Using Control Email Messages

Access to Quarantine can be gained via special control email messages. These messages, in the Subject field, contain commands to be executed by drweb-maild. Messages must be sent to the address specified in the FilterMail parameter from the [Notifier] section of the Dr.Web MailD configuration file or in local rules which are true for this message. ACL setup for control messages is performed by setting a value of the OnlyTrustedControlMails parameter from the [Maild] section of the Dr.Web MailD configuration file.

Receiving messages from Quarantine is enabled by setting Yes as a value of the AccessByEmail parameter from the [Quarantine] section of the Dr.Web MailD configuration file.

To receive a certain message from Quarantine, specify the following string in the Subject field of the control message:

q:relative_path_to_file

where relative_path_to_file is a relative path to the file in Quarantine (for example, /def/drweb/F/00014F8F.DW_SHOT_PRODUCT.QqFpdH).

The message is requested from Quarantine only if its sender or one of its recipients is the same as the sender of a control message.

The control message can be automatically generated by the user MUA when the user clicks the corresponding link in report, sent by Dr.Web Notifier upon transfer of message to Quarantine.
