DCC not scoring from within MailScanner

[Sarah Trayser]

Thanks for all the replies.

We're using dccproc, not dccifd.

Although we do run a firewall, that can't be the issue since it's
working from the command line.

In my testing I did this. DCC works when I run a spamassassin test as
the mailscanner user, just not when MailScanner calls it, apparently.

Wouldn't this affect the command line test as well? Where would this
be set - mailscanner.cf > spam.assassin.prefs.conf? This is what I see
in that file:

ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC
#dcc_path /usr/local/bin/dccproc
endif

As far as I know we have not changed that so I assume it has always
been commented out.
