Re: [spamdyke-users] make fails on FBSD

It's related because it explains the meaning of segmentation fault.  
However, it also says that there are only two possibilities -- either 
there's a bug in the program or a hardware problem.  If this error is 
consistent and repeatable at all hours of the day or night, it's not a 
hardware issue.

That leaves a software bug in gcc (because gcc is crashing, not 
spamdyke).  Something about the structure, layout or size of spamdyke's 
code tickles this particular bug but without more information there's no 
way to understand exactly what's happening.  Unfortunately, gcc is one 
of the most complex pieces of software ever created and debugging it is 
not a trivial task (I would rate it beyond monumental -- simply 
recompiling gcc is not for the timid).  Because I can't fix gcc, all I 
can recommend is to contact the gcc authors or to change versions of 
gcc, if possible.

Sorry.

 While reading FBSD FAQ, I chanced upon this. Does it seem related?

One solution: gcc4 from ports.
If your fbsd installation is too old (4.x or 5.x) update it.

Re: [spamdyke-users] DKIM etc.

 Hi,
 
 I agree with Arthur and Bgs in that SPF is a smarter thing to check, 
 because it can be done without checking headers and currently has a much 
 wider disribution base.
 
 IMHO the only way to properly reject DKIM failed mail is at the end of 
 the DATA command, which is exactly how eg. simscan rejects virii or spam 
 mail. So IMHO DKIM verification is something to do for a queue-handler 
 not a frot end smtp handler, that is geared for high performance. (This 
 is based on the assumtion, that spamdyke deals with 99% of the scam with 
 very little cpu time, thus reducing server load and leaving more in 
 depth checks to those mails that slip through spamdyke's already tight web.)

Good thinking, Felix. Some things just don't belong in spamdyke as is.

[spamdyke-users] whitelisting a handful of domains while graylisting others

2008-10-03 Thread Erald Troja
Folks,

is it possible to simply allow immediate delivery
to a handful of domains, while graylisting the rest
to the standard defined graylisting policy?

Seems some folks would rather just get instant
gratification and spam, rather than have a minimal delay
with the extra protection graylisting offers.

I'm not able to pinpoint it in the docs.

I noticed graylist-exception-rdns-dir yet this
seems to apply to remote servers, and we're interested
into the local domains we receive email for.

Thanks.

You need spamdyke =4.0 for this. If I understand correctly, use the
greylist-level=always
in your config, and then be sure that there's no domain directory contained
in the greylist-dir directory.
See http://spamdyke.org/documentation/README.html#GRAYLISTS

Re: [spamdyke-users] whitelisting a handful of domains while graylisting others

2008-10-03 Thread Sam Clippinger
Eric's suggestion will work fine, although you don't need version 4.0 to 
use it -- the previous versions could be configured that way as well.

Another solution is to use spamdyke version 4.0 and create a 
configuration directory (using the config-dir option) for each of the 
recipient domains that want immediate delivery.  In your global config 
file, enable graylisting as normal.  In the configuration directory 
files for the specific domains, disable graylisting.  The advantage of 
this technique is that you can still use 
graylist-level=always-create-dir in the global config file to 
automatically create domain directories as needed.

Either solution will accomplish the same thing.

Re: [spamdyke-users] make fails on FBSD

2008-10-03 Thread Matthew Kettlewell

You can always put a newer version of gcc in a special directory and do 
a custom build with it

this would allow both versions to co-exist.

Matt

 The owner of the server is bit pessimist about upgrading gcc for he
 fears, it might break things especially since the server is a live one.

 What do you think, is it safe? The server simply hosts websites and
 email.
