Description :
The idea of the DCC is that if mail recipients could compare the mail they
receive, they could recognize unsolicited bulk mail. A DCC server totals
reports of checksums of messages from clients and answers queries about the
total counts for checksums of mail messages. A DCC client reports the
checksums for a mail message to a server and is told the total number of
recipients of mail with each checksum. If one of the totals is higher than a
threshold set by the client and according to local whitelists the message is
unsolicited, the DCC client can log, discard, or reject the message.
