Back when (5-6 ? years ago) I first put DC on our AIX mail server, I thought to put it in the inted.conf file, as was the old UWIMAP invocation. But a) I had problems with that and b) people here informed me that it was much more efficient just to directly invoke it, so I put it in the /etc/rc.local file and it has <knock on wood> never failed to start and run cleanly. So....this is an easy one with an easy answer. :)
