Messages with an empty sender address are legal -- they are typically used for bounce messages. Because of that, spamdyke will allow them.
However, messages with empty usernames (e.g. "@example.com") are not legal and should not be allowed. This could indicate a bug in spamdyke... is there any chance you still have the mail log entries that correspond to those addresses? It would be very handy to see what was actually sent with those messages. The incorrect directories are not a problem, they're just out of place. No legitimate deliveries will match those paths, so they won't get in the way. You can delete them or ignore them as you wish. -- Sam Clippinger On 2/12/10 7:32 AM, Hans F.
