> DCC.pm checks for X-DCC: bulk only if it has been added upstream, = I think it is good to run DCC checks during the original SMTP transaction. The best way is to let the MTA reject spam during the transaction. Even if one cannot do that, dccifd or dccm can add X-DCC headers when run as part of sendmail, postfix, or other MTAs. > Are fuz1 and fuz2 computed from same parts of email eg. sender, = > subject, X-Client + body, or fuz2 takes more headers ?

The fuzziness of the fuz1 and fuz2 checksums differ. I will not say how they differ, although it is not a secret for anyone willing to read the source. > If they use same subset of headers + body there's no point in = > diferenting threstholds for fuz1 and fuz2, and if fuz2 inputs more = > data it should have smaller thresthold then fuz1. I think the thresholds for the checksums should be the same. Except for tiny messages and certain other cases, all three DCC checksums are computed message bodies. However, only reports of bulky checksums are flooded, so your DCC server is more likely to receive reports of fuzzy checksums than simple "body" checksums.
