.SH NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC \- perform DCC check of messages
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&  loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC
\&
\&  full DCC_CHECK        eval:check_dcc()

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The DCC or Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse is a system of servers
collecting and counting checksums of millions of mail messages.
The counts can be used by SpamAssassin to detect and filter spam.
.PP
See https://www.dcc\-servers.net/dcc/ for more information about DCC.
.PP
Note that DCC is disabled by default in \f(CW\*(C`v310.pre\*(C'\fR because its use requires
software that is not distributed with SpamAssassin and that has license
restrictions for certain commercial uses.
See the DCC license at https://www.dcc\-servers.net/dcc/LICENSE for details.
.PP
Enable it by uncommenting the "loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC"
confdir/v310.pre or by adding this line to your local.pre.  It might also
be necessary to install a DCC package, port, rpm, or equivalent from your
operating system distributor or a tarball from the primary DCC source
at https://www.dcc\-servers.net/dcc/#download
See also https://www.dcc\-servers.net/dcc/INSTALL.html
.SH TAGS
.IX Header "TAGS"
The following tags are added to the set, available for use in reports,
header fields, other plugins, etc.:
.PP
.Vb 4
\&  _DCCB_    DCC server ID in X\-DCC\-*\-Metrics header field name
\&  _DCCR_    X\-DCC\-*\-Metrics header field body
\&  _DCCREP_  DCC Reputation or percent bulk mail (0..100) from
\&              commercial DCC software
.Ve
.SH "USER SETTINGS"
.IX Header "USER SETTINGS"
.IP "use_dcc (0|1)		(default: 1)" 4
.IX Item "use_dcc (0|1) (default: 1)"
Whether to use DCC, if it is available.
.IP "use_dcc_rep (0|1)		(default: 1)" 4
.IX Item "use_dcc_rep (0|1) (default: 1)"
Whether to use the commercial DCC Reputation feature, if it is available. 
Note that reputation data is free for all starting from DCC 2.x version,
where it's automatically used.
.IP "dcc_body_max NUMBER" 4
.IX Item "dcc_body_max NUMBER"
.PD 0
.IP "dcc_fuz1_max NUMBER" 4
.IX Item "dcc_fuz1_max NUMBER"
.IP "dcc_fuz2_max NUMBER" 4
.IX Item "dcc_fuz2_max NUMBER"
.PD
Sets how often a message's body/fuz1/fuz2 checksum must have been reported
to the DCC server before SpamAssassin will consider the DCC check hit.
\&\f(CW999999\fR is DCC's MANY count.
.Sp
The default is \f(CW999999\fR for all these options.
.IP "dcc_rep_percent NUMBER" 4
.IX Item "dcc_rep_percent NUMBER"
Only the commercial DCC software provides DCC Reputations (but starting from
DCC 2.x version it is available for all).  A DCC Reputation is the
percentage of bulk mail received from the last untrusted relay in the path
taken by a mail message as measured by all commercial DCC installations. 
See http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc/reputations.html You \f(CW\*(C`must\*(C'\fR whitelist your
trusted relays or MX servers with MX or MXDCC lines in /var/dcc/whiteclnt as
described in the main DCC man page to avoid seeing your own MX servers as
sources of bulk mail.  See
https://www.dcc\-servers.net/dcc/dcc\-tree/dcc.html#White\-and\-Blacklists The
default is \f(CW90\fR.
.SH "ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS"
.IX Header "ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS"
.IP "dcc_timeout n		(default: 5)" 4
.IX Item "dcc_timeout n (default: 5)"
How many seconds you wait for DCC to complete, before scanning continues
without the DCC results. A numeric value is optionally suffixed by a
time unit (s, m, h, d, w, indicating seconds (default), minutes, hours,
days, weeks).
.IP "dcc_home STRING" 4
.IX Item "dcc_home STRING"
This option tells SpamAssassin where to find the dcc homedir.
If not specified, try to use the locally configured directory
from the \f(CW\*(C`cdcc homedir\*(C'\fR command.
Try /var/dcc if that command fails.
.IP "dcc_dccifd_path STRING" 4
.IX Item "dcc_dccifd_path STRING"
This option tells SpamAssassin where to find the dccifd socket instead
of a local Unix socket named \f(CW\*(C`dccifd\*(C'\fR in the \f(CW\*(C`dcc_home\*(C'\fR directory.
If a socket is specified or found, use it instead of \f(CW\*(C`dccproc\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
If specified, \f(CW\*(C`dcc_dccifd_path\*(C'\fR is the absolute path of local Unix socket
or an INET socket specified as \f(CW\*(C`[Host]:Port\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`Host:Port\*(C'\fR.
Host can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address or a host name
Port is a TCP port number. The brackets are required for an IPv6 address.
.Sp
The default is \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.IP "dcc_path STRING" 4
.IX Item "dcc_path STRING"
Where to find the \f(CW\*(C`dccproc\*(C'\fR client program instead of relying on SpamAssassin
to find it in the current PATH or \f(CW\*(C`dcc_home/bin\*(C'\fR. This must often be set,
because the current PATH is cleared by \fItaint mode\fR in the Perl interpreter,
.Sp
If a \f(CW\*(C`dccifd\*(C'\fR socket is found in \f(CW\*(C`dcc_home\*(C'\fR or specified explicitly
with \f(CW\*(C`dcc_dccifd_path\*(C'\fR, use the \f(CWdccifd(8)\fR interface instead of \f(CW\*(C`dccproc\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
The default is \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.IP "dcc_options options" 4
.IX Item "dcc_options options"
Specify additional options to the \fBdccproc\fR\|(8) command.  Only
characters in the range [0\-9A\-Za\-z ,._/\-] are allowed for security reasons.
.Sp
The default is \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.IP "dccifd_options options" 4
.IX Item "dccifd_options options"
Specify additional options to send to the dccifd daemon with
the ASCII protocol described on the \fBdccifd\fR\|(8) man page.
Only characters in the range [0\-9A\-Za\-z ,._/\-] are allowed for security reasons.
.Sp
The default is \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.IP "dcc_learn_score n		(default: undef)" 4
.IX Item "dcc_learn_score n (default: undef)"
Report messages with total scores this much larger than the
SpamAssassin spam threshold to DCC as spam.
