dccifd is the demonized version of dccproc. As it starts only one time and then stays in the memory, it runs much faster. dccproc on the other hand has to be loaded to memory every time it is called (you process a mail). If you process more than ~2000 msg/h you will probably make sure to use dccifd. regards Stefan
