Which you can't; DCC is not a spam detector, only a bulk detector - it
will, correctly, fire on solicited bulk email, such as almost any large
mailing list.

That would still leave it as a bulk detector rather than an unsolicited
bulk detector.

It may be a useful part of an anti-spam defense, but it is not, by
itself, much good as an anti-spam tool - except perhaps when applied to
mail streams not containing any mailing list subscriptions.
