Yep. Am playing around with it ATM, though sadly very litle time to do it 
properly. I will eventually put together a how-to.

I don't use a filter. AFAIR, it isn't advised due to the method of address 
handling. Use a Director/Router & transport instead. The setup is exactly the 
same as for Vipuls Razor (see Exim mailing list archives)

As mentioned, I am messing about with this ATM, and can't give you a working 
version yet, as it keeps on changing! I am also stupidly busy, and away from 
home for the next few days! But, to give you an idea, play around with the 
conf belo. BEWARE MAIL LOOPS !!!!

## TRANSPORT

dcc:
  driver = pipe
  use_shell = true
  command = "/usr/local/bin/dccproc -A -t $recipients_count | \
	/usr/local/bin/exim -oMr dcc -bS"
  user = dcc
  group = mail
  bsmtp = all
  prefix =

## Director (Assumes Exim v3.x)

checksum:
  driver = smartuser
  transport = dcc
  condition = ${if eq {$received_protocol}{smtp}{yes}{no}}
# WRONG! Needs tuning. We want (scan only SMTP from outside)
# for a simple config file, ..{$received_protocol}{dcc}{no}{yes}} works
  verify_recipient = false
  verify_sender = false

## Router

checksum:
  driver = domainlist
  transport = dcc
  route_list = *
  condition = ${if eq {$received_protocol}{dcc}{no}{yes}}
