6.2. User Specic Conguration
User Specic Conguration mechanism is implemented in the product in order to provide
administrator with enhanced conguration functionality. It allows to dene ESETS anti-virus
scanner parameters selectively for client/server identication.
Please note that the detailed description of this functionality can be found in esets.cfg(5)
manual page and manual pages referenced there. Thus in this section we will only provide short
example of user specic conguration denition.
Let’s say we use esets_smtp module as a content lter for MTA Postx. The module is subjected
to conguration section [smtp] in ESETS conguration le. The section is as follows:
[smtp]
agent_enabled = yes
listen_addr = ”localhost”
listen_port = 2526
server_addr = ”localhost”
server_port = 2525
action_av = ”scan”
Inordertoprovideindividualparameterssettingonehastodene‘user_cong’parameter
with the path to the special conguration le where the individual setting will be stored. In the
nextexamplewecreatereferencetothespecialcongurationle‘esets_smtp_spec.cfg’located
within the ESETS conguration directory.
[smtp]
agent_enabled = yes
listen_addr = ”localhost”
listen_port = 2526
server_addr = ”localhost”
server_port = 2525
action_av = ”scan”
  user_cong=”esets_smtp_spec.cfg”
Once special conguration le referenced from within [smtp] section we have to create this
le in the ESETS conguration directory and provide it with an appropriate individual settings
[rcptuser@rcptdomain.com]
action_av = ”reject”
Note that the section header name of the special section contains identication of the
recipient for which we have created the individual setting. The section body then contains
individual parameters specied for this identication. Thus with this special conguration all
e-mails will be processed, i.e. scanned for inltrations, with exception of the e-mails sent to
rcptuser@rcptdomain.com that will be rejected without scanning.
