So if I understand correctly, spamdyke can use spamhaus, and I do see it in my /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf file (uncommented). Which means I don't need the "BLACKLIST=" in my run file, is this correct?
And if I might ask a followup question, it was said in another post that spamdyke allows authenticated users in past spamhaus. Ok, but if spamdyke allows authenticated users in, while using spamhaus, then why do I need port 587? And just out of curiosity, if spamdyke is a more versitile product, allowing my dynamic users to authenticate and send mail on port 25 while also using spamhaus dynamic blocking, why isn't spamdyke installed by default?
