As it copies the message, it computes the DCC checksums for the message, reports them to a DCC server, and adds a header line to the message. Another program such as <B>procmail(1)</B> can use the added header line to filter mail. Dccproc does not support any thresholds of its own, because equivalent effects can be achieved with regular expressions and you can apply dccproc several times using differ- ent DCC servers and then score mail based what all of the DCC servers say. Error messages are sent to stderr as well as the system log. Connect stderr and stdout to the same file to see errors in context, but direct stderr to /dev/null to keep DCC error messages out of the mail. The <B>-i</B> option can also be used to separate the error messages. <B>Dccproc</B> sends reports of checksums related to mail received by DCC clients and queries about the total number of reports of particular checksums. A DCC server receives no mail, address, headers, or other information, but only cryptographically secure checksums of such informa- tion. A DCC server cannot determine the text or other information that corresponds to the checksums it receives. It only acts as a clearing- house of counts of checksums computed by clients. For the sake of privacy for even the checksums of private mail, the checksums of senders of purely internal mail or other mail that is known to not be unsolicited bulk can be listed in a whitelist to not be reported to the DCC server. When <B>sendmail(8)</B> is used, <B><A HREF="dccm.html">dccm(8)</A></B> is a better DCC interface. <B><A HREF="dccifd.html">Dccifd(8)</A></B> is more efficient than <B>dccproc</B> because it is a daemon, but that has costs in complexity. See <B><A HREF="dccsight.html">dccsight(8)</A></B> for a way to use previously computed checksums. <A NAME="OPTIONS"><B>OPTIONS</B></A> The following options are available: <A NAME="OPTION-V"><B>-V</B></A> displays the version of the DCC <B>procmail(1)</B> interface. <A NAME="OPTION-d"><B>-d</B></A> enables debugging output from the DCC client software. Additional <B>-d</B> options increase the number of messages. One causes error mes- sages to be sent to STDERR as well as the system log. <A NAME="OPTION-A"><B>-A</B></A> adds to existing X-DCC headers (if any) of the brand of the current server instead of replacing existing headers. <A NAME="OPTION-Q"><B>-Q</B></A> only queries the DCC server about the checksums of messages instead of reporting and then querying. This is useful when <B>dccproc</B> is used to filter mail that has already been reported to a DCC server by another DCC client such as <B><A HREF="dccm.html">dccm(8)</A></B>. No single mail message should be reported to a DCC server more than once per recipient. It is better to use <I>MXDCC</I> lines in the <B>-w</B> <I>whiteclnt</I> file for your MX mail servers that use DCC than <B>-Q</B> <A NAME="OPTION-C"><B>-C</B></A> outputs only the X-DCC header and the checksums for the message. <A NAME="OPTION-H"><B>-H</B></A> outputs only the X-DCC header. <A NAME="OPTION-E"><B>-E</B></A> adds lines to the start of the log file turned on with <B>-l</B> and <B>-c</B> describing what might have been the envelope of the message. The information for the inferred envelope comes from arguments including <B>-a</B> and headers in the message when <B>-R</B> is used. No lines are gener- ated for which no information is available, such as the envelope recipient. <A NAME="OPTION-R"><B>-R</B></A> says the first Received lines have the standard "helo (name [address])..." format and the address is that of the SMTP client that would otherwise be provided with <B>-a</B>. The <B>-a</B> option should be used if the local SMTP server adds a Received line with some other format or does not add a Received line. Received headers specifying IP addresses marked <I>MX</I> or <I>MXDCC</I> in the <B>-w</B> <I>whiteclnt</I> file are skipped. <A NAME="OPTION-h"><B>-h</B></A> <I>homedir</I> overrides the default DCC home directory, <I>@prefix@</I>. <A NAME="OPTION-m"><B>-m</B></A> <I>map</I> specifies a name or path of the memory mapped parameter file instead of the default <I>map</I> in the DCC home directory. It should be created with the <B>new map</B> operation of the <B><A HREF="cdcc.html">cdcc(8)</A></B> command. <A NAME="OPTION-w"><B>-w</B></A> <I>whiteclnt</I> specifies an optional file containing SMTP client IP addresses and SMTP headers of mail that do not need X-DCC headers and whose check- sums should not be reported to the DCC server. It