Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC - perform DCC check of messages
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC
The DCC or Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse is a system of servers collecting and counting checksums of millions of mail messages. The counts can be used by SpamAssassin to detect and reject or filter spam.
Because simplistic checksums of spam can be easily defeated, the main DCC checksums are fuzzy and ignore aspects of messages. The fuzzy checksums are changed as spam evolves.
Note that DCC is disabled by default in init.pre because it is not open source. See the DCC license for more details.
init.pre
See http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/ for more information about DCC.
Whether to use DCC, if it is available.
How many seconds you wait for DCC to complete, before scanning continues without the DCC results.
This option sets how often a message's body/fuz1/fuz2 checksum must have been reported to the DCC server before SpamAssassin will consider the DCC check as matched.
As nearly all DCC clients are auto-reporting these checksums, you should set this to a relatively high value, e.g. 999999 (this is DCC's MANY count).
999999
The default is 999999 for all these options.
This option tells SpamAssassin specifically where to find the dcc homedir. If dcc_path is not specified, it will default to looking in dcc_home/bin for dcc client instead of relying on SpamAssassin to find it in the current PATH. If it isn't found there, it will look in the current PATH. If a dccifd socket is found in dcc_home, it will use that interface that instead of dccproc.
dcc_path
dcc_home/bin
dccifd
dcc_home
dccproc
This option tells SpamAssassin specifically where to find the dccifd socket. If dcc_dccifd_path is not specified, it will default to looking in dcc_home If a dccifd socket is found, it will use it instead of dccproc.
dcc_dccifd_path
This option tells SpamAssassin specifically where to find the dccproc client instead of relying on SpamAssassin to find it in the current PATH. Note that if taint mode is enabled in the Perl interpreter, you should use this, as the current PATH will have been cleared.
Specify additional options to the dccproc(8) command. Please note that only characters in the range [0-9A-Za-z ,._/-] are allowed for security reasons.
The default is undef.
undef
Specify additional options to send to the dccifd(8) daemon. Please note that only characters in the range [0-9A-Za-z ,._/-] are allowed for security reasons.
