Mail server protection status

The protection status of the mail server indicates whether or not there are currently any security issues affecting the level of security.

Not only detected malicious programs and spam are classified as security issues in this instance, but also:

• Use of outdated program databases
• Disabling the Anti-Spam module
• Disabling the Anti-Virus module
• Disabling the Anti-Phishing module

To ensure that Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server is protecting the mail server:

• check that the klms service is running.
• Make sure that the program databases are up to date.
• If you have configured integration with an external directory service (LDAP, Active Directory), check the connection between the program and the external service of users.

To verify that the klms service is running:

1. Run the following command:

   # /opt/kaspersky/klms/bin/klms-control --is-program-started

2. Run the following command:

   # echo $?

If Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server is running, 0 is returned; if the program is not running, 1 is returned.

In the Monitoring section of the main window of the Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server web interface, the following information on the status of mail server protection is displayed in the right part of the workspace:

• Operating status of the Anti-Spam module, up-to-date status of the Anti-Spam module databases, and the number of messages in Anti-Spam Quarantine.
• Operating status of the Anti-Virus module, and up-to-date status of Anti-Virus module databases.
• Status of the connection with the KATA server, and the number of messages in KATA Quarantine (if you are using Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform).
• Operating status of the Anti-Phishing module, and up-to-date status of the Anti-Phishing module databases.
• Status of the connection with Kaspersky Security Network or Kaspersky Private Security Network (if you are using Kaspersky Private Security Network).
• Information about the last update of program databases.
• Status of the connection to LDAP servers
• License validity period and a license expiration notification if the license is about to expire.

By default, the Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, and Anti-Phishing modules are enabled, and Content Filtering, Mail Sender Authentication, and KATA protection are disabled.
