I've written my own solution, integrating dcc code into cleanup 
subsystem of postfix.
I don't like this integration, but direct use of  dccifd is imposible 
due to performance reasons.
If some time Vernon will make clear api to use dcc algoritms, dcc can be 
integrated with posfix.
The proper place is smtpd_proxy_filter or content_filter.
