3 ##################################################
5 # This is the template for Exim's main build-time configuration file. It
6 # contains settings that are independent of any operating system. These are
7 # things that are mostly sysadmin choices. The items below are divided into
8 # those you must specify, those you probably want to specify, those you might
9 # often want to specify, and those that you almost never need to mention.
11 # Edit this file and save the result to a file called Local/Makefile within the
12 # Exim distribution directory before running the "make" command.
14 # Things that depend on the operating system have default settings in
15 # OS/Makefile-Default, but these are overridden for some OS by files
16 # called OS/Makefile-<osname>. You can further override these settings by
17 # creating files Local/Makefile-<osname>, and Local/Makefile-<build>.
18 # The suffix "<osname>" stands for the name of your operating system - look
19 # at the names in the OS directory to see which names are recognized,
20 # and "<build>" is the content of the environment variable "build".
22 # However, if you are building Exim for a single OS only, you don't need to
23 # worry about setting up Local/Makefile-<osname>. Any build-time configuration
24 # settings you require can in fact be placed in the one file called
25 # Local/Makefile. It is only if you are building for several OS from the same
26 # source files that you need to worry about splitting off your own OS-dependent
27 # settings into separate files. (There's more explanation about how this all
28 # works in the toplevel README file, under "Modifying the building process", as
29 # well as in the Exim specification.)
31 # One OS-specific thing that may need to be changed is the command for running
32 # the C compiler; the overall default is gcc, but some OS Makefiles specify cc.
33 # You can override anything that is set by putting CC=whatever in your
36 # NOTE: You should never need to edit any of the distributed Makefiles; all
37 # overriding can be done in your Local/Makefile(s). This will make it easier
38 # for you when the next release comes along.
40 # The location of the X11 libraries is something else that is quite variable
41 # even between different versions of the same operating system (and indeed
42 # there are different versions of X11 as well, of course). The four settings
43 # concerned here are X11, XINCLUDE, XLFLAGS (linking flags) and X11_LD_LIB
44 # (dynamic run-time library). You need not worry about X11 unless you want to
45 # compile the Exim monitor utility. Exim itself does not use X11.
47 # Another area of variability between systems is the type and location of the
48 # DBM library package. Exim has support for ndbm, gdbm, tdb, and Berkeley DB.
49 # By default the code assumes ndbm; this often works with gdbm or DB, provided
50 # they are correctly installed, via their compatibility interfaces. However,
51 # Exim can also be configured to use the native calls for Berkeley DB (obsolete
52 # versions 1.85, 2.x, 3.x, or the current 4.x version) and also for gdbm.
54 # For some operating systems, a default DBM library (other than ndbm) is
55 # selected by a setting in the OS-specific Makefile. Most modern OS now have
56 # a DBM library installed as standard, and in many cases this will be selected
57 # for you by the OS-specific configuration. If Exim compiles without any
58 # problems, you probably do not have to worry about the DBM library. If you
59 # do want or need to change it, you should first read the discussion in the
60 # file doc/dbm.discuss.txt, which also contains instructions for testing Exim's
61 # interface to the DBM library.
63 # In Local/Makefiles blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored. It is
64 # also permitted to use the # character to add a comment to a setting, for
67 # EXIM_GID=42 # the "mail" group
69 # However, with some versions of "make" this works only if there is no white
70 # space between the end of the setting and the #, so perhaps it is best
71 # avoided. A consequence of this facility is that it is not possible to have
72 # the # character present in any setting, but I can't think of any cases where
73 # this would be wanted.

