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...

---------------------

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?
