris.net.        118735  IN      A       204.10.240.133

        To me the above shows that there does in fact exist a MX record for 
anochemicals.com.  That being sf1.capris.net.ancochemicals.com.  If 
someone can either verify that what I'm thinking is correct or tell me 
why my thinking is wrong that would be appreciated.
        I'm running Spamdyke 3.1.8, FreeBSD 6.0, Plesk 8.0.1 on the server.

Regards,
Shane Bywater
