Kaspersky Lab kaspersky anti-spam 2.0 Manual

6.1. Selecting the source of the 

content filtering database 
update  

The content filtering database update settings are stored in the updater script 
configuration file – /usr/local/ap-mailfilter/conf/src/updater.ini (see para 

A.5, 

page 125 for more details). You can change the database update source by 
editing the settings.  

By default, the updates are downloaded via the Internet from the Kaspersky Lab 
website (

ftp://downloads1.kaspersky-labs.com/sfupdaters

). This update mode is 

conditioned by the download value of the METHOD parameter. You should edit 
the value of the URL parameter to change the update address. For example: 

 

If you need to update the content filtering database on several computers it is 
more convenient to obtain the database once, save it to a folder, and then 
update the database from this folder, rather than updating it repeatedly via the 
Internet. To select this source of updating you should set the METHOD 
parameter to copy  and specify the full path to the folder as a value of the 
UPDATE_PATH

 parameter. For example: 

6.2. Launching the updating process 

There are two ways to update the content filtering database; automatic 
scheduled launch or manual launch from the command line. 

 

We strongly recommend that you schedule automated update as it 
allows using the newest data provided by Ashmanov & Partners 
linguistic laboratory during the filtering process and ensures the highest 
efficiency of spam filtering.
