There is very little, if any, difference between dccifd and dccm. Just add the following entries to local.cf and change to the proper values for your environment. Also, be sure to get the file ownerships correct. The dcc user owns most files and directories in dcc_home. use_dcc 1 dcc_path /opt/csw/var/dcc/ dcc_home /opt/csw/var/dcc/ dcc_dccifd_path /opt/csw/var/dcc/dccifd dcc_add_header 0 Note that dcc_add_header=1 serves no real purpose in a SA environment and I had some problems with it when I had it turned on with dccm running as a sendmail milter. The headers were sometimes written without data. From SA, DCC_CHECK is add to X-Spam-Status when DCC says the mail is spam.
