In addition to configuring the above scripts, the following actions are highly
recommended:
• Specify the path to the directory in which the above-listed scripts will be
executed as the value of the HOME variable. The recommended path is
/usr/local/ap-mailfilter3/run.
• Add a list of paths to the main system utilities, including the sendmail
2
utility, as the value of the PATH variable. The default value is
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
• Specify the address to which messages about script execution will be
sent. The address is specified using the MAILTO variable. The default
value is postmaster.

described settings:
