Then you don't understand DCC's purpose. DCC is intended to determine the
amount of times messages appear. The more frequently a spammer sends out
very similar messages the higher the count for that message (basically).
The side affect is that ALL bulk mail operations will have high counts.
That means mailing lists with large traffic and large subscribers will have
large counts when the messages appear in the DCC data.

The use of DCC should be coupled with other anti-spam technologies like
SpamAssassin. Unless you exactly what your doing with DCC.
