The only spamdyke process to appear when I run top is that particular
process. No other process seems to be using that much CPU power.

Log messages... something like this?
[root@our_plesk_server ~]# cat /var/log/messages | grep spamdyke
Oct 25 11:10:51 our_plesk_server kernel: grsec: From XX.XX.XX.XX: process
/usr/local/bin/spamdyke(spamdyke:18211) attached to via ptrace by
/usr/bin/strace[strace:31611] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0, parent
/bin/bash[bash:25024] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0

/bin/bash[bash:25024] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0

This log starts from Oct 21 06:52:10.

I'm a bit unsure about killing it but so far we haven't had any trouble with
running things on our server. Could this be a false reading?

Kind regards,

Koha Choji

Also, stopping qmail won't stop any running spamdyke or qmail-smtpd
processes, it'll only stop new ones from being created.

Are you seeing high CPU usage from all spamdyke processes or just a single
one?  Are you seeing any log messages from this/these high CPU process/es?
It'd be great to see what it's doing with strace but I'm also curious if
another spamdyke process will use high CPU if the existing one is killed.
