Interactive Management

During Dr.Web for UNIX mail servers operation, interactive management of some of its modules can be performed.

To enable interactive management

1.Set Yes as a value of the Control parameter in the [Maild] section of the Dr.Web MailD configuration file;

2.Connect to the address set in the ControlAddress parameter of the same section of the Dr.Web MailD configuration file, and start entering required commands (use any text client, for example, telnet).

Interaction is performed row-wise: the user inputs a string and drweb-maild responds to it. So, multiline commands are not supported and complex Rules must be entered line by line.

An empty line indicates the end of the output from drweb-maild.

Several interactive connections can be established simultaneously. Both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are supported. Dr.Web MailD always opens listening socket at /<value_of_BaseDir_parameter>/ipc/.ctl, regardless of the Control parameter value.

Interactive management control socket allows you to:

•Manage the general status of the solution;

•Manage users, join them in user groups, create aliases and adjust parameters of messages processing;

•Manage Quarantine;

•Get gathered statistics;

•Check Notifier operation.
