Bug#199510: RFP: DCC - Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse

[Juhapekka Tolvanen <juhtolv@cc.jyu.fi>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

"The DCC or Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse is currently a system of
many clients and more than 150 servers that collects and count checksums
related to several million mail messages per day, most as seen by
Internet Service Providers. The counts can be used by SMTP servers and
mail user agents to detect and reject or filter spam or unsolicited bulk
mail. DCC servers exchange or "flood" common checksums. The checksums
include values that are constant across common variations in bulk
messages, including "personalizations.""

Already-packaged SpamAssassin can exploit DCC, too.
