The component cannot be launched directly from line of the operating system in an autonomous mode (autonomously from other components). It is launched automatically by the Dr.Web ConfigD configuration daemon when receiving requests on mail objects scanning from other components of Dr.Web for UNIX. To manage the operation of the component, as well as to scan mail objects when needed, you can use the Dr.Web Ctl command-line-based management tool for Dr.Web for UNIX (it is launched by using the drweb-ctl command).

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

To request documentation about this component of the product from the command line, use the following command man 1 drweb-maild

The product described in the present document is designed for operation in different UNIX-based operating system. Real paths to product files depend on the operating system installed on the user’s computer. For notational convenience, the following conventions are used:

•<opt_dir>—directory where main product files are located (including executable files and libraries).

•<etc_dir>—directory where the configuration file and a key file are located.

•<var_dir>—directory where supporting and temporary product files are located.

Real paths corresponding to the conventions in different operating systems are given in the table below.

OS Type	Convention	Real Path
GNU/Linux, Solaris	<opt_dir>	/opt/drweb.com
	<etc_dir>	/etc/opt/drweb.com
	<var_dir>	/var/opt/drweb.com
FreeBSD	<opt_dir>	/usr/local/libexec/drweb.com
	<etc_dir>	/usr/local/etc/drweb.com
	<var_dir>	/var/drweb.com

For space considerations, examples use paths for GNU/Linux operating systems. In some places of the document, where it is possible, examples contain real paths for all of the operating systems.
