Using Kaspersky SMTP-Gateway application 27

ftp://downloads1.kaspersky-labs.com/updates/, etc.

The updcfg.xml file included in the installation package lists the URLs of all

available Kaspersky Lab’s update servers.

To update the anti-virus database or application modules, the keepup2date

component first selects an address from the list of update servers and tries to

download updates from this server. If the server is currently unavailable, the

application connects to another server, trying to download updates. After the

database has been successfully updated, a command specified as the value of

parameter PostUpdateCmd in section [updater.options] of the configuration

file will be executed. By default, this command will automatically restart the

application; it is not recommended to alter this command.

All settings of the keepup2date component are stored in the [updater.*]

sections of the configuration file.

If your network has a complicated structure, we recommend that you download

updates from Kaspersky Lab’s update servers every three hours and place them

to a network directory. To keep other networked computers constantly updated,

configure the local computers to copy the updates from this directory. For

detailed instructions on how to implement this updating scenario, see

section 5.1.3 on page 29.

We urgently recommend that you set the application to update your

anti-virus database every 3 hours!

You can also configure the updating process to run at a certain time by using the

cron utility (see section 0 on page 27) or manually, from the command line (see

section 5.1.2 no page 28).

All Kaspersky Lab’s applications that have the keepup2date component

can be automatically updated.
