Installing/Using DCC sanity check

[Kevin Miller]

I've been reading through the DCC docs prior to the install, and I think I
have a handle on it, but thought I'd check in here just to be sure, knowing
that someone will either tell me I'm a complete idiot or I'm on the right
track.  Well, OK, I probably *am* a complete idiot anyway <g> but I still
manage to get it right at least some of the time.

So, my understanding is that dccm is a milter for sendmail.  I'm using
sendmail, but I want MailScanner to do the RBL/Razor/DCC checks.  Therefore,
I don't have to install dccm (which requires rebuilding sendmail - at least
as nearly as I can tell in SuSE 9.2).  MailScanner/Spamassassin will just
use DCCproc or DCCifd which are installed as a matter of course.  Right?  Or
am I missing anything.

I read the FAQ regarding using DCCifd, which says this:
-------------
'So, if you use MailScanner on a low scale mail server, or even as a one
user's
solution, it's better that you run it as DCCproc.

If your mailserver scans loads of messages each day, then it'll be better to

run it as a daemon.'
-------------
I move probably 3000 messages a day inbound.  Any recommendations on which
would be more efficient (DCCproc or DCCifd) or for that low of a number is
it a wash?

Thanks much...

...Kevin