can also contain checksums of spam. If the pathname is not absolute, it is relative to the DCC home directory. Thus, individual users with private whitelists usually specify them with absolute paths. Common whitelists shared by users must be in the DCC home directory or one of its subdirectories and owned by the set-UID user of <B>dccproc</B>. It is useful to <I>include</I> a common or system-wide whitelist in private lists. Because the contents of the <I>whiteclnt</I> file are used frequently, a companion file is automatically created and maintained. It has the same pathname but with an added suffix of <I>.dccw</I>. It contains a mem- ory mapped hash table of the main file. <I>Option</I> lines can be used to modify many aspects of <B>dccproc</B> filter- ing, as described in the main <B><A HREF="dcc.html">dcc(8)</A></B> man page. For example, an <I>option</I> <I>spam-trap-accept</I> line turns off DCC filtering and reports the message as spam. <A NAME="OPTION-T"><B>-T</B></A> <I>tmpdir</I> changes the default directory for temporary files from the system default. The system default is <I>/tmp</I>. <A NAME="OPTION-a"><B>-a</B></A> <I>IP-address</I> specifies the IP address (not the host name) of the immediately pre- vious SMTP client. It is often not available. <B>-a</B> <I>0.0.0.0</I> is ignored. <B>-a</B>. The <B>-a</B> option should be used instead of <B>-R</B> if the local SMTP server adds a Received line with some other format or does not add a Received line. <A NAME="OPTION-f"><B>-f</B></A> <I>env</I><B>_</B><I>from</I> specifies the RFC 821 envelope "Mail From" value with which the mes- sage arrived. It is often not available. If <B>-f</B> is not present, the contents of the first Return-Path: or UNIX style From_ header is used. The <I>env</I><B>_</B><I>from</I> string is often but need not be bracketed with "<>". <A NAME="OPTION-t"><B>-t</B></A> <I>targets</I> specifies the number of addressees of the message if other than 1. The string <I>many</I> instead of a number asserts that there were too many addressees and that the message is unsolicited bulk email. <A NAME="OPTION-x"><B>-x</B></A> <I>exitcode</I> specifies the code or status with which <B>dccproc</B> exits if the <B>-c</B> thresholds are reached or the <B>-w</B> <I>whiteclnt</I> file blacklists the mes- sage. The default value is EX_NOUSER. EX_NOUSER is 67 on many systems. Use 0 to always exit successfully. <A NAME="OPTION-c"><B>-c</B></A> <I>type,</I>[<I>log-thold,</I>]<I>rej-thold</I> sets logging and "spam" thresholds for checksum <I>type</I>. The checksum types are <I>IP</I>, <I>env</I><B>_</B><I>From</I>, <I>From</I>, <I>Message-ID</I>, <I>substitute</I>, <I>Received</I>, <I>Body</I>, <I>Fuz1</I>, <I>Fuz2</I>, <I>rep-total</I>, and <I>rep</I>. The first six, <I>IP</I> through <I>substitute</I>, have no effect except when a local DCC server configured with <B>-K</B> is used. The <I>substitute</I> thresholds apply to the first sub- stitute heading encountered in the mail message. The string <I>ALL</I> sets thresholds for all types, but is unlikely to be useful except for setting logging thresholds. The string <I>CMN</I> specifies the com- monly used checksums <I>Body</I>, <I>Fuz1</I>, and <I>Fuz2</I>. <I>Rej-thold</I> and <I>log-thold</I> must be numbers, the string <I>NEVER</I>, or the string <I>MANY</I> indicating millions of targets. Counts from the DCC server as large as the threshold for any single type are taken as sufficient evidence that the message should be logged or rejected. <I>Log-thold</I> is the threshold at which messages are logged. It can be handy to log messages at a lower threshold to find solicited bulk mail sources such as mailing lists. If no logging threshold is set, only rejected mail and messages with complicated combinations of white and blacklisting are logged. Messages that reach at least one of their rejection thresholds are logged regardless of logging thresholds. <I>Rej-thold</I> is the threshold at which messages are considered "bulk," and so should be rejected or discarded if not whitelisted. DCC Reputation thresholds in the commercial version of the DCC are controlled by thresholds on checksum types <I>rep</I> and <I>rep-total</I>. Mes- sages from an IP address that the DCC database says has sent more than <B>-t</B> <I>rep-total,log-thold</I> messages are logged. A DCC Reputation is computed for messages received from IP addresses that have sent more than <B>-t</B> <I>rep-total,log-thold</I> messages. The DCC Reputation of an IP address