Special considerations when using the application
- After upgrading Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server, settings specified in the klms_filter.conf file will be replaced with the default settings. Save a backup copy of the klms_filter.conf file before upgrading Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server. After the upgrade, migrate the necessary settings from the backup copy to the new file.
- If the Backup folder is on a hard-mounted partition with the NFS file system, message processing may be slowed due to problems with NFS. It is recommended to enable use of a timeout when placing messages in Backup, or soft-mount the partition.
- If you integrate Exim dlfunc in an operating system that uses systemd technology for initialization, a temporary folder for Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server is created in /var/opt/kaspersky/klms/tmp instead of /tmp. If the tmpfs file system was used for the /tmp folder, you need to reconfigure the file system of the /var/opt/kaspersky/klms/tmp folder on your own.