79 # THESE ARE THINGS YOU MUST SPECIFY #
80 ###############################################################################
82 # Exim will not build unless you specify BIN_DIRECTORY, CONFIGURE_FILE, and
83 # EXIM_USER. You also need EXIM_GROUP if EXIM_USER specifies a uid by number.
85 # If you don't specify SPOOL_DIRECTORY, Exim won't fail to build. However, it
86 # really is a very good idea to specify it here rather than at run time. This
87 # is particularly true if you let the logs go to their default location in the
88 # spool directory, because it means that the location of the logs is known
89 # before Exim has read the run time configuration file.
91 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
92 # BIN_DIRECTORY defines where the exim binary will be installed by "make
93 # install". The path is also used internally by Exim when it needs to re-invoke
94 # itself, either to send an error message, or to recover root privilege. Exim's
95 # utility binaries and scripts are also installed in this directory. There is
96 # no "standard" place for the binary directory. Some people like to keep all
97 # the Exim files under one directory such as /usr/exim; others just let the
98 # Exim binaries go into an existing directory such as /usr/sbin or
99 # /usr/local/sbin. The installation script will try to create this directory,
100 # and any superior directories, if they do not exist.
102 BIN_DIRECTORY=/usr/exim/bin
105 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
106 # CONFIGURE_FILE defines where Exim's run time configuration file is to be
107 # found. It is the complete pathname for the file, not just a directory. The
108 # location of all other run time files and directories can be changed in the
109 # run time configuration file. There is a lot of variety in the choice of
110 # location in different OS, and in the preferences of different sysadmins. Some
111 # common locations are in /etc or /etc/mail or /usr/local/etc or
112 # /usr/local/etc/mail. Another possibility is to keep all the Exim files under
113 # a single directory such as /usr/exim. Whatever you choose, the installation
114 # script will try to make the directory and any superior directories if they
115 # don't exist. It will also install a default runtime configuration if this
116 # file does not exist.
118 CONFIGURE_FILE=/usr/exim/configure
120 # It is possible to specify a colon-separated list of files for CONFIGURE_FILE.
121 # In this case, Exim will use the first of them that exists when it is run.
122 # However, if a list is specified, the installation script no longer tries to
123 # make superior directories or to install a default runtime configuration.
126 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
127 # The Exim binary must normally be setuid root, so that it starts executing as
128 # root, but (depending on the options with which it is called) it does not
129 # always need to retain the root privilege. These settings define the user and
130 # group that is used for Exim processes when they no longer need to be root. In
131 # particular, this applies when receiving messages and when doing remote
132 # deliveries. (Local deliveries run as various non-root users, typically as the
133 # owner of a local mailbox.) Specifying these values as root is not supported.
137 # If you specify EXIM_USER as a name, this is looked up at build time, and the
138 # uid number is built into the binary. However, you can specify that this
139 # lookup is deferred until runtime. In this case, it is the name that is built
140 # into the binary. You can do this by a setting of the form:
144 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user name. If you set EXIM_USER
145 # like this, any value specified for EXIM_GROUP is also passed "by reference".
146 # Although this costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use
147 # this feature when building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems
148 # where the name may refer to different uids. It also allows you to build Exim
149 # on a system where there is no Exim user defined.
151 # If the setting of EXIM_USER is numeric (e.g. EXIM_USER=42), there must
152 # also be a setting of EXIM_GROUP. If, on the other hand, you use a name
153 # for EXIM_USER (e.g. EXIM_USER=exim), you don't need to set EXIM_GROUP unless
154 # you want to use a group other than the default group for the given user.
158 # Many sites define a user called "exim", with an appropriate default group,
163 # while leaving EXIM_GROUP unspecified (commented out).
166 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
167 # SPOOL_DIRECTORY defines the directory where all the data for messages in
168 # transit is kept. It is strongly recommended that you define it here, though
169 # it is possible to leave this till the run time configuration.
171 # Exim creates the spool directory if it does not exist. The owner and group
172 # will be those defined by EXIM_USER and EXIM_GROUP, and this also applies to
173 # all the files and directories that are created in the spool directory.
175 # Almost all installations choose this:
177 SPOOL_DIRECTORY=/var/spool/exim

