MTA Connections

This section provides you with description of parameters that configure interaction between Dr.Web for UNIX mail servers and different MTAs.

The configuration file must contain sections with parameters which specify interaction between Dr.Web for UNIX mail servers and used MTA. If Dr.Web for UNIX mail servers operates in mail filtering mode, the configuration file must also contain the [POP3] or [IMAP] section, depending on the used protocol.

Depending on the MTA, Dr.Web MailD uses different modules that perform functions of Sender and Receiver components. The following table lists MTAs that can be integrated with Dr.Web for UNIX mail servers. For every MTA, the corresponding modules and sections of the configuration file are specified.
