I think the count for each DCC checksum is the number of addressees or target mailboxes, and not the number successfully hit advertising targets. So dccm (with recent versions of sendmail) and dccifd in proxy mode (e.g. as a postfix before-queue filter) count SMTP Rcpt_To commands regadless of their validity. > - double or multiple the number of non-existent recipients in addition to > number of those existing? > (e.g. for 3 known and 7 unknown recipients report 17, 24 or even more) If you think that an attempt to send mail to a particular mailbox is proof that the message is spam, why not report it with a count of "many"? Some people run spam traps. See http://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/FAQ.html#spamtrap Many SpamAssassin+DCC installations use DCC thresholds of "many." The only spam they detect with DCC are copies of messages sent to spam traps or otherwise reported with counts of "many" Vernon Schryver [email protected] _______________________________________________ DCC mailing list [email protected] http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc
