Security Server consists of the following modules:
- Email interceptor. Intercepts messages arriving on the Microsoft Exchange server and forwards them to Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam. This module participates in Microsoft Exchange processes using Transport Agents technology.
When installing Kaspersky Security, a transport agent named Kaspersky Antispam filter agent is registered on the Microsoft Exchange server that has the highest priority. Do not change the priority of this transport agent. Doing so may reduce the effectiveness of protection.
- Anti-Virus. Scans messages for viruses and other malicious objects. This module comprises an anti-virus kernel and a storage for temporary objects, which is used for scanning objects in RAM. The storage is located in the working folder Store.
The Store folder is created in the application data storage folder (by default: <application setup folder>/data). You have to exclude it from scanning by anti-virus applications installed on the corporate network. Otherwise, Kaspersky Security may operate incorrectly.
- Anti-Spam. Filters out unsolicited mail. Copies of deleted messages can be stored in Backup.
- Internal Application Management and Integrity Control Module. It is the Kaspersky Security 9.0 for Microsoft Exchange Servers service in Microsoft Windows.
The module is started automatically when the first message passes through the Microsoft Exchange server
This service does not depend on the state of the Microsoft Exchange Server (whether it is started or stopped), so the application can be configured when the Microsoft Exchange Server is stopped.
The Internal Application Management and Integrity Control Module should be running at all times. Do not end the Kaspersky Security 9.0 for Microsoft Exchange Servers service manually, as this will disable the Security Server and stop the scanning process.
