CHAPTER 6. ADDITIONAL
SETUP
This section describes in detail additional setup of Kaspersky Anti-Virus
functionality. Unlike the settings made during the installation process (please see
para. 3.3 on p.17) which are required and essential for product functioning,
additional setup is performed at the administrator's discretion. Those settings
extend product functionality and allow its adjustment for operation within
corporate framework of a specific enterprise.
6.1. Integrating the application into
your mail system
If the application has not been integrated with Sendmail during installation, use
kavmilter-setup.sh
, a special utility for integrating Kaspersky Anti-Virus with your
mail system. Sendmail needs to be restarted after you make necessary
configuration changes. You can also roll back to the previous Sendmail
configuration if needed.
Use the following command line options:
–add-filter
– Change the Sendmail configuration file;
–del-filter
– Roll back to the previous Sendmail configuration and cancel the
latest changes;
–check-filter
– Check the Sendmail configuration for the
kavmilter
filter to
make sure that the filter has been added. If the filter has been success-
fully added, the console will display
yes
; otherwise the value will be
no
.
–set-filter <action>
– Specify further actions to be performed by Sendmail if
the
kavmilter
filter is unavailable (specified limits have been exceeded,
a cold restart has occurred, etc.). These actions are recorded in the mail
system configuration in the filter definition section. Here are some pos-
sible actions:
tempfail
– The client connection shall fail with error 451 (for example,
451 4.7.1 Please try again later
);
reject
– Any incoming messages shall be rejected. The error return
code is 554 (for example,
554 Not accepting messages
);
pass
– Skip email messages (or forward it to another filter) even if they
remained unfiltered by
kavmilter
. This action creates an additional
risk for users;
