Filtration Process
page (see Fig. 20)
contains the parameters of the
ap-mailfilter
filtering processes:
•
Max. number of mail messages to be processed
– maximum number
of mail messages that a single filtering process can serve. After
processing of a specified number of messages the filtering process
terminates and the application initiates a new process instead. The value
of that parameter may be adjusted depending upon the load on the
filtration server. Recommended value:
300
.
•
Max. number of mail messages randomization
– value used by
Kaspersky Anti-Spam to define the maximum number of messages that a
single filtering process can serve. This value is selected at random from a
range with the smallest number defined by the
Max. number of mail
messages to be processed
parameter and the largest number
determined by a sum of the
Max. number of mail messages to be
processed
and
Max. number of mail messages randomization
parameters. Thus, if the values of these parameters are
300
and
30
respectively, then each filtering process will serve from 300 to 330
messages. The setting allows you to avoid simultaneous completion and
subsequent start of a large number of new filtering processes during the
periods of peak load on server.
•
Max. idle time
(in seconds)
–
maximum time (seconds) during which a
filtering process may remain idle. If a filtering process receives no mail
messages for analysis within the specified interval, it discontinues its
activity. Default value:
300
.
