spamdyke doesn't use the remote server's IP address in its graylist
filter -- that would wreak havoc with large mail providers with multiple
outbound servers (e.g. AOL, Yahoo!, GMail).
The log messages you sent showed two delivery attempts to the same
recipient in the same connection. Do your logs show any later
redelivery attempts? If so, you may (have) had a permissions problem in
your graylist folder. Now that you've deleted the folder structure, the
permissions should have been reset. If the problem returns, however,
try using the "config-test" feature to check for issues. Do you run a
periodic script to remove old graylist entries? If so, is it possibly
malfunctioning and removing graylist files too quickly? Is there
anything else exotic about your server (e.g. clustered, NFS filesystem,
etc)?
To use a configuration directory to disable graylisting for a specific
recipient, first create a configuration directory:
mkdir -p /etc/spamdyke.d
Then add it to your spamdyke configuration file:
config-dir=/etc/spamdyke.d
Within the directory, create a folder for the recipient:
mkdir -p /etc/spamdyke.d/_recipient_/net/kettlewell/_at_
Create a file for the recipient:
/etc/spamdyke.d/_recipient_/net/kettlewell/_at_/vp
In that file, turn off graylisting:
graylist-level=none
That's it. You could use the same process to change spamdyke's
configuration for the sender instead, if you prefer. You can also do
this for all senders/recipients within a domain instead of specific
addresses.
