## Chapter 4 Kerio MailServer Components

Kerio MailServer consists of the following components:

Kerio MailServer Engine

  is the core of the program that provides all services and functions. It runs as a background application (as a service on Windows, or as a daemon on UNIX-like systems).

  The Kerio MailServer Engine also includes the `avserver` and `spamserver` processes which run separately that maintain the antivirus plug-in and theSpamAssassin antispam module (details in section 4.2 Standalone processes of the server).

Kerio MailServer Monitor

  With this application you can monitor the Engine and Monitor applications, you can switch the engine's on/off status, edit startup preferences or launch the administration console. Details can be found in chapter 4.1 Kerio MailServer Monitor.

  ### Note

  Kerio MailServer Monitor is an application completely independent of the Kerio MailServer Engine (it is running in background or as a service).

Kerio Administration Console

  is a universal program designed for local or remote administration of Kerio Technologies products. To connect to a certain application a module containing a specific interface for this application is needed. During Kerio MailServer installation the Kerio Administration Console is installed together with the appropriate plugin. Kerio Administration Console and its usage are described in detail in chapter 5 Kerio MailServer Administration.

Performance Monitor

  This component allows for real time system performance monitoring of KMS components. For more details, see chapter 25.10 Performance Monitor (under Windows). This module is available under MS Windows operating systems only.
