CHAPTER 5. UNISTALLING
KASPERSKY ANTI-SPAM
To uninstall Kaspersky Anti-Spam, you must be a privileged (root) user. If you
are currently logged under a user account with lesser privileges, log on as root.
The uninstallation process will automatically stop all the services of
Kaspersky Anti-Spam!
When you are uninstalling Kaspersky Anti-Spam, the application services will be
stopped, and all files and directories created during installation will be deleted.
However, files and directories created or modified by the administrator, such as
the configuration file, content filtration databases, license key file, will remain.
The uninstaller will also restore the mail server parameters used before
installation of Kaspersky Anti-Spam.
If the configuration file of the mail server has been modified after
Kaspersky Anti-Spam installation, automatic restoration of earlier
settings will be impossible and the administrator will have to remove
manually the changes introduced by the installer during product setup.
The mailflt3 user account and the mailflt3 group corresponding to it will not be
deleted. The administrator can remove them manually.
There are several ways to run the uninstall procedure, depending on the
package manager you used:
• If you installed the application from the .rpm package, type the following in
the command line to uninstall Kaspersky Anti-Spam:
# rpm –e kas-3-<package version>
• If you installed the application from the .deb package, type the following in
the command line to uninstall Kaspersky Anti-Spam:
# dpkg –P kas-3
• If you installed the application from .tgz or .tbz package, type the following
in the command line to uninstall Kaspersky Anti-Spam:
