How to verify MS is using dccifd

[Ben Tisdall]

Hi esteemed MailScanners,

Subject says it all.

I've followed the instructions kindly provided here:

http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:anti_spam:spamassassin:plugins:dcc:dccifd_install

dccifd is running but I don't see any debug lines relating to MS using
dcc at all.

I'm certain that either ddcproc or dccifd is being used, because if I
disable it in spam.assassin.prefs.conf spam scans speed up dramatically,
but I'm not sure which.

Strace'ing the dccifd child produces this:

bentis at newacorn:/etc/mail/spamassassin$ sudo strace -p 26991
Password:
Process 26991 attached - interrupt to quit
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000)  = 0

(Note the same output is produced by our live MS box, but I didn't
install that one).

Please let me know if further info is required.

Cheers!

Ben.
