Hi Hans, I did not receive your answer, just got it from the archive now. you're right, the server was unstable/slow and i had hanging SpamDyke processes. Since DNS-resolver is ok, I have a stable server and no hanging processes. Shure, SpamDyke should end processes, even when the resolver doesn't respond in time, but both problems where solved after reconfiguring DNS-cache.
