databases and restart the filtration module to make it work with the new
databases.
During setup of Kaspersky Anti-Spam the installer by default configures cron to
run the updating script every 20 minutes for the mailflt3 user. If for some reason
you need to configure the task running the update script manually, perform the
following steps:
1. Use the following command to edit the cron task file for the
mailflt3 user:
# crontab –u mailflt3 –e
2. Add to the task file, for example, the following line:
*/20 * * * * /usr/local/ap-mailfilter3/bin/sfupdates -q
Before you configure automatic launch of updates, make sure that the
mailflt3 user has sufficient privileges to write to the following
directories: /usr/local/ap-mailfilter3/cfdata and /usr/local/ap-
mailfilter3/conf.