is the percentage of its messages that have been detected as bulk or having at least 10 recipients. The defaults are equiva- lent to <B>-t</B> <I>rep,never</I> and <B>-t</B> <I>rep-total,never,20</I>. Bad DCC Reputations do not reject mail unless enabled by an <I>option</I> <I>DCC-rep-on</I> line in a <I>whiteclnt</I> file. The checksums of locally whitelisted messages are not checked with the DCC server and so only the number of targets of the current copy of a whitelisted message are compared against the thresholds. The default is <I>ALL,NEVER</I>, so that nothing is discarded, rejected, or logged. A common choice is <I>CMN,25,50</I> to reject or discard mail with common bodies except as overridden by the whitelist of the DCC server, the sendmail <I>${dcc</I><B>_</B><I>isspam}</I> and <I>${dcc</I><B>_</B><I>notspam}</I> macros, and <B>-g</B>, and <B>-w</B>. <A NAME="OPTION-g"><B>-g</B></A> [<I>not-</I>]<I>type</I> indicates that whitelisted, <I>OK</I> or <I>OK2</I>, counts from the DCC server for a type of checksum are to be believed. They should be ignored if prefixed with <I>not-</I>. <I>Type</I> is one of the same set of strings as for <B>-c</B>. Only <I>IP</I>, <I>env</I><B>_</B><I>From</I>, and <I>From</I> are likely choices. By default all three are honored, and hence the need for <I>not-</I>. <A NAME="OPTION-S"><B>-S</B></A> <I>hdr</I> adds to the list of substitute or locally chosen headers that are checked with the <B>-w</B> <I>whiteclnt</I> file and sent to the DCC server. The checksum of the last header of type <I>hdr</I> found in the message is checked. As many as 6 different substitute headers can be speci- fied, but only the checksum of the first of the 6 will be sent to the DCC server. <A NAME="OPTION-i"><B>-i</B></A> <I>infile</I> specifies an input file for the entire message instead of standard input. If not absolute, the pathname is interpreted relative to the directory in which <B>dccproc</B> was started. <A NAME="OPTION-o"><B>-o</B></A> <I>outfile</I> specifies an output file for the entire message including headers instead of standard output. If not absolute, the pathname is inter- preted relative to the directory in which <B>dccproc</B> was started. <A NAME="OPTION-l"><B>-l</B></A> <I>logdir</I> specifies a directory for copies of messages whose checksum target counts exceed <B>-c</B> thresholds. The format of each file is affected by <B>-E</B>. See the FILES section below concerning the contents of the files. See also the <I>option</I> <I>log-subdirectory-{day,hour,minute}</I> lines in <I>whiteclnt</I> files described in <B><A HREF="dcc.html">dcc(8)</A></B>. The directory is relative to the DCC home directory if it is not absolute <A NAME="OPTION-B"><B>-B</B></A> <I>dnsbl-option</I> enables DNS blacklist checks of the SMTP client IP address, SMTP envelope Mail_From sender domain name, and of host names in URLs in the message body. Body URL blacklisting has too many false posi- tives to use on abuse mailboxes. It is less effective than greylisting with <B><A HREF="dccm.html">dccm(8)</A></B> or <B><A HREF="dccifd.html">dccifd(8)</A></B> but can be useful in situa- tions where greylisting cannot be used. <I>Dnsbl-option</I> is either one of the <B>-B</B> <I>set:option</I> forms or <B>-B</B> <I>domain</I>[<I>,IPaddr</I>[<I>/xx</I>[<I>,bltype</I>]]] <I>Domain</I> is a DNS blacklist domain such as example.com that will be searched. <I>IPaddr</I>[<I>/xxx</I>] is the string "any" an IP address in the DNS blacklist that indicates that the mail message should be rejected, or a CIDR block covering results from the DNS blacklist. "127.0.0.2" is assumed if <I>IPaddr</I> is absent. IPv6 addresses can be specified with the usual colon (:) notation. Names can be used instead of numeric addresses. The type of DNS blacklist is speci- fied by <I>bltype</I> as <I>name</I>, <I>IPv4</I>, or <I>IPv6</I>. Given an envelope sender domain name or a domain name in a URL of spam.domain.org and a blacklist of type <I>name</I>, spam.domain.org.example.com will be tried. Blacklist types of <I>IPv4</I> and <I>IPv6</I> require that the domain name in a URL sender address be resolved into an IPv4 or IPv6 address. The address is then written as a reversed string of decimal octets to check the DNS blacklist, as in 2.0.0.127.example.com, More than one blacklist can be specified and blacklists can be grouped. All searching within a group is stopped at the first posi- tive result. Unlike <B><A HREF="dccm.html">dccm(8)</A></B> and <B><A