As a side note on this thread... I've not applied the patch on my boxes yes, just haven't had the time. I've just run the script that was provided every couple days, and that cleared the hung process.
However, I have noticed something interesting. I used to have to run it every couple days. Since this patch came out, I'm not having any hung processes, or very few. I'm looking at MRTG graphs of SMTP processes, which use to grow pretty regularly, but over the last two weeks, they've stopped. It makes me wonder if this wasn't either something the spammers had figured out was a "Flaw" in Spamdyke, and were exploiting it, or if whoever was doing it simply got banned/dropped, or got a life. Anyway, I'll apply the patch when I get a chance, just thought it was interesting that the "Need" for the patch seems to have passed.... Michael J.
