Copyright (c) 2004 Carl Byington - 510 Software Group, released under
the GPL version 2 or any later version at your choice available at

Based on a sample milter Copyright (c) 2000-2003 Sendmail, Inc. and its
suppliers.  Inspired by the DCC by Rhyolite Software

-p port  The port through which the MTA will connect to this milter.
-t sec   The timeout value.

TODO:

1) Add "include-dcc NAME fn" to read a dcc whiteclnt file looking
for many substitute mail-host domain, and add the equivalent "env_from
domain black" into the NAME mapping. That allows clients to use just the
DCC for white/blacklisting, but the backup mx machines can use dnsbl
and get the same effect.
