Well, it's either an error in the ucspi-tcp documentation or an oversight on my
part. I've never seen any mention of "=>" in that file before. The
documentation on DJB's website doesn't mention it:
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcprules.html
Where did you get that man page? My server doesn't have it and it's not in the
tarball I downloaded for my server (version 0.88).
So since I've never heard of it, spamdyke obviously won't know what to do with
"=>". It'll probably ignore the line as invalid (and log it), but I haven't
tested that.
I should mention that it's probably not worth worrying about what spamdyke will
support in that file -- I'm removing support for it from the next version
following our discussion about spamdyke controlling relaying. The only reason
for spamdyke to read that file was to figure out if it should set the
RELAYCLIENT environment variable. Since we decided spamdyke should never do
that, there's no reason to read the file.
And yes, I am actively working on the next version, which will include
(drumroll...) recipient validation! :)
