Startup Notes

The option of launching the component directly from command line in stand-alone mode is not provided. It is run automatically by Dr.Web ASE component during spam checks of emails. Besides, if in component configuration the FixedSocketPath parameter values is defined, then one component copy will be constantly run by Dr.Web ConfigD configuration daemon and will be available for user through this UNIX-socket. To manage component parameters as well as mail objects checks, use Dr.Web Ctl utility, designed for managing Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers from command line (is run by the command drweb-ctl).

To scan the arbitrary email message by the Dr.Web ASE component on spam (through the Dr.Web MailD component call), you can use the command checkmail of the tool Dr.Web Ctl. To do that, save the scanned email message on a drive (for example, in the .eml format) and use the command:

$ drweb-ctl checkmail <path to file .eml>

To request manual about this component from the command line, use the man 1 drweb-ase command