184 # Exim is built by default to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
185 # Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This requires you
186 # must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
187 # no cryptographic code of its own.
189 # If you are running Exim as a (TLS) server, just building it with TLS support
190 # is all you need to do, as tls_advertise_hosts is set to '*' by
191 # default. But you are advised to create a suiteable certificate, and tell
192 # Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate and tls_privatekey run
193 # time options, otherwise Exim will create a self signed certificate on
194 # the fly. If you are running Exim only as a (TLS) client, building it with
195 # TLS support is all you need to do.
197 # If you are using pkg-config then you should not need to worry where
198 # the libraries and headers are installed, as the pkg-config .pc
199 # specification should include all -L/-I information necessary.
200 # Enabling the USE_*_PC options should be sufficient. If not using
201 # pkg-config, then you have to specify the libraries, and you might
202 # need to specify the locations too.
204 # Uncomment the following lines if you want
205 # to build Exim without any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS):
207 # Unless you do this, you must define one of USE_OPENSSL or USE_GNUTLS
210 # If you are building with TLS, the library configuration must be done:

230 # If using GnuTLS older than 2.10 and using pkg-config then note that Exim's
231 # build process will require libgcrypt-config to exist in your $PATH. A
232 # version that old is likely to become unsupported by Exim in 2017.
234 # The security fix we provide with the gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 option
235 # (4.82 PP/09) introduces a compatibility regression. The symbol is
236 # not available if GnuTLS is build without p11-kit (--without-p11-kit
237 # configure option). In this case use AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes when
239 # AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes
241 # If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
242 # support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
243 # certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
244 # and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
245 # to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
246 # if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
247 # is all you need to do.
249 # If you are using pkg-config then you should not need to worry where the
250 # libraries and headers are installed, as the pkg-config .pc specification
251 # should include all -L/-I information necessary. If not using pkg-config
252 # then you might need to specify the locations too.
254 # Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
255 # GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
256 # with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
257 # need something like
259 # TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto

265 # TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
267 # TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
268 # auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
269 # set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:

