It sounds like you've either found a bug or there's something strange 
about your configuration.

Just to clarify: zero-byte graylist files are normal.  They indicate the 
sender has connected once and been blocked but has never returned.  If 
you're seeing lots of zero-byte files, that's good!  It means you're 
probably stopping a lot of spam.

A few questions: When this problem occurs, does _any_ mail get through?  
Are new zero-byte files being created (and never filled) or is spamdyke 
unable to create/write any files at all?  Have you checked to make sure 
you're not out of disk space and/or inodes?  Have you tried 
removing/commenting the "graylist-min-secs" option from your 
configuration file?

More basic questions: What operating system and version are you using?  
Is spamdyke logging any errors?  Have you run spamdyke's "config-test" 
feature to look for problems?  Could you post your configuration file 
and qmail-smtpd "run" file?
