I have a different setup.  I do use the submission port does 
authorization only and allows relaying. The smtp port does no 
authorization or relaying (except relaying from ip addresses internal to 
my LAN).  In my setup, spamdyke is only on the smtp port.

In the 25+ years of running a mail server, I've had only two incidents 
where spammers had gotten the password for a user.  They were easily 
detected by scanning the logs and the accounts shut down quickly.
