DCC is a system to detect (not necessarily unsollicited) bulk email. >From the web site: | The DCC or Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse is currently a system of | clients and more than 70 servers that collects and count checksums | related to several million mail messages per day, most as seen by | Internet Service Providers. The counts can be used by SMTP servers and | mail user agents to detect and reject or filter spam or unsolicited bulk | mail. DCC servers exchange or "flood" common checksums. The checksums | include values that are constant across common variations in bulk | messages, including "personalizations." DCC is supported by recent versions of spamassassin. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux matilda 2.4.19 #3 SMP Mon Sep 9 11:05:11 CEST 2002 i686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
