A.2. The 

ap-mailfilter

 program 

(filtering process) command 
line parameters 

The  ap-mailfilter program (filtering process) is launched by the master process. 
When launching a filtering process the master process supplies to such process 
the command line parameters set by the FilterParam parameter in the master 
process configuration file. 

The ap-mailfilter program supports the following command line switches: 

General parameters 

 – operation in the client-server mode. The use of this switch is mandatory 

for working with all Kaspersky Anti-Spam 2.0 client modules. 

 – full path to the folder with data 

(filtering database, compiled profiles). The default value is: /usr/local/ap-
mailfilter/conf/data

. 

 – full path to the socket file used 

for connection to the kas-licence licensing service. The default value is: 
/usr/local/ap-mailfilter/run/kas-license

. 

Timeout values 

 – maximum allowable time (in seconds) for the 

spare filtering process to remain in the idle mode: if the process has not 
received a new message to process within the specified time, it will be 
stopped. The default value is: 300. 

 – maximum allowable waiting time (in seconds) 

for receiving data from the client while processing a message: if not a 
byte of data has been received within this time, the processing of the 
current message will be stopped. The default value is: 30.
