I queried this our filewall guys and they reckoned that there are no blocks
on the network to stop dcc working. (I have also checked the local firewall
on my Redhat box BTW)

I can connect to each of the dcc servers above  using

telnet <hostname> 6277


and when I bring up my server on localhost I can see that machine using
spamassassin (although cdcc still tells me that it is not responding)

Given this is there anything else I can try?

TIA.
