7.17. Additional informational
header fields in messages
The application enables some supplementary information to be added to mail
messages as header fields using one of two separate methods:
• Addition of an extension header field to mail message
The information may indicate the application version, the date when the
anti-virus database was last updated, the time and result of message
scanning (determined by the AddXHeaders parameter in the
[group.settings] section of the group configuration file).
Header format:
X-Anti-Virus: <product name and version>, bases: <date
of the last update to anti-virus databases in YYYYMMDD
format> #<the number of records in AV databases>,
check: <scan date in YYYYMMDD format> <scanning status
or not_checked>
For example:
X-Anti-Virus:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Sendmail with
Milter API 5.6.0.0, bases: 20050301 #102746, check:
20041210 clean
• Addition of disclaimer text to mail message body
The information will be added as plain text; it may contain any statement
generated in accordance with the security policy (or other rules) of a
specific organization, and is specified by the AddDisclaimer parameter in
the [group.settings] section. The default message text notifies that the
message has been scanned by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Upon the
administrator’s demand the application can modify the information format
(e.g., generate disclaimer message as a HTML text).
7.18. Troubleshooting
The application distribution kit includes the troubleshooter.sh script which allows
you to troubleshoot the application operation. Using this script, you can also
report serious bugs and problems to the Kaspersky Lab’ Technical Support.
In order to use this script, you should have uuencode utility installed in
your system.
