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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuiXlkACgkQ2Wsi8zS6m/fRTwCffejs7tSwYylSzoj0NmLH2j5G l3AAoLeQGZeUA3g68nFkd954MxXClvE2 =UrnK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