637 # The items in this section are those that are commonly changed according to
638 # the sysadmin's preferences, but whose defaults are often acceptable. The
639 # first five are concerned with security issues, where differing levels of
640 # paranoia are appropriate in different environments. Sysadmins also vary in
641 # their views on appropriate levels of defence in these areas. If you do not
642 # understand these issues, go with the defaults, which are used by many sites.
645 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
646 # Although Exim is normally a setuid program, owned by root, it refuses to run
647 # local deliveries as root by default. There is a runtime option called
648 # "never_users" which lists the users that must never be used for local
649 # deliveries. There is also the setting below, which provides a list that
650 # cannot be overridden at runtime. This guards against problems caused by
651 # unauthorized changes to the runtime configuration. You are advised not to
652 # remove "root" from this option, but you can add other users if you want. The
653 # list is colon-separated. It must NOT contain any spaces.
655 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root:bin:daemon
656 FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root
659 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
660 # By default, Exim insists that its configuration file be owned by root. You
661 # can specify one additional permitted owner here.
665 # If the configuration file is group-writeable, Exim insists by default that it
666 # is owned by root. You can specify one additional permitted group owner here.
670 # If you specify CONFIGURE_OWNER or CONFIGURE_GROUP as a name, this is looked
671 # up at build time, and the uid or gid number is built into the binary.
672 # However, you can specify that the lookup is deferred until runtime. In this
673 # case, it is the name that is built into the binary. You can do this by a
674 # setting of the form:
676 # CONFIGURE_OWNER=ref:mail
677 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=ref:sysadmin
679 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user or group name. Although this
680 # costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use this feature when
681 # building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems where the names may
682 # refer to different uids or gids. It also allows you to build Exim on a system
683 # where the relevant user or group is not defined.
686 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
687 # The -C option allows Exim to be run with an alternate runtime configuration
688 # file. When this is used by root, root privilege is retained by the binary
689 # (for any other caller including the Exim user, it is dropped). You can
690 # restrict the location of alternate configurations by defining a prefix below.
691 # Any file used with -C must then start with this prefix (except that /dev/null
692 # is also permitted if the caller is root, because that is used in the install
693 # script). If the prefix specifies a directory that is owned by root, a
694 # compromise of the Exim account does not permit arbitrary alternate
695 # configurations to be used. The prefix can be more restrictive than just a
696 # directory (the second example).
698 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/
699 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/exim.conf-
702 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
703 # When a user other than root uses the -C option to override the configuration
704 # file (including the Exim user when re-executing Exim to regain root
705 # privileges for local message delivery), this will normally cause Exim to
706 # drop root privileges. The TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST option, specifies a file which
707 # contains a list of trusted configuration filenames, one per line. If the -C
708 # option is used by the Exim user or by the user specified in the
709 # CONFIGURE_OWNER setting, to specify a configuration file which is listed in
710 # the TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file, then root privileges are not dropped by Exim.
712 # TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST=/usr/exim/trusted_configs
715 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
716 # Uncommenting this option disables the use of the -D command line option,
717 # which changes the values of macros in the runtime configuration file.
718 # This is another protection against somebody breaking into the Exim account.
720 # DISABLE_D_OPTION=yes
723 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
724 # By contrast, you might be maintaining a system which relies upon the ability
725 # to override values with -D and assumes that these will be passed through to
726 # the delivery processes. As of Exim 4.73, this is no longer the case by
727 # default. Going forward, we strongly recommend that you use a shim Exim
728 # configuration file owned by root stored under TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST.
729 # That shim can set macros before .include'ing your main configuration file.
731 # As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
732 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS value defines a colon-separated list of macro-names
733 # which are permitted to be overridden from the command-line which will be
734 # honoured by the Exim user. So these are macros that can persist to delivery
736 # Examples might be -DTLS or -DSPOOL=/some/dir. The values on the
737 # command-line are filtered to only permit: [A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*
739 # This option is highly likely to be removed in a future release. It exists
740 # only to make 4.73 as easy as possible to migrate to. If you use it, we
741 # encourage you to schedule time to rework your configuration to not depend
742 # upon it. Most people should not need to use this.
744 # By default, no macros are whitelisted for -D usage.
746 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS=TLS:SPOOL
748 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
749 # Exim has support for the AUTH (authentication) extension of the SMTP
750 # protocol, as defined by RFC 2554. If you don't know what SMTP authentication
751 # is, you probably won't want to include this code, so you should leave these
752 # settings commented out. If you do want to make use of SMTP authentication,
753 # you must uncomment at least one of the following, so that appropriate code is
754 # included in the Exim binary. You will then need to set up the run time
755 # configuration to make use of the mechanism(s) selected.
758 # AUTH_CYRUS_SASL=yes
762 # AUTH_GSASL_PC=libgsasl
763 # AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI=yes
764 # AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI_PC=heimdal-gssapi
765 # AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI_PC=heimdal-gssapi heimdal-krb5
770 # Heimdal through 1.5 required pkg-config 'heimdal-gssapi'; Heimdal 7.1
771 # requires multiple pkg-config files to work with Exim, so the second example
774 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
775 # If you specified AUTH_CYRUS_SASL above, you should ensure that you have the
776 # Cyrus SASL library installed before trying to build Exim, and you probably
777 # want to uncomment the first line below.
778 # Similarly for GNU SASL, unless pkg-config is used via AUTH_GSASL_PC.
779 # Ditto for AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI(_PC).
783 # AUTH_LIBS=-lgssapi -lheimntlm -lkrb5 -lhx509 -lcom_err -lhcrypto -lasn1 -lwind -lroken -lcrypt
785 # If using AUTH_GSASL with SCRAM methods, you should also be defining
786 # SUPPORT_I18N to get standards-conformant support of utf8 normalization.
789 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
790 # When Exim is decoding MIME "words" in header lines, most commonly for use
791 # in the $header_xxx expansion, it converts any foreign character sets to the
