How do I maintain client whitelists?
Start by monitoring bulk mail in the global log directories specified with dccproc -l and with DCCM_LOGDIR and DCCM_USERDIRS in the /var/dcc/dcc_conf file for dccm, and dccifd. Then add entries to whitelist files. The global /var/dcc/whiteclnt file and the whitelists specified with dccproc -w are maintained with ordinary text editors. Per-user whitelists in whiteclnt files specified with DCCM_USERDIRS in the /var/dcc/dcc_conf file are easily maintained with ordinary text editors by the system administrator. However, it is often better to let individual users deal with their own whitelists. The DCC source includes sample CGI scripts in the cgi-bin directory in the DCC source to let individual end-users monitor their private logs of bulk mail and their individual whitelists. See the README file for those scripts. There is also a demonstration of the cgi scripts.
