Configuring Anti-Spam engine settings

To configure the Anti-Spam engine settings:

  1. In the main window of the application web interface, open the management console tree and select the Settings section and Protection subsection.
  2. In the Anti-Spam section, click any of the following links: Use KSN, Use enforced Anti-Spam Updates Service, Use reputation filtering, or Maximum scanning time to open the Anti-Spam settings window.
  3. In the External services settings group, select one of the following options in the Use KSN drop-down list:
    • Yes — if you want to use KSN.
    • No — if you do not want to use KSN.
  4. In the External services settings group, select one of the following options in the Use enforced Anti-Spam Updates Service drop-down list:
    • Yes — if you want to use enforced Anti-Spam Updates Service.
    • No — if you do not want to use enforced Anti-Spam Updates Service.

  6. In the Performance settings group, in the Maximum scanning time field specify the maximum Anti-Spam scan time in seconds.

    If Anti-Spam scanning of a message does not finish within the time limit you specified, Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway:

    • Stops scanning the message (Skip action).
    • Assigns Error (Scan error) status to the message.
    • Adds the as-status="Error" label to the message subject.
    • Delivers the message to the recipient.
    • Adds the following entry to the /var/log/maillog event log:

      <scan date and time> <Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway host name>: not clean: message-id=<message ID>: relay-ip=<IP address of message recipient's computer>: action="Skipped": rules=<rule ID>: size=<message size>: mail-from=<message sender's email address>: rcpt-to=<message recipient's email address>: av-status="Clean", ap-status="Error", as-status="Error", ma-status="NotScanned, disabled by settings", cf-status="NotScanned, disabled by settings">

  7. Click the Apply button.
