Bug Description

The version of the DCC source you guys are using is ancient.
It causes installations handling more than a few 10K mail
messages/day to be shut off by the public DCC servers as
apparent DoS attackers.

I understant that you have stuck with the ancient version
because you object to the current license, which limits use
to non-commercial sites and sites not in the anti-spam
appliance or mail security businesses. That objection makes
no sense because the restrictions on the public DCC servers
have *always* been stronger, but you are shipping a DCC
client configuration file that points to the public DCC servers.

If you must stick to the ancient version, please delete or
change /var/dcc/map (or perhaps you put it in /var/lib/dcc/map)
to not mention dcc.dcc-servers.net and dcc1 through
dcc5.dcc-servers.net.
