Integration with Exim

Внимание!

Integration instructions in this documentation are given for Exim version 4.xx.  If you want to use earlier versions of Exim (3.xx), please refer to the corresponding documentation (for example, http://www.exim.org/index.html).

When Dr.Web MailD interacts with Exim mail system, drweb-receiver module acts as a Receiver component, and drweb-sender acts as a Sender component. There are two possible methods to connect Exim mail system to Dr.Web MailD:

Connection by the means of special transport.

Advantages: recompilation of Exim is not required, and system can operate with relatively old versions of Exim.

Disadvantages: system performance is reduced.

Connection by the means of Exim local_scan function. In this case, Receiver, unlike other components, receives its configuration data from the configuration file of Exim mail system (unlike other components, which receive configuration settings from Dr.Web Agent component).

Advantages: system performance is increased.

Disadvantages: recompilation of Exim is required, and Exim version must be 4.50 or later.

Внимание!

Note that the initialization script included in Dr.Web MailD (and located in the %bin_dir/maild/scripts/ directory) allows to preconfigure Dr.Web MailD and Exim to interact using special transport.
