CHAPTER 6. ADVANCED
SETTINGS
This chapter discusses in detail the advanced settings of Kaspersky SMTP-
Gateway. In contrast to main settings (see section 5.2 on page 30) that provide
the application functionality, advanced settings can be configured optionally at
the administrator’s discretion.
6.1. Configuring anti-virus protection
of mail traffic
All mail traffic anti-virus protection settings are grouped in section
[smtpgw.ave] of the application configuration file.
The server mail traffic anti-virus protection settings requires that you set up rules
to be used for processing infected objects depending on its type.
If parameters ScanArchives and ScanMailBases are set to true, the application
will also scan archives and mail databases respectively.
6.1.1. Scanning and disinfecting messages
By default, the application only scans your email traffic for viruses. If a virus is
detected, the application can delete such infected object, rename it, block
messages, deliver message containing such object and/or send notifications to
the sender, recipient, and administrator. To enable disinfection, set the Cure
parameter to true.
To have Kaspersky SMTP-Gateway disinfect infected messages, specify the
following:
• Cure=true – disinfect an infected object. If disinfection has
been successful, the object is assigned the Cure status.
