I think, that spamdyke is properly detecting the shutdown of qmail-smtpd
pipe, so if spamdyke is not totally stuck (like in the TLS case) it
would close when qmail-smtpd times out. qmail-smtpd's default timeout is
 1200 seconds. That's based on what I recall from several months ago, so
it better be taken with a grain of salt.
