3 ######################################################################
6 # This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in
7 # uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list
8 # of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a
9 # configuration file. There are many more than are mentioned here. The
10 # manual is in the file doc/spec.txt in the Exim distribution as a plain
11 # ASCII file. Other formats (PostScript, Texinfo, HTML, PDF) are available
12 # from the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online at the Exim web sites.
15 # This file is divided into several parts, all but the first of which are
16 # headed by a line starting with the word "begin". Only those parts that
17 # are required need to be present. Blank lines, and lines starting with #
21 ########### IMPORTANT ########## IMPORTANT ########### IMPORTANT ###########
23 # Whenever you change Exim's configuration file, you *must* remember to #
24 # HUP the Exim daemon, because it will not pick up the new configuration #
25 # until you do. However, any other Exim processes that are started, for #
26 # example, a process started by an MUA in order to send a message, will #
27 # see the new configuration as soon as it is in place. #
29 # You do not need to HUP the daemon for changes in auxiliary files that #
30 # are referenced from this file. They are read every time they are used. #
32 # It is usually a good idea to test a new configuration for syntactic #
33 # correctness before installing it (for example, by running the command #
34 # "exim -C /config/file.new -bV"). #

41 # MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
42 ######################################################################
44 # Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully
45 # qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the
46 # uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases this does
47 # the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.
52 # The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts.
53 # These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
54 # +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
55 # are all colon-separated lists:
57 domainlist local_domains = @
58 domainlist relay_to_domains =
59 hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost
60 # (We rely upon hostname resolution working for localhost, because the default
61 # uncommented configuration needs to work in IPv4-only environments.)
63 # Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
64 # appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations,
65 # you may need to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) which appear later in
68 # The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
70 # domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
72 # You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
73 # setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
74 # as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
75 # deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
76 # addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
77 # "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
78 # list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
79 # recommended for today's Internet.
81 # The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
82 # If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
83 # if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
84 # must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
86 # domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
88 # This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
89 # See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
92 # The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
93 # to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
94 # complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
96 # hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 192.168.0.0/16
98 # The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
99 # have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
100 # SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
101 # sending mail. Often, connections are made to "localhost", which might be ::1
102 # on IPv6-enabled hosts. Do not forget CIDR for your IPv6 networks.
104 # All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item, including
105 # wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference
106 # manual for details. The lists above are used in the access control lists for
107 # checking incoming messages. The names of these ACLs are defined here:
109 acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
110 acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data
112 # You should not change those settings until you understand how ACLs work.
115 # If you are running a version of Exim that was compiled with the content-
116 # scanning extension, you can cause incoming messages to be automatically
117 # scanned for viruses. You have to modify the configuration in two places to
118 # set this up. The first of them is here, where you define the interface to
119 # your scanner. This example is typical for ClamAV; see the manual for details
120 # of what to set for other virus scanners. The second modification is in the
121 # acl_check_data access control list (see below).
123 # av_scanner = clamd:/tmp/clamd
126 # For spam scanning, there is a similar option that defines the interface to
127 # SpamAssassin. You do not need to set this if you are using the default, which
128 # is shown in this commented example. As for virus scanning, you must also
129 # modify the acl_check_data access control list to enable spam scanning.
131 # spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783
134 # If Exim is compiled with support for TLS, you may want to enable the
135 # following options so that Exim allows clients to make encrypted
136 # connections. In the authenticators section below, there are template
137 # configurations for plaintext username/password authentication. This kind
138 # of authentication is only safe when used within a TLS connection, so the
139 # authenticators will only work if the following TLS settings are turned on
142 # Allow any client to use TLS.
144 # tls_advertise_hosts = *
146 # Specify the location of the Exim server's TLS certificate and private key.
147 # The private key must not be encrypted (password protected). You can put
148 # the certificate and private key in the same file, in which case you only
149 # need the first setting, or in separate files, in which case you need both
152 # tls_certificate = /etc/ssl/exim.crt
153 # tls_privatekey = /etc/ssl/exim.pem
155 # In order to support roaming users who wish to send email from anywhere,
156 # you may want to make Exim listen on other ports as well as port 25, in
157 # case these users need to send email from a network that blocks port 25.
158 # The standard port for this purpose is port 587, the "message submission"
159 # port. See RFC 4409 for details. Microsoft MUAs cannot be configured to
160 # talk the message submission protocol correctly, so if you need to support
161 # them you should also allow TLS-on-connect on the traditional but
162 # non-standard port 465.
164 # daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 465 : 587
165 # tls_on_connect_ports = 465
168 # Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses
169 # here. An unqualified address is one that does not contain an "@" character
170 # followed by a domain. For example, "caesar@rome.example" is a fully qualified
171 # address, but the string "caesar" (i.e. just a login name) is an unqualified
172 # email address. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
173 # default. See the recipient_unqualified_hosts option if you want to permit
174 # unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is not set, the
175 # primary_hostname value is used for qualification.
180 # If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be qualified with a different
181 # domain to unqualified sender addresses, specify the recipient domain here.
182 # If this option is not set, the qualify_domain value is used.

