Managing the spam filtration server 57
4.5.1. Common filtration server parameters
Common parameters of the filtration server can be found in the Settings → Anti-
Spam Engine → Common page (see Fig. 18) that includes:
• Syslog facility – system log facility that will be used to record the
messages from the components of Kaspersky Anti-Spam. By default, the
product writes messages using the mail facility. However, if necessary,
the filtration server's administrator can select logging to one of the
following facilities: mail, user, local0 – local7.
After modification of the Syslog facility parameters configure
the syslog daemon to record the messages of the specified
facility. This configuration step has to be performed manually by
editing the /etc/syslog.conf file. Please refer to manual pages for
syslogd and syslog.conf for details.
The monitoring system uses the system log to display the messages
about the activity of the filtering server and its components. In order to
identify the directory where the necessary files are located, it uses the
parameter values from the /etc/syslog.conf configuration file.

settings in the /etc/syslog.conf configuration file may impose additional
