Hi I too noticed the high cpu usage by spamdyke in the 4.0.5 version. Like 6 or 7 spamdyke processes running at 100% cpu on a dual quad-core...
Interesting enough, I noticed not all spamdyke did go 100%, only those that had some kind of attachment, a gif, jpg, a signature, whatever, encoded in base64. The message does finish successfully and life goes on, but I started having some slowdown complaints, and after this first post to the list, I saw I had the same issue. If you strace the process while it is hanging at high cpu, you'll see a lot of Timeouts mixed with reads and writes of what seems to be the content of the base64 attachment. Then I tried changing output from my normal verbose operation to excessive, and enabled full-log-dir, but just as I did that, cpu usage fell down, and clients started getting smtp error messages containing chunks of spamdyke's excessive output. I'm running spamdyke on a rhel5.
