I use both (and Razor too) along with a number of RBL's that come
standard with SpamAssassin.  If anything it does it's job a little too
well.  Most of the custom rules I've been writing lately are to lower
scores for legitimate mail, and thus avoid being flagged as spam.

On a more quantitative basis, DCC is fractionally more accurate than
Pyzor at our site.  DCC shows up <5% on false negatives and false
positives over the last 12 months, where Pyzor comes in with just over
8%.  Still, given that our COMBINED false negative and false positive
rate is <0.01% of our total mail volume (by message count), it's really
splitting hairs.

HTH,

James
