Operating Principles

The Dr.Web Mail Quarantine component serves two main purposes:

•Storing message queues and metadata on the hard disk during Dr.Web MailD message scans. Email messages are stored as files; their metadata is stored in an SQLite relational database. Storing of messages is required for SMTP and BCC modes.

•Redirection of a message to the Dr.Web MailD component after a certain time-out if an error occurs during the message processing (for instance, if the message could not be resent). The component ensures that the processed message gets delivered to the МТА.

The Dr.Web Mail Quarantine component cannot be started by the user in standalone mode. This component is started by the Dr.Web ConfigD configuration management daemon upon request of other components.
