A.3.2. Configuration file kas-thttpd.conf
The kas-thttpd.conf configuration file located at /usr/local/ap-mailfilter3/etc/
contains settings of the HTTP server that provides a web interface of the main
Kaspersky Anti-Spam configuration tool – the Management Center.

is better not to change the default value of mailflt3, because this might
result in incorrect system behavior.

for requests to connect to the Management Center interface. The value
of 0.0.0.0 means that the server listens on all network interfaces.
port – port used to connect to the Management Center interface.
pidfile – name of the HTTP server pid-file. The default value is /usr/local/ap-
mailfilter3/run/kas-thttpd.pid

Center. The default value is /usr/local/ap-mailfilter3/control/www.
cgipat – template of the names of cgi scripts. The value of this option should
be set to **.cgi.