792 # one that is set in the headers_charset option. The default setting is
793 # defined by this setting:
795 HEADERS_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"
797 # If you are going to make use of $header_xxx expansions in your configuration
798 # file, or if your users are going to use them in filter files, and the normal
799 # character set on your host is something other than ISO-8859-1, you might
800 # like to specify a different default here. This value can be overridden in
801 # the runtime configuration, and it can also be overridden in individual filter
804 # IMPORTANT NOTE: The iconv() function is needed for character code
805 # conversions. Please see the next item...
808 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
809 # Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
810 # installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
811 # is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
812 # the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
813 # as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
817 # If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
818 # need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
819 # and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
820 # something like this:
823 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
824 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
826 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
829 # nb: FreeBSD as of 4.89 defines LIBICONV_PLUG to pick up the system iconv
830 # more reliably. If you explicitly want the libiconv Port then as well
831 # as adding -liconv you'll want to unset LIBICONV_PLUG. If you actually need
832 # this, let us know, but for now the Exim Maintainers are assuming that this
833 # is uncommon and so you'll need to edit OS/os.h-FreeBSD yourself to remove
837 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
838 # The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
839 # function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
840 # "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
841 # configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
842 # operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
843 # 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
844 # supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.
846 # You can always indicate a crypt16-encrypted password by preceding it with
847 # "{crypt16}". If you want the default handling (without any preceding
848 # indicator) to use crypt16(), uncomment the following line:
850 # DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16
852 # If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding
853 # an encrypted password with "{crypt}". For more details, see the description
854 # of the "crypteq" condition in the manual chapter on string expansions.
856 # Some operating systems do not include a crypt16() function, so Exim has one
857 # of its own, which it uses unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined. Normally, that will
858 # be set in an OS-specific Makefile for the OS that have such a function, so
859 # you should not need to bother with it.
861 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
862 # It turns out that the above is not entirely accurate. As well as crypt16()
863 # there is a function called bigcrypt() that some operating systems have. This
864 # may or may not use the same algorithm, and both of them may be different to
865 # Exim's built-in crypt16() that is used unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined.
867 # However, since there is now a move away from the traditional crypt()
868 # functions towards using SHA1 and other algorithms, tidying up this area of
869 # Exim is seen as very low priority. In practice, if you need to, you can
870 # define DEFAULT_CRYPT to the name of any function that has the same interface
871 # as the traditional crypt() function.
872 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
875 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
876 # The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
877 # documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
878 # the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
879 # sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
880 # with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
881 # version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
882 # because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
883 # example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball unpacks into a
884 # directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
885 # In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
886 # have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
887 # directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
888 # Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and
889 # install them in the directory you have defined.
891 # INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info
894 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
895 # Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
896 # single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
897 # log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
898 # called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
899 # the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
900 # this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
901 # %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
902 # to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
904 # LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
906 # which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
907 # in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
908 # it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
909 # of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
910 # must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
912 # You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
913 # files, by settings such as these
915 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
916 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
918 # The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes
919 # to log files. Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up
920 # the building process.
923 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
924 # When logging to syslog, the following option caters for syslog replacements
925 # that are able to accept log entries longer than the 1024 characters allowed
926 # by RFC 3164. It is up to you to make sure your syslog daemon can handle this.
927 # Non-printable characters are usually unacceptable regardless, so log entries
928 # are still split on newline characters.
930 # SYSLOG_LONG_LINES=yes
932 # If you are not interested in the process identifier (pid) of the Exim that is
933 # making the call to syslog, then comment out the following line.
938 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
939 # Cycling log files: this variable specifies the maximum number of old
940 # log files that are kept by the exicyclog log-cycling script. You don't have
941 # to use exicyclog. If your operating system has other ways of cycling log
942 # files, you can use them instead. The exicyclog script isn't run by default;
943 # you have to set up a cron job for it if you want it.
948 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
949 # The compress command is used by the exicyclog script to compress old log
950 # files. Both the name of the command and the suffix that it adds to files
951 # need to be defined here. See also the EXICYCLOG_MAX configuration.
953 COMPRESS_COMMAND=/usr/bin/gzip
957 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
958 # If the exigrep utility is fed compressed log files, it tries to uncompress
959 # them using this command.
961 # Leave it empty to enforce autodetection at runtime:
964 # Omit the path if you want to use your system's PATH:

