as a followup, I looked at the setup, virus scanning is done by simscan
which I believe is done before the hand off to spamdyke, I may be wrong,
but any bounces due to virus detection never get logged by spamdyke as an
attempted connection from what I can tell, and spam filtering is done
after spamdyke hands off the email to qmail, so I'm not sure the time
setting of timeout is affecting this.  This issue also happened when the
timeout setting was set at 10 minutes.

Yes, you are. spamdyke is at the forefront. It's:
spamdyke - qmail-smtp - simscan - spamassassin

 but any bounces due to virus detection never get logged by spamdyke as an
 attempted connection from what I can tell,

All smtp sessions are logged by spamdyke ttbomk. I believe that 
rejections from spamassassin/simscan show as DENIED_OTHER. Technically 
these are rejections, not bounces. Bounces are messages created by a 
mail server after having accepted an email. In the case of spamdyke 
rejections, messages are never accepted so there is never a bounce 
coming from spamdyke. The bounce would come from the sending server back 
to the user.

 and spam filtering is done
 after spamdyke hands off the email to qmail, so I'm not sure the time
 setting of timeout is affecting this.  This issue also happened when the
 timeout setting was set at 10 minutes.

This would seem to indicate that the sending server is timing out, and 
not spamdyke.

You should be aware that the smtp session remains active/open while the 
message is scanned. spamdyke isn't finished with a message until it's 
been processed by simscan and spamassassin. This the period during which 
the sending server *might* be timing out, which would be why the 
spamdyke timeout setting is having no effect.

[spamdyke-users] graylisting and attachment failures

2010-03-10 Thread Greg Cirino
Hello,

Has anybody experienced issues when graylisting a domain and timeouts with
attachments (PDF files in my case)

Here is the scenario,

Remote users sends an email to a local domain user with a pdf attachment

The graylisting kicks in (normal)

After the initial graylist time, the user is allowed, but the email times
out.

I've seen this before from multiple remote sources using qmail and
sendmail servers.

This happens with and without tls, so I'm not sure it's a tls issue,
though I may be wrong.

The log seems to indicate the connection is allowed, and the timestamp on
the timeout log entry is exactly the number of seconds of the idle-timeout
setting.

Not sure if the communication is breaking down or what.

Any ideas or experiences?

best
greg
