Here only a short input from my side: I have an forwarding mail server running (catch all for a domain and forward to an external mail address). Since 8th March 2010 spamdyke processes were growing, but no qmail-smtpd defuncs, and I had to kill the old processes manually. All mails causing the idle processes seems to be spams. In spamdyke.conf following option was set to examine SSL communications: tls-certificate-file=/var/qmail/control/servercert.pem Because this server is not use for storing and fetching mails I didn't update the servercert.pem. So this is an old expired certificate! Commenting out "tls-certificate-file" and setting "tls-level=none" seems to prevent these spamdyke processes which never ends. I use the same qmail and vpopmail package on other servers with a valid certificate without problems. So maybe the problem could be here?! I hope this helps a little bit. Currently I have no time for a deeper investigation! best, Hartmut _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