187 # The following line must be uncommented if you want Exim to recognize
188 # addresses of the form "user@[10.11.12.13]" that is, with a "domain literal"
189 # (an IP address) instead of a named domain. The RFCs still require this form,
190 # but it makes little sense to permit mail to be sent to specific hosts by
191 # their IP address in the modern Internet. This ancient format has been used
192 # by those seeking to abuse hosts by using them for unwanted relaying. If you
193 # really do want to support domain literals, uncomment the following line, and
194 # see also the "domain_literal" router below.
196 # allow_domain_literals
199 # No deliveries will ever be run under the uids of users specified by
200 # never_users (a colon-separated list). An attempt to do so causes a panic
201 # error to be logged, and the delivery to be deferred. This is a paranoic
202 # safety catch. There is an even stronger safety catch in the form of the
203 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS setting in the configuration for building Exim. The list of
204 # users that it specifies is built into the binary, and cannot be changed. The
205 # option below just adds additional users to the list. The default for
206 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS is "root", but just to be absolutely sure, the default here
209 # Note that the default setting means you cannot deliver mail addressed to root
210 # as if it were a normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have
211 # an alias for root that redirects such mail to a human administrator.
216 # The setting below causes Exim to do a reverse DNS lookup on all incoming
217 # IP calls, in order to get the true host name. If you feel this is too
218 # expensive, you can specify the networks for which a lookup is done, or
219 # remove the setting entirely.
224 # The settings below cause Exim to make RFC 1413 (ident) callbacks
225 # for all incoming SMTP calls. You can limit the hosts to which these
226 # calls are made, and/or change the timeout that is used. If you set
227 # the timeout to zero, all RFC 1413 calls are disabled. RFC 1413 calls
228 # are cheap and can provide useful information for tracing problem
229 # messages, but some hosts and firewalls have problems with them.
230 # This can result in a timeout instead of an immediate refused
231 # connection, leading to delays on starting up SMTP sessions.

352 # The following section of the ACL is concerned with local parts that contain
353 # @ or % or ! or / or | or dots in unusual places.
355 # The characters other than dots are rarely found in genuine local parts, but
356 # are often tried by people looking to circumvent relaying restrictions.
357 # Therefore, although they are valid in local parts, these rules lock them
358 # out, as a precaution.
360 # Empty components (two dots in a row) are not valid in RFC 2822, but Exim
361 # allows them because they have been encountered. (Consider local parts
362 # constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
363 # someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
364 # with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a
365 # file name (e.g. for a mailing list). This is also true for local parts that
366 # contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is
367 # incorporated unthinkingly into a shell command line.

370 # messages that are addressed to one of the local domains handled by this
371 # host. The line "domains = +local_domains" restricts it to domains that are
372 # defined by the "domainlist local_domains" setting above. The rule blocks

