I’ve noticed the following error in my mailogs: mail spamd[26839]: dcc: failed to connect to local socket /var/dcc/dccifd
It’s repeated a lot. I searched the list archive and google, but only found pointers that this is a SpamAssasin module. Not sure why it’s not running, how to start it, or even what it is. I have a /var/dcc folder, but I did find one note that said one was not supposed to start dcc from there. The files in there are from either 2006 or 2009, with the exception of 42 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 42K Mar 4 04:13 whiteclnt.dccw 8 -rw------- 1 root wheel 7.4K Mar 4 04:39 map There is a file "/var/dcc/build/dcc/misc/start-dccifd” which looks like a start script to be called by something in rc.d/ and looking in the headers I see references to sendmail, but I run postfix. -- Forever was over. All the sands had fallen. The great race between entropy and energy had been run, and the favourite had been the winner after all. Perhaps he ought to sharpen the blade again? No. Not much point, really.
