I can figure out why spamdyke isn working correctly — some features are malfunctioning in strange ways OR Im seeing strange/impossible error messages in my logs. Whats wrong?
Of course, the most likely explanation is a configuration problem. The config-test feature can help find common mistakes. You may also have found a bug in spamdyke. However, occassionally very strange malfunctions/errors are reported that no one is able to explain. In those cases, the culprit often turns out to be low memory. Many qmail installations use DJB’s softlimit program to limit the amount of memory that can be used by a single connection. The limit must allow enough room for spamdyke, qmail and any other filters that have been added. If the limit is too low, the results are often strange behavior instead of the “out of memory” errors you might expect. If you’re seeing strange malfunctions/errors and you suspect memory might be the issue, first try setting it to a ridiculously high value for a short time. If the malfunctions/errors stop, you’ve found the cause. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a good way to determine what the limit should be. Some tutorials recommend 10