384 # negating operator. This rule allows your own users to send outgoing

594 # This router handles aliasing using a linearly searched alias file with the
595 # name SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE. When this configuration is installed automatically,
596 # the name gets inserted into this file from whatever is set in Exim's
597 # build-time configuration. The default path is the traditional /etc/aliases.
598 # If you install this configuration by hand, you need to specify the correct
599 # path in the "data" setting below.
601 ##### NB You must ensure that the alias file exists. It used to be the case
602 ##### NB that every Unix had that file, because it was the Sendmail default.
603 ##### NB These days, there are systems that don't have it. Your aliases
604 ##### NB file should at least contain an alias for "postmaster".
606 # If any of your aliases expand to pipes or files, you will need to set
607 # up a user and a group for these deliveries to run under. You can do
608 # this by uncommenting the "user" option below (changing the user name
609 # as appropriate) and adding a "group" option if necessary. Alternatively, you
610 # can specify "user" on the transports that are used. Note that the transports
611 # listed below are the same as are used for .forward files; you might want
612 # to set up different ones for pipe and file deliveries from aliases.

624 # This router handles forwarding using traditional .forward files in users'
625 # home directories. If you want it also to allow mail filtering when a forward
626 # file starts with the string "# Exim filter" or "# Sieve filter", uncomment
627 # the "allow_filter" option.
629 # The no_verify setting means that this router is skipped when Exim is
630 # verifying addresses. Similarly, no_expn means that this router is skipped if
631 # Exim is processing an EXPN command.
633 # If you want this router to treat local parts with suffixes introduced by "-"
634 # or "+" characters as if the suffixes did not exist, uncomment the two local_
635 # part_suffix options. Then, for example, xxxx-foo@your.domain will be treated
636 # in the same way as xxxx@your.domain by this router. Because this router is
637 # not used for verification, if you choose to uncomment those options, then you
638 # will *need* to make the same change to the localuser router. (There are
639 # other approaches, if this is undesirable, but they add complexity).
641 # The check_ancestor option means that if the forward file generates an
642 # address that is an ancestor of the current one, the current one gets
643 # passed on instead. This covers the case where A is aliased to B and B
644 # has a .forward file pointing to A.

706 # This transport is used for local delivery to user mailboxes in traditional
707 # BSD mailbox format. By default it will be run under the uid and gid of the
708 # local user, and requires the sticky bit to be set on the /var/mail directory.
709 # Some systems use the alternative approach of running mail deliveries under a
710 # particular group instead of using the sticky bit. The commented options below
711 # show how this can be done.

723 # This transport is used for handling pipe deliveries generated by alias or
724 # .forward files. If the pipe generates any standard output, it is returned
725 # to the sender of the message as a delivery error. Set return_fail_output
726 # instead of return_output if you want this to happen only when the pipe fails
727 # to complete normally. You can set different transports for aliases and
728 # forwards if you want to - see the references to address_pipe in the routers
736 # This transport is used for handling deliveries directly to files that are
737 # generated by aliasing or forwarding.
746 # This transport is used for handling autoreplies generated by the filtering
747 # option of the userforward router.

790 # AUTHENTICATION CONFIGURATION #
791 ######################################################################
793 # The following authenticators support plaintext username/password
794 # authentication using the standard PLAIN mechanism and the traditional
795 # but non-standard LOGIN mechanism, with Exim acting as the server.
796 # PLAIN and LOGIN are enough to support most MUA software.
798 # These authenticators are not complete: you need to change the
799 # server_condition settings to specify how passwords are verified.
800 # They are set up to offer authentication to the client only if the
801 # connection is encrypted with TLS, so you also need to add support
802 # for TLS. See the global configuration options section at the start
803 # of this file for more about TLS.
805 # The default RCPT ACL checks for successful authentication, and will accept
806 # messages from authenticated users from anywhere on the Internet.
810 # PLAIN authentication has no server prompts. The client sends its
811 # credentials in one lump, containing an authorization ID (which we do not
812 # use), an authentication ID, and a password. The latter two appear as
813 # $auth2 and $auth3 in the configuration and should be checked against a
814 # valid username and password. In a real configuration you would typically
815 # use $auth2 as a lookup key, and compare $auth3 against the result of the
816 # lookup, perhaps using the crypteq{}{} condition.
820 # server_set_id = $auth2
822 # server_condition = Authentication is not yet configured
823 # server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_in_cipher }
825 # LOGIN authentication has traditional prompts and responses. There is no
826 # authorization ID in this mechanism, so unlike PLAIN the username and
827 # password are $auth1 and $auth2. Apart from that you can use the same
828 # server_condition setting for both authenticators.
