Configuration files


MIMEsweeper uses a number of configuration files to control its operation.

Each configuration file (MSW\CONFIG\*.CFG), contains a number of configuration sections, starting with the section name in square brackets and finishing with a blank line.

For example:

[SectionName]

The configuration section may contain a number of directives.1 Each directive comprises a name and a value, separated by an equals sign. Multiple values are separated by a comma.

For example:

[SectionName]
entry1=value1
entry2=value2, value3

A configuration file may also contain comments. A comment is denoted by a semicolon at the start of the line.

For example:

; This is a comment in a configuration file.

The comment finishes at the end of the line.

Several directives use common constructs, such as quoted strings. These constructs are explained in the following section.

The built-in validator AMUcheck (MAILsweeper only) and the plug-in validator VALLEX each have their own configuration files, with unique syntax and semantics.

1 A configuration section need not contain any directives, in which case it is represented by the section name only.
