SpamAssassin 2.60 now supports two ways of using dcc: the old one involves
running the dccproc program for each message; the new one talks to the
ddcifd daemon via a socket. This should be more efficient because of the
reduced startup costs.

I haven't finished investigating dcc properly, so I don't know about
running a local dcc server. Given dcc's principles, it would make sense
if checking a message was the same as reporting it, but it isn't
clear to me if this is how it actually works.