HREF="dccifd.html">dccifd(8)</A></B>, no <I>option</I> <I>DNSBL-on</I> line is required in the <I>whiteclnt</I> file. A <B>-B</B> argument is sufficient to show that DNSBL filtering is wanted by the <B>dccproc</B> user. <B>-B</B> <I>set:no-client</I> says that SMTP client IP addresses and reverse DNS domain names should not be checked in the following blacklists. <B>-B</B> <I>set:client</I> restores the default for the following black- lists. <B>-B</B> <I>set:no-mail</I><B>_</B><I>host</I> says that SMTP envelope Mail_From sender domain names should not be checked in the following blacklists. <B>-B</B> <I>set:mail</I><B>_</B><I>host</I> restores the default. <B>-B</B> <I>set:no-URL</I> says that URLs in the message body should not be checked in the in the following blacklists. <B>-B</B> <I>set:URL</I> restores the default. <B>-B</B> <I>set:no-MX</I> says MX servers of sender Mail_From domain names and host names in URLs should not be checked in the following blacklists. <B>-B</B> <I>set:MX</I> restores the default. <B>-B</B> <I>set:no-NS</I> says DNS servers of sender Mail_From domain names and host names in URLs should not be checked in the following black- lists. <B>-B</B> <I>set:NS</I> restores the default. <B>-B</B> <I>set:defaults</I> is equivalent to all of <B>-B</B> <I>set:no-temp-fail</I> <B>-B</B> <I>set:client</I> <B>-B</B> <I>set:mail</I><B>_</B><I>host</I> <B>-B</B> <I>set:URL</I> <B>-B</B> <I>set:MX</I> and <B>-B</B> <I>set:NS</I> <B>-B</B> <I>set:group=X</I> adds later DNS blacklists specified with <B>-B</B> <I>domain</I>[<I>,IPaddr</I>[<I>/xx</I>[<I>,bltype</I>]]] to group 1, 2, or 3. <B>-B</B> <I>set:debug=X</I> sets the DNS blacklist logging level <B>-B</B> <I>set:msg-secs=S</I> limits <B>dccproc</B> to <I>S</I> seconds total for checking all DNS black- lists. The default is 25. <B>-B</B> <I>set:URL-secs=S</I> limits <B>dccproc</B> to at most <I>S</I> seconds resolving and checking any single URL. The default is 11. Some spam contains dozens of URLs and that some "spamvertised" URLs contain host names that need minutes to resolve. Busy mail systems cannot afford to spend minutes checking each incoming mail message. <A NAME="OPTION-L"><B>-L</B></A> <I>ltype,facility.level</I> specifies how messages should be logged. <I>Ltype</I> must be <I>error</I>, <I>info</I>, or <I>off</I> to indicate which of the two types of messages are being con- trolled or to turn off all <B>syslog(3)</B> messages from <B>dccproc</B>. <I>Level</I> must be a <B>syslog(3)</B> level among <I>EMERG</I>, <I>ALERT</I>, <I>CRIT</I>, <I>ERR</I>, <I>WARNING</I>, <I>NOTICE</I>, <I>INFO</I>, and <I>DEBUG</I>. <I>Facility</I> must be among <I>AUTH</I>, <I>AUTHPRIV</I>, <I>CRON</I>, <I>DAEMON</I>, <I>FTP</I>, <I>KERN</I>, <I>LPR</I>, <I>MAIL</I>, <I>NEWS</I>, <I>USER</I>, <I>UUCP</I>, and <I>LOCAL0</I> through <I>LOCAL7</I>. The default is equivalent to <B>-L</B> <I>info,MAIL.NOTICE</I> <B>-L</B> <I>error,MAIL.ERR</I> <B>dccproc</B> exits with 0 on success and with the <B>-x</B> value if the <B>-c</B> thresh- olds are reached or the <B>-w</B> <I>whiteclnt</I> file blacklists the message. If at all possible, the input mail message is output to standard output or the <A NAME="OPTION-o"><B>-o</B></A> <I>outfile</I> despite errors. If possible, error messages are put into the system log instead of being mixed with the output mail message. The exit status is zero for errors so that the mail message will not be rejected. If <B>dccproc</B> is run more than 500 times in fewer than 5000 seconds, <B>dccproc</B> tries to start <B><A HREF="dccifd.html">Dccifd(8)</A></B>. The attempt is made at most once per hour. Dccifd is significantly more efficient than <B>dccproc</B>. With luck, mecha- nisms such as SpamAssassin will notice when dccifd is running and switch to dccifd. </PRE> <H2><A NAME="FILES">FILES</A></H2><PRE> <A NAME="FILE-@prefix@">@prefix@</A> DCC home directory in which other files are found. <A NAME="FILE-map">map</A> memory mapped file in the DCC home directory of information concerning DCC servers. <A NAME="FILE-whiteclnt">whiteclnt</A> contains the client whitelist in the format described in <B><A HREF="dcc.html">dcc(8)</A></B>. <A NAME="FILE-whiteclnt.dccw">whiteclnt.dccw</A> is a memory mapped hash table corresponding to the <I>whiteclnt</I> file. <A NAME="FILE-tmpdir">tmpdir</A> contains temporary files created and deleted as <B>dccproc</B> pro- cesses the message. <A NAME="FILE-logdir">logdir</A> is an optional directory specified with <B>-l</B> and containing marked mail.
