dcc for Debian
--------------

To use DCC, you can either run it from procmail, from spamassassin or within
sendmail by using the milterinterface. To use it with procmail, just put 

    :0fw : /tmp/.lock.dcc.$LOGNAME
    | /usr/bin/dccproc

in your ~/.procmailrc, and extra headers will be added  in the mails 
in your mailbox.

If you want to use it with spamassassin, add 

    use_dcc                 1

to your ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs file. Spamassassin will now perform some
extra online check using one of the public DCC servers.

To use DCC within sendmail, you have to use dccm, which is supplied from the
dcc-milter package. dcc-milter also includes some m4-file for
sendmail-configuration. dcc-milter is now run by default, so please enable it in
/etc/default/dcc-milter.

If you want to whitelist debian mailinglists, please run 
/usr/share/doc/dcc-common/debian-whitelist.sh, copy resulting file
whitelist.debian to /etc/dcc and modify /etc/dcc/whitelist to include
whitelist.debian.

DCC requires open firewall ports 6277 udp for incoming and outgoing. For
further documentation about firewalling please also look at
    http://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/dcc-tree/FAQ.html#firewall-ports
and 
    http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/firewall.html

For further documentation, please read dcc (8) man page.


Default map and id files are located in /usr/share/dcc.
