From what you've described, the "ip-blacklist-entry" option in the
configuration directory won't have any effect. That's because if the IP
address is being blacklisted by a line in a file (and referenced using
"ip-blacklist-file"), you can't remove it using "ip-blacklist-entry". In other
words, when you use a line like this:
ip-blacklist-entry=!66.96.
spamdyke looks back through its configuration for a line that exactly matches
this:
ip-blacklist-entry=66.96.
If it finds a matching line, it removes it from the current configuration. If
it doesn't, nothing happens. Since you're using "ip-blacklist-file", nothing
is happening.
However, the "sender-whitelist-entry" option should do the trick. In your
configuration directory, the last part of the path ("mindy") is a file, not a
folder, correct? In other words, the full path to the file is not
"/etc/spamdyke/config.d/_recipient_/biz/choicewireless/_at_/mindy/mindy",
correct? Also make sure you put this in your main spamdyke configuration file:
config-dir=/etc/spamdyke/config.d
Be sure to check is the log entry that says "DENIED_BLACKLIST_IP" -- make sure
the recipient address is _exactly_ "[email protected]" and the sender
address is under the jtwowireless.com domain. The last thing is to check your
logs to make sure spamdyke isn't generating errors.
If everything still looks right, you may have found a bug! In that case, first
try recompiling spamdyke with "excessive" output like this:
./configure --with-excessive-output
make
Replace the spamdyke binary with the new one, then use the "full-log-dir"
option to capture incoming sessions into files. If you can capture one of
these failed connections, the log file should show everything spamdyke is doing
(or not doing) when it decides to reject it. You can send it to me privately
if you don't want to post it on the list.
Good luck!