971 # Compiling in support for embedded Perl: If you want to be able to
972 # use Perl code in Exim's string manipulation language and you have Perl
973 # (version 5.004 or later) installed, set EXIM_PERL to perl.o. Using embedded
974 # Perl costs quite a lot of resources. Only do this if you really need it.
979 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
980 # Support for dynamically-loaded string expansion functions via ${dlfunc. If
981 # you are using gcc the dynamically-loaded object must be compiled with the
982 # -shared option, and you will need to add -export-dynamic to EXTRALIBS so
983 # that the local_scan API is made available by the linker. You may also need
984 # to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS so that dlopen() is available to Exim.
989 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
990 # Exim has support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules), a facility
991 # which is available in the latest releases of Solaris and in some GNU/Linux
992 # distributions (see http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/). The Exim
993 # support, which is intended for use in conjunction with the SMTP AUTH
994 # facilities, is included only when requested by the following setting:
998 # You probably need to add -lpam to EXTRALIBS, and in some releases of
999 # GNU/Linux -ldl is also needed.

1022 # You need to have the IDN library installed.
1023 # If you want IDNA2008 mappings per RFCs 5890, 6530 and 6533, you additionally

1043 # Support for authentication via Radius is also available. The Exim support,
1044 # which is intended for use in conjunction with the SMTP AUTH facilities,
1045 # is included only when requested by setting the following parameter to the
1046 # location of your Radius configuration file:
1048 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
1049 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radius.conf
1051 # If you have set RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE, you should also set one of these to
1052 # indicate which RADIUS library is used:
1054 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENT
1055 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENTNEW
1056 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADLIB
1058 # RADIUSCLIENT is the radiusclient library; you probably need to add
1059 # -lradiusclient to EXTRALIBS.
1061 # The API for the radiusclient library was changed at release 0.4.0.
1062 # Unfortunately, the header file does not define a version number that clients
1063 # can use to support both the old and new APIs. If you are using version 0.4.0
1064 # or later of the radiusclient library, you should use RADIUSCLIENTNEW.
1066 # RADLIB is the Radius library that comes with FreeBSD (the header file is
1067 # called radlib.h); you probably need to add -lradius to EXTRALIBS.
1069 # If you do not set RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, Exim assumes the radiusclient library,
1070 # using the original API.
1073 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1074 # Support for authentication via the Cyrus SASL pwcheck daemon is available.
1075 # Note, however, that pwcheck is now deprecated in favour of saslauthd (see

1133 # The default action of the exim_install script (which is run by "make

1135 # exim-4.43-1, and then set up a symbolic link called "exim" to reference it,
1136 # moving the symbolic link from any previous version. If you define NO_SYMLINK
1137 # (the value doesn't matter), the symbolic link is not created or moved. You
1138 # will then have to "turn Exim on" by setting up the link manually.
1143 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1144 # Another default action of the install script is to install a default runtime
1145 # configuration file if one does not exist. This configuration has a router for
1146 # expanding system aliases. The default assumes that these aliases are kept
1147 # in the traditional file called /etc/aliases. If such a file does not exist,
1148 # the installation script creates one that contains just comments (no actual

