I'm not familiar with DATAZ at all -- is that part of DJB's "QMTP" protocol? If it involves sending binary data in the SMTP stream, spamdyke will certainly become confused and corrupt the data. spamdyke expects all SMTP data to be sent in RFC 822-style plain text (encoded if necessary).
The binary is probably linked against zlib if your spamdyke includes TLS support. Although spamdyke doesn't use zlib directly, I'm pretty sure the OpenSSL library uses it. -- Sam Clippinger Ben Klang wrote: > Hello List, > > I am seeing some strange behavior from Spamdyke.
