Hello,

I have noticed a lot of TIMEOUT entries in my spamdyke's logfile,  
which after some testing seems just like what Eric described here[1].

I'm using spamdyke 4.0.4 on top of qmail on a plesk 8.6 box, rhel5,  
Dual E5345, 8GB ram.

In my case, I noticed the problem is occuring with only a sender so  
far. The messages from this sender are actually automated messages  
containing some sort of report, sent to me by a postfix server.

Upon some inspection with ngrep, I can see the sender issuing a QUIT,  
which in my limited knowledge flags the message as finished, where my  
mail server would have to reply with its OK status plus queue number.  
That's where the problem resides, something in that message confuses  
spamdyke and it doesn't recognize the QUIT flag. From that point on,  
the connection just stands there idle until the obvious timeout, and  
my qmail then discarding the message.

Changed timeout values from 60s to 600s, to no avail. Currently using  
180s (qmail's value)

Turning spamdyke off makes the message go thru normally.

I'm taking the liberty to mail Sam with my full debug on one of those  
particular messages. If anyone need any more details please ask me and  
I'll try my best to provide those details.

TIA

Arthur Girardi
