checksum addition to whiteclnt

[fr3akX]

Hello!
I'm using dccm with postfix, I know, that this is not recommended setup,
but it works fine. Problem with postfix prequeue proxy filter is that it
did not checks headers before passing to dccifd. My question is not
related to this setup. I'm wondering what actions is required after
checksum addition to white-clnt, is dccm restart required or there is
some quicker way to reload whitelist?
Thak You!

On the contrary, I'm glad that works fine because using dccifd as
a postfix before-queue filter *IS* one of the recommended configurations.
That is why postfix before--queue filtering is the example in the
dccifd man page in your copy of the DCC source or at
http://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/dccifd.html#EXAMPLES

Why is that a problem?  Why not let postfix do DCC checks including
SMTP headers before postfix does other checks?

If you are using dccifd as a Postfix before-queue filter, why and how
are you also using dccm?  Perhaps "dccm" was a typo for "dccifd."

Changes to the main /var/dcc/whiteclnt file (or wherever you put the
DCC home directory) and changes to per-user whiteclnt files are
automatically noticed by dccifd, dccm, and dccproc (when dccproc is run
with -w).  Changes to files included in whiteclnt files are also
automatically noticed.

The most common causes of whiteclnt problems are:

  - ownership
      The DCC program such as dccifd must lock the file, and that requires
      that dccifd be able to write the file

  - locking
      Editors including `vi` on many UNIX like systems lock files.
      While you have the file visible in `vi`, dccifd will not be able
      to use it and dccifd will complain to the system log.
