Depending on your MTA, continue the installation as described in
Other installation steps depending on the MTA – Page19.
Avira AntiVir MailGate is installed under

.
You can now start Avira AntiVir MailGate:
/usr/lib/AntiVir/mailgate/avmailgate start
4.4 Reinstalling or uninstalling Avira AntiVir MailGate
You can re-access the installation script at any time. This enables the following
procedures:
• Installation of a new version (upgrade). The installation script first
checks the previous version and installs the requisite new components.
The existing configuration settings are not overwritten but inherited
(Configuration – Page24).
• Subsequent installation of individual components.
• Enabling and disabling of Avira Updater and Avira AntiVir MailGate automatic
start-up.
Warning: Modified binary files cannot start.
For example, with prelink: either deactivate prelink, or enter
/usr/lib/AntiVir/mailgate as an exception in the configuration file /etc/prelink.conf.
Warning: From Version 3.0.0 onwards, a new Scanner backend has been used. If you
have been using a MailGate version older than 3.0.0, please note that in the current
MailGate version, some scanner-specific configuration options are now specified
in avmailgate-scanner.conf and not in avmailgate.conf.
We recommend that you perform an update immediately after installation to ensure
all protection mechanisms are up-to-date. To do this, execute the following command:
/usr/lib/AntiVir/mailgate/avupdate-mailgate
Further information on updates is available in Updates – Page108.