1158 # are read using the standard fgets() function. This does not support line
1159 # editing during interactive input (though the terminal's "erase" character
1160 # works as normal). If your operating system has the readline() function, and
1161 # in addition supports dynamic loading of library functions, you can cause
1162 # Exim to use readline() for the -be testing option (only) by uncommenting the
1163 # following setting. Dynamic loading is used so that the library is loaded only
1164 # when the -be testing option is given; by the time the loading occurs,
1165 # Exim has given up its root privilege and is running as the calling user. This
1166 # is the reason why readline() is NOT supported for -bt and -bv, because Exim
1167 # runs as root or as exim, respectively, for those options. When USE_READLINE
1168 # is "yes", as well as supporting line editing, a history of input lines in the
1169 # current run is maintained.
1173 # You may need to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS when you set USE_READLINE=yes.
1174 # Note that this option adds to the size of the Exim binary, because the
1175 # dynamic loading library is not otherwise included.
1177 # If libreadline is not in the normal library paths, then because Exim is
1178 # setuid you'll need to ensure that the correct directory is stamped into
1179 # the binary so that dlopen will find it.
1180 # Eg, on macOS/Darwin with a third-party install of libreadline, perhaps:
1182 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM+=-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/opt/readline/lib

1200 # ultimate default settings, or the OS-specific files should already point to
1201 # the right place, but they can be overridden here if necessary. These settings
1202 # are used when building various scripts to ensure that the correct paths are
1203 # used when the scripts are run. They are not used in the Makefile itself. Perl
1204 # is not necessary for running Exim unless you set EXIM_PERL (see above) to get
1205 # it embedded, but there are some utilities that are Perl scripts. If you

1220 # of functions. By default the "ar" command is used, with options "cq".
1221 # Only in rare circumstances should you need to change this.
1226 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1227 # In some operating systems, the value of the TMPDIR environment variable
1228 # controls where temporary files are created. Exim does not make use of
1229 # temporary files, except when delivering to MBX mailboxes. However, if Exim
1230 # calls any external libraries (e.g. DBM libraries), they may use temporary
1231 # files, and thus be influenced by the value of TMPDIR. For this reason, when
1232 # Exim starts, it checks the environment for TMPDIR, and if it finds it is set,
1233 # it replaces the value with what is defined here. Commenting this setting
1234 # suppresses the check altogether. Older installations call this macro
1235 # just TMPDIR, but this has side effects at build time. At runtime
1236 # TMPDIR is checked as before.
1241 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1242 # The following macros can be used to change the default modes that are used
1243 # by the appendfile transport. In most installations the defaults are just
1244 # fine, and in any case, you can change particular instances of the transport
1245 # at run time if you want.

1253 # In some installations there may be multiple machines sharing file systems,
1254 # where a different configuration file is required for Exim on the different
1255 # machines. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE is defined, then Exim will first look
1256 # for a configuration file whose name is that defined by CONFIGURE_FILE,
1257 # with the node name obtained by uname() tacked on the end, separated by a
1258 # period (for example, /usr/exim/configure.host.in.some.domain). If this file
1259 # does not exist, then the bare configuration file name is tried.
1261 # CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE=yes
1264 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1265 # In some esoteric configurations two different versions of Exim are run,
1266 # with different setuid values, and different configuration files are required
1267 # to handle the different cases. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID is defined, then
1268 # Exim will first look for a configuration file whose name is that defined
1269 # by CONFIGURE_FILE, with the effective uid tacked on the end, separated by
1270 # a period (for example, /usr/exim/configure.0). If this file does not exist,
1271 # then the bare configuration file name is tried. In the case when both
1272 # CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID and CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE are set, four files
1273 # are tried: <name>.<euid>.<node>, <name>.<node>, <name>.<euid>, and <name>.

1297 # Database file mode: The mode of files created in the "db" directory defaults

1312 # This parameter sets the maximum length of the header portion of a message
1313 # that Exim is prepared to process. The default setting is one megabyte. The
1314 # limit exists in order to catch rogue mailers that might connect to your SMTP
1315 # port, start off a header line, and then just pump junk at it for ever. The
1316 # message_size_limit option would also catch this, but it may not be set.
1317 # The value set here is the default; it can be changed at runtime.
1319 # HEADER_MAXSIZE="(1024*1024)"
1322 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1323 # The mode of the input directory: The input directory is where messages are

1345 # The TESTDB lookup is for performing tests on the handling of lookup results,

