Timeout errors are usually DNS-related. I suggest installing a caching nameserver on your mail server so DNS queries will happen as fast as possible. You can also try telnetting to port 25 on your mail server while spamdyke is enabled to see how long it takes the greeting banner to appear -- that will probably give a good idea what's causing the delay.
Also, is there a reason you're not running the latest version of spamdyke? I'd strongly recommend it -- there have been many bug fixes (some of them security related) since version 3.1.8. -- Sam Clippinger On Dec 21, 2012, at 2:55 AM, Giuseppe Perna wrote: > Hi all, > some days all clients Outlook 2003 can not send mail for a time-out error. > This problem only applies to Outlook 2003 and when I turned spamdyke. > > I've read that to fix it I have to open the door submission 587. > There are other solutions? > > I found another solution, enter the IP of the sender in the file > "ip-whitelist-file = / etc / spamdyke / whitelist_ip" is working > properly. > > I also tried to enter the domain of the sender and the exact address > of the sender here "sender-whitelist-file = / etc / spamdyke / > whitelist_senders" but does not work. > > you have other suggestions? > > thanks > > my spamdyke: > spamdyke 3.1.8+TLS (C)2007 Sam Clippinger, samc (at) silence (dot) org > http://www.spamdyke.org/ > > spamdyke.conf > > #check-dnsrbl=zombie.dnsbl.sorbs.net > #check-dnsrbl=dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net > #check-dnsrbl=bogons.cymru.com > check-dnsrbl=zen.spamhaus.org > #check-dnsrbl=bl.spamcop.net > #check-dnsrbl=list.dsbl.org > graylist-dir=/var/spamdyke/graylist > graylist-max-secs=2678400 > graylist-min-secs=180 > greeting-delay-secs=5 > idle-timeout-secs=60 > ip-blacklist-file=/etc/spamdyke/blacklist_ip > ip-in-rdns-keyword-file=/etc/spamdyke/blacklist_keywords > ip-whitelist-file=/etc/spamdyke/whitelist_ip > local-domains-file=/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts > local-domains-file=/var/qmail/control/morercpthosts > log-level=2 > log-target=0 > #log-level=verbose > #log-target=stderr > #max-recipients=5 > max-recipients=30 > #policy-url=http://my.policy.explanation.url/ > rdns-blacklist-file=/etc/spamdyke/blacklist_rdns > rdns-whitelist-file=/etc/spamdyke/whitelist_rdns > recipient-blacklist-file=/etc/spamdyke/blacklist_recipients > reject-empty-rdns > #reject-ip-in-cc-rdns > reject-missing-sender-mx > reject-unresolvable-rdns > sender-blacklist-file=/etc/spamdyke/blacklist_senders > sender-whitelist-file=/etc/spamdyke/whitelist_senders > tls-certificate-file=/var/qmail/control/servercert.pem > _______________________________________________ > spamdyke-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users _______________________________________________ spamdyke-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
