CHAPTER 2. TYPICAL
DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS
Kaspersky Anti-Virus can be rolled out using the following methods, depending
on the initial configuration of your mail system and specific needs of your
organization:
• on the same server your mail system is on: this scenario is used by
default if you have a configured Sendmail system on your server (see
section 2.1 on page 13).
• on a dedicated server: use this method if your mail server is under a high
load (see section 2.2 on page 16). In this case you can also use
Kaspersky Anti-Virus to process mail traffic of several Sendmail servers
(see section 2.4 on page 18).
Note that in both cases the application will function identically, regardless of the
deployment scenario you choose. They differ only in the method of interaction
between Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Sendmail.
To configure Kaspersky Anti-Virus, consider other Milter filters integrated into
your mail system. If you have such filters, you can install Kaspersky Anti-Virus
as:
• a single Milter filter;
• together with other Milter filters: if you have other mail filters, for example,
Kaspersky Anti-Spam (see section 2.3 on page 18).
The sections below describe each scenario in detail.
2.1. Installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus
on the same server with your
mail system
When describing the operation and configuration of Kaspersky Anti-
Virus in this guide, it is assumed that Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been
installed on the same server as your mail system.
