Hello folks, I've been using Spamdyke for about a week now and I'm loving it, but I'm running into some problems on our server. I'm running Spamdyke 4.0.1 on a Plesk 8.2.0 server (which runs Fedora Core 4) and was able to install and get Spamdyke running just fine. The problem is that our server is experiencing some super high loads and they seem to be related to Spamdyke. More specifically it seems to be related to the fact that in my greylisting folder (/var/qmail/spamdyke/greylist/) there are hundreds of folders called "_none" all nested within eachother. Here's an example of what I'm talking about (with our client's domain name removed)...
/var/qmail/spamdyke/greylist/DOMAINREMOVEDFORPRIVACY.COM/ceceliamoraledewitt/_none/_none/_none/_none/_none/_none/_none That's a very short example, there are tons of instances where /_none/_none/_none/_none/ goes on for over 1000 times (highest I've found so far was 1,412 _none folders nested in a row). This was causing our nightly backup software to freak out as it was having trouble copying such long directories. I managed to get it to ignore my greylist directory during the nightly backups, but today we had a server crash (well, high load causing it to not respond). After the server rebooted, I noticed this when I typed dmesg... spamdyke[5315]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 0000003517773e56 rsp 00007fff11129a28 error 4 spamdyke[9267]: segfault at ffffffff95c1e5e8 rip 00000035177740b2 rsp 00007fff95c1a518 error 4 My greylist directory has 479 domain names listed (we don't actually have that many sites on our server, more like 300 plus many domain aliases), and many of them have this _none/_none/_none problem. When I run a config test the only error I get is... ERROR: Missing qmail-smtpd command But this wasn't keeping spamdyke from working all week. My /etc/spamdyke.conf file is... -------------------- log-level=info tls-level=smtp tls-certificate-file=/var/qmail/control/servercert.pem smtp-auth-level=observe local-domains-file=/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts max-recipients=100 idle-timeout-secs=60 recipient-whitelist-file=/var/qmail/spamdyke/whitelist_recipient [EMAIL PROTECTED] graylist-level=always graylist-dir=/var/qmail/spamdyke/greylist graylist-exception-ip-file=/var/qmail/spamdyke/never_greylist graylist-min-secs=180 graylist-max-secs=604800 sender-blacklist-file=/var/qmail/spamdyke/blacklist_senders recipient-blacklist-file=/var/qmail/spamdyke/blacklist_recipients ip-blacklist-file=/var/qmail/spamdyke/blacklist_ip sender-whitelist-file=/var/qmail/spamdyke/whitelist_sender ip-whitelist-file=/var/qmail/spamdyke/whitelist_ip greeting-delay-secs=5 reject-empty-rdns dns-blacklist-entry=zen.spamhaus.org dns-blacklist-entry=dnsbl.ahbl.org dns-blacklist-entry=bl.spamcop.net reject-missing-sender-mx local-domains-file=/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts --------------------- The [EMAIL PROTECTED] line is due to a client being mailbombed at the moment. I've added their domain to this line temporarily. Any suggestions? If there is any more info I can provide I would be happy to. Is this normal spamdyke behavior? ~ Bob Alanis _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
