Spamdyke was deployed on my systems about 2 days ago now. I didn't bother to count the number of _none directories created, but they were nested as Bob described. The way I understand Spamdyke's operation, from reading the documentation, directories should only ever be 4 levels deep, based on the source and destination email address. I suspect this is a bug in Spamdyke, though I haven't spent time in the code to determine exactly where just yet. Fortunately I'm not experiencing it as badly as Bob describes, though I expect that would be because I have fewer users on my system, around 1,000 or so. /BAK/ > ~ Bob Alanis > > > > nightduke wrote: >> Wipe seems to delete faster... >> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=804 >> >> 2008/7/28 nightduke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> >>> Well stop the mail server... >>> >>> create a new graylist >>> add domains >>> rename old greylistold >>> create a cron job to remove greylistold this midnight i will take >>> hours... >>> Try secure delete seems to delete faster...support recursive >>> directorys... >>> >>> http://pnboy.pinguix.com/my_packages/zenwalk/secure_delete/3.1/ >>> secure_delete-3.1-i486-54.1.tgz >>> >>> Regards >>> >>> Nightduke >>> >>> >>> >>> 2008/7/28 Bob Alanis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >>> >>>> Thanks Nightduke, >>>> >>>> I can certainly put that domain into a recipient-blacklist- >>>> file.
