Something is wrong with the permissions on your graylist folders. spamdyke is not able to see that files exist or it's not able to tell what type of files they are (i.e. directories or regular files). If the folder permissions look correct, it could be a filesystem problem -- I've had to do some special coding for spamdyke on XFS filesystems in the past. You may be able to get more information about what's happening with spamdyke's "config-test" option.
When the graylist filter encounters errors like this, spamdyke just skips the graylist filter. The message is processed normally, just as if the graylist filter was not enabled. You might receive more spam as a result but you shouldn't lose any email. -- Sam Clippinger Erald Troja wrote: > Greetings folks, > > fairly new to Spamdyke and we're running on a minimal > configuration such as the one below > > log-level=info > graylist-level=always-create-dir > graylist-dir=/var/tmp/spamdyke.graylist.d > graylist-exception-ip-file=/etc/spamdyke/whitelist.conf > ##all will be graylisted for 15 minutes initial attempt > graylist-min-secs=900 > ##whoever passes graylisting can send for 24 hours > graylist-max-secs=86400 > reject-unresolvable-rdns=true > reject-empty-rdns=true > connection-timeout-secs=2400 > idle-timeout-secs=240 > > > OS is centos 4.6 final and we're utilizing Hsphere qmail binaries from > Psoft. > > We're utilizing 1k blocks on /var/tmp to reduce directory size. > > We've noticed error such as the ones below on our maillog which is > a concern. > > mail01 spamdyke[7232]: ERROR: unable to create directory > /var/tmp/spamdyke.graylist.d/domain.com/user/fromdomain.com: File exists > > mail01 spamdyke[24535]: ERROR: cannot write to graylist file > /var/tmp/spamdyke.graylist.d/domain.com/user/fromdomain.com/windsor: Not > a directory > > I've replaced original domains hosted with us with domain.com and > sending party domains with fromdomain.com > > There's plenty of disk space left on the /var/tmp partition. > > 1.Main question is, why might such be caused and how to avoid it? > > 2.Also what is defined in Spamdyke to happen to such email, is it lost, > is it retried or? > > Thanks and blessings to all involved > with Spamdyke > _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
