Hi Sam, Will that also solve the issue of smtp errors on the client-side? I couldn't find any log for those customers who had those errors, not even in the syslog. I did copy the error tho, if that may be of any help. Can reproduce that anytime too.
And just to correct myself earlier, its not chunks of excessive output, but always the same line: EXCESSIVE(process_config_file()@configuration.c:3610): set configuration option full-log-dir from file /etc/spamdyke.conf, line 69: /path/to/spamdyke/full-log-dir This being the server's reply in the error message at client side.
