Doing this, kind of negates the need for doing it in SpamDyke, except for
maybe a "Backup" in case Qmail doesn't for some reason.
 
I think the problem is, some people don't have a timeoutsmtpd file.  I had
a "Stock" Qmailrocks install that did not have it, and apparently, the
"Default" value used by Qmail if that file is missing is 1200 seconds (20
minutes), which of course is kind of ridiculous.  So, with even a modest
value in SpamDyke of 300 seconds, SpamDyke would occassionally timeout a
connection, and in some cases, I think because of the way SpamDyke
disconnected the session, the sending server didn't realize the message had
been sent.  I belive it is discusses in this thread:

Subject: Re: [spamdyke-users] Timeout problem


I had a problem like this and decided putting the timeout from qmail less
than the timeout from spamdyke, see: 

cat /var/qmail/control/timeoutsmtpd 
240 
grep idle-timeout-secs /var/qmail/control/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf 
idle-timeout-secs = 300 



After that never had problem with the repetition of messages.


2008/4/22 Eric Shubert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


I had a problem receiving a particular email message. It would always send
the same amount of data, then timeout. The same amount of data was
sent/received with timeouts of 60 and 180 seconds.

I logged the message (great little feature of spamdyke btw), and the end
part of the message log always shows:
<HR align="left" SIZE=1 color=black>
<div align="left"><font face="arial"
size="1">14072172</font></div></td></tr></TBODY></TABLE>

After receiving the entire message, I see this portion that was received

Any idea why this would timeout (consistently, like clockwork) with
spamdyke, but not without it? This message timed out all day long with
spamdyke, but was received successfully on the first attempt without
spamdyke. Did spamdyke somehow choke on the last bit?

FWIW, it appears that the entire email was a bit hosed, as the html did not
render properly in the client view (mac mail) once the entire message was
received.
