SMTP-Gateway 5.0
• Configuring the smtpgw component (see section 3.4 page 22).
• Installing and registering the license key.
• If you have no license key at the time of installation (for example, if
you purchased the application via the Internet and have not received
the license key yet), you can activate the application after installation
before its first use. For details see section 5.4, page 46. Note that if
the license key is not installed, the anti-virus database cannot be up-
dated and the smtpgw component cannot be run during the installa-
tion process. You will have to do it manually, after the key is installed.
• Configuring the keepup2date component.
• Updating the anti-virus database.
You must install the anti-virus database before using the applica-
tion. The procedure of detecting and disinfecting viruses relies on
the use of the anti-virus database records that contain description
of viruses known at the moment and the methods of disinfecting
these viruses. Anti-virus scanning and processing of email mes-
sages cannot be performed without the anti-virus database.
• Installing the Webmin module.
The Webmin module for remotely managing the application can be installed
correctly only if the Webmin application is located in the default directory. Af-
ter Webmin is installed, you will receive detailed instructions on how to con-
figure the module to work with the application.
• Running the smtpgw component.
If, after installation, Kaspersky SMTP-Gateway has not started working
as required, check the configuration settings. Pay special attention to
the port number you specified for receiving mail traffic. You may also
view the application log file.
After you properly complete these steps, a corresponding message on the server
console will appear.
