so in theory, if local.cf had required_score 5.0, the call to the SA pm 
would be able to compare the score it just computed vs the 5.0 and give 
an reasonable answer.

The reason this is important in a 'post queue' DCC installation like SA 
or amavisd is that the 'normal' DCC operation would be reporting emails 
as they come in, so that this makes DCC an automatic, no human 
intervention needed, obsolutly no FP 'bulk email' detector.
(note: its not a no FP spam detector, bulk isn't always spam, spam isn't 
always bulk).

It also helps the 'problems' with DCC wanting you to whitelist all your 
bulk providers.  Impossible if you have users involved!

New DCC.pm that Vernon is working on cleans up some things, and fixes a 
problem with a stale dcc socket.
I would like to see about it being considered for 3.3.2.
