Conflicting Software
Kerio MailServer runs on the application layer and there are not any known low-level conflicts with other software, operating system components or device drivers (except the antivirus that is used to open files). If a received email message includes an infected attachment, the mail server stores it into a temporary file on the disc. Antivirus might damage the disc or the system. To prevent your computer from such failure, deny your antivirus to the file (or the disc) where Kerio MailServer data is kept.
If Kerio MailServer is run on a firewall or on a secured local network behind a firewall, the firewall will affect the mail server's behavior to a certain extent (e.g. accessibility of some or all services). When configuring the firewall take into consideration which services should be accessible from the Internet or the local network and enable communication on appropriate ports (see above or chapters Services and Firewall for more detail).