1370 # Network interfaces: Unless you set the local_interfaces option in the runtime
1371 # configuration file to restrict Exim to certain interfaces only, it will run
1372 # code to find all the interfaces there are on your host. Unfortunately,
1373 # the call to the OS that does this requires a buffer large enough to hold
1374 # data for all the interfaces - it was designed in the days when a host rarely
1375 # had more than three or four interfaces. Nowadays hosts can have very many
1376 # virtual interfaces running on the same hardware. If you have more than 250
1377 # virtual interfaces, you will need to uncomment this setting and increase the

1384 # Per-message logs: While a message is in the process of being delivered,
1385 # comments on its progress are written to a message log, for the benefit of
1386 # human administrators. These logs are held in a directory called "msglog"
1387 # in the spool directory. Its mode defaults to 0750, but can be changed here.
1388 # The message log directory is also used for storing files that are used by
1389 # transports for returning data to a message's sender (see the "return_output"
1390 # option for transports).
1392 # MSGLOG_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750
1395 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1396 # There are three options which are used when compiling the Perl interface and
1397 # when linking with Perl. The default values for these are placed automatically
1398 # at the head of the Makefile by the script which builds it. However, if you
1399 # want to override them, you can do so here.
1406 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1407 # If you wish to disable valgrind in the binary, define NVALGRIND=1.
1408 # This should not be needed.
1412 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1413 # Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid
1414 # (process id) to a file so that it can easily be identified. The path of the
1415 # file can be specified here. Some installations may want something like this:
1417 # PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim.pid
1419 # If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory
1420 # using the name "exim-daemon.pid".
1422 # If you start up a daemon without the -bd option (for example, with just
1423 # the -q15m option), a pid file is not written. Also, if you override the
1424 # configuration file with the -oX option, no pid file is written. In other
1425 # words, the pid file is written only for a "standard" daemon.
1428 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1432 # SPOOL_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750
1435 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1436 # The mode of files on the input spool which hold the contents of messages can
1437 # be changed here. The default is 0640 so that information from the spool is
1438 # available to anyone who is a member of the Exim group.
1443 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1444 # Moving frozen messages: If the following is uncommented, Exim is compiled
1445 # with support for automatically moving frozen messages out of the main spool
1446 # directory, a facility that is found useful by some large installations. A
1447 # run time option is required to cause the moving actually to occur. Such
1448 # messages become "invisible" to the normal management tools.
1450 # SUPPORT_MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES=yes
1453 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1454 # Expanding match_* second parameters: BE CAREFUL IF ENABLING THIS!
1455 # It has proven too easy in practice for administrators to configure security
1456 # problems into their Exim install, by treating match_domain{}{} and friends
1457 # as a form of string comparison, where the second string comes from untrusted
1458 # data. Because these options take lists, which can include lookup;LOOKUPDATA
1459 # style elements, a foe can then cause Exim to, eg, execute an arbitrary MySQL
1460 # query, dropping tables.
1461 # From Exim 4.77 onwards, the second parameter is not expanded; it can still
1462 # be a list literal, or a macro, or a named list reference. There is also
1463 # the new expansion condition "inlisti" which does expand the second parameter,
1464 # but treats it as a list of strings; also, there's "eqi" which is probably
1465 # what is normally wanted.
1467 # If you really need to have the old behaviour, know what you are doing and
1468 # will not complain if your system is compromised as a result of doing so, then
1469 # uncomment this option to get the old behaviour back.

1476 # You should never uncomment this when compiling a binary for distribution.
1477 # Use it only when compiling Exim for your own use.
1479 # Uncommenting this line enables the use of a runtime option called
1480 # disable_fsync, which can be used to stop Exim using fsync() to ensure that
1481 # files are written to disc before proceeding. When this is disabled, crashes
1482 # and hardware problems such as power outages can cause data to be lost. This
1483 # feature should only be used in very exceptional circumstances. YOU HAVE BEEN
