CHAPTER 1. KASPERSKY ANTI-
VIRUS
®
FOR SENDMAIL
WITH MILTER API
Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
for Sendmail with Milter API (hereinafter also referred to
as Kaspersky Anti-Virus, application) provides anti-virus protection for e-mail
traffic handled by Sendmail with Milter API running on a Linux/Unix server.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus running on a mail server will…
• Intercept incoming and outgoing e-mail messages handled by the server.
• Scan e-mail traffic for viruses using the anti-virus engine. The application
scans the entire message as well as message objects, including the
header, body, and attachment (depending on the anti-virus policy).
• Back up e-mail messages prior to performing any action related to anti-
virus protection, including blocking and rejecting messages. The
administrator can then restore original messages from these backup
copies.
• Handle infected objects of e-mail messages detected during the scan.
• Filter e-mail messages. This version of the product filters messages by
MIME type, size, and name of attachments.
• Notify the senders and administrators about the results of anti-virus
treatment and message filtering. The application may also send detailed
notifications using an external mail agent.
• Provide general statistics and reports on application performance.
The advanced features of Kaspersky Anti-Virus allow the administrator to
perform the following tasks:
• Configure the application from a remote location through the web
interface of the Webmin application.
• Customize templates for sending notifications to senders, recipients, and
administrators using a special language.
