Thanks David. &nbsp;I will mark you as accepted, but did discover that. :) I appreciate your help. <br />

I'm trying to track down these spamdyke timeout errors. spamdyke accepts the message and about a minute later, I get a spamdyke timeout. I am wondering how to tie to the /var/qmail/control/timeout<wbr />connect (or timeoutremote) &nbsp;I had excessive logging inplace, but didn't seem to help much, though I did learn alot. Do you have any other pointers?

I'm trying to block tlds in spamdyke. I've seen that you could block @pw &nbsp;(in the example they give in the forums) &nbsp;which would block <br />
.pw or @pw &nbsp;- which I assume could include @pw.com. &nbsp;I don't want to block @pw.com just the TLD<br />
<br />
I have setup the blacklist file and I am tried adding just <br />
<br />
.science<br />
<br />
then I tried adding<br />
<br />
@.science<br />
<br />
but they are still getting through. I didn't know if anyone could shed any more light on this.

Spamdyke

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Email Software

Various techniques are used to prevent email spam (unsolicited bulk email). No technique is a complete solution to the spam problem, and each has trade-offs between incorrectly rejecting legitimate email (false positives) vs. not rejecting all spam (false negatives) - and the associated costs in time and effort. Anti-spam techniques can be broken into four broad categories: those that require actions by individuals, those that can be automated by email administrators, those that can be automated by email senders and those employed by researchers and law enforcement officials.
