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

78 # THESE ARE THINGS YOU MUST SPECIFY #
79 ###############################################################################
81 # Exim will not build unless you specify BIN_DIRECTORY, CONFIGURE_FILE, and
82 # EXIM_USER. You also need EXIM_GROUP if EXIM_USER specifies a uid by number.
84 # If you don't specify SPOOL_DIRECTORY, Exim won't fail to build. However, it
85 # really is a very good idea to specify it here rather than at run time. This
86 # is particularly true if you let the logs go to their default location in the
87 # spool directory, because it means that the location of the logs is known
88 # before Exim has read the run time configuration file.
90 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
91 # BIN_DIRECTORY defines where the exim binary will be installed by "make
92 # install". The path is also used internally by Exim when it needs to re-invoke
93 # itself, either to send an error message, or to recover root privilege. Exim's
94 # utility binaries and scripts are also installed in this directory. There is
95 # no "standard" place for the binary directory. Some people like to keep all
96 # the Exim files under one directory such as /usr/exim; others just let the
97 # Exim binaries go into an existing directory such as /usr/sbin or
98 # /usr/local/sbin. The installation script will try to create this directory,
99 # and any superior directories, if they do not exist.
101 BIN_DIRECTORY=/usr/exim/bin
104 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
105 # CONFIGURE_FILE defines where Exim's run time configuration file is to be
106 # found. It is the complete pathname for the file, not just a directory. The
107 # location of all other run time files and directories can be changed in the
108 # run time configuration file. There is a lot of variety in the choice of
109 # location in different OS, and in the preferences of different sysadmins. Some
110 # common locations are in /etc or /etc/mail or /usr/local/etc or
111 # /usr/local/etc/mail. Another possibility is to keep all the Exim files under
112 # a single directory such as /usr/exim. Whatever you choose, the installation
113 # script will try to make the directory and any superior directories if they
114 # don't exist. It will also install a default runtime configuration if this
115 # file does not exist.
117 CONFIGURE_FILE=/usr/exim/configure
119 # It is possible to specify a colon-separated list of files for CONFIGURE_FILE.
120 # In this case, Exim will use the first of them that exists when it is run.
121 # However, if a list is specified, the installation script no longer tries to
122 # make superior directories or to install a default runtime configuration.
125 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
126 # The Exim binary must normally be setuid root, so that it starts executing as
127 # root, but (depending on the options with which it is called) it does not
128 # always need to retain the root privilege. These settings define the user and
129 # group that is used for Exim processes when they no longer need to be root. In
130 # particular, this applies when receiving messages and when doing remote
131 # deliveries. (Local deliveries run as various non-root users, typically as the
132 # owner of a local mailbox.) Specifying these values as root is not supported.
136 # If you specify EXIM_USER as a name, this is looked up at build time, and the
137 # uid number is built into the binary. However, you can specify that this
138 # lookup is deferred until runtime. In this case, it is the name that is built
139 # into the binary. You can do this by a setting of the form:
143 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user name. If you set EXIM_USER
144 # like this, any value specified for EXIM_GROUP is also passed "by reference".
145 # Although this costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use
146 # this feature when building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems
147 # where the name may refer to different uids. It also allows you to build Exim
148 # on a system where there is no Exim user defined.
150 # If the setting of EXIM_USER is numeric (e.g. EXIM_USER=42), there must
151 # also be a setting of EXIM_GROUP. If, on the other hand, you use a name
152 # for EXIM_USER (e.g. EXIM_USER=exim), you don't need to set EXIM_GROUP unless
153 # you want to use a group other than the default group for the given user.
157 # Many sites define a user called "exim", with an appropriate default group,
162 # while leaving EXIM_GROUP unspecified (commented out).
165 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
166 # SPOOL_DIRECTORY defines the directory where all the data for messages in
167 # transit is kept. It is strongly recommended that you define it here, though
168 # it is possible to leave this till the run time configuration.
170 # Exim creates the spool directory if it does not exist. The owner and group
171 # will be those defined by EXIM_USER and EXIM_GROUP, and this also applies to
172 # all the files and directories that are created in the spool directory.
174 # Almost all installations choose this:
176 SPOOL_DIRECTORY=/var/spool/exim

255 # maintain two concurrent sets of modules.
257 # *BEWARE*: ability to modify the files in LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR is equivalent to
258 # the ability to modify the Exim binary, which is often setuid root! The Exim
259 # developers only intend this functionality be used by OS software packagers

293 # Depending on where it is installed you may have to edit the CFLAGS
294 # (often += -I/usr/local/include) and LDFLAGS (-lhiredis) lines.
296 # If your system has pkg-config then the _INCLUDE/_LIBS setting can be

327 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
328 # If you have set LOOKUP_LDAP=yes, you should set LDAP_LIB_TYPE to indicate
329 # which LDAP library you have. Unfortunately, though most of their functions
330 # are the same, there are minor differences. Currently Exim knows about four
331 # LDAP libraries: the one from the University of Michigan (also known as
332 # OpenLDAP 1), OpenLDAP 2, the Netscape SDK library, and the library that comes
333 # with Solaris 7 onwards. Uncomment whichever of these you are using.
335 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=OPENLDAP1
336 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=OPENLDAP2
337 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=NETSCAPE

345 # The PCRE library is required for Exim. There is no longer an embedded
346 # version of the PCRE library included with the source code, instead you
347 # must use a system library or build your own copy of PCRE.
348 # In either case you must specify the library link info here. If the
349 # PCRE header files are not in the standard search path you must also

362 # lookup styles (e.g. LDAP, MYSQL or PGSQL). LOOKUP_LIBS is included only on
363 # the command for linking Exim itself, not on any auxiliary programs. You
364 # don't need to set LOOKUP_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
365 # specified in INCLUDE. The settings below are just examples; -lpq is for
366 # PostgreSQL, -lgds is for Interbase, -lsqlite3 is for SQLite, -lhiredis

396 # If you're using ClamAV and are backporting fixes to an old version, instead

502 # The items in this section are those that are commonly changed according to
503 # the sysadmin's preferences, but whose defaults are often acceptable. The
504 # first five are concerned with security issues, where differing levels of
505 # paranoia are appropriate in different environments. Sysadmins also vary in
506 # their views on appropriate levels of defence in these areas. If you do not
507 # understand these issues, go with the defaults, which are used by many sites.
510 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
511 # Although Exim is normally a setuid program, owned by root, it refuses to run
512 # local deliveries as root by default. There is a runtime option called
513 # "never_users" which lists the users that must never be used for local
514 # deliveries. There is also the setting below, which provides a list that
515 # cannot be overridden at runtime. This guards against problems caused by
516 # unauthorized changes to the runtime configuration. You are advised not to
517 # remove "root" from this option, but you can add other users if you want. The
518 # list is colon-separated. It must NOT contain any spaces.
520 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root:bin:daemon
521 FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root
524 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
525 # By default, Exim insists that its configuration file be owned by root. You
526 # can specify one additional permitted owner here.
530 # If the configuration file is group-writeable, Exim insists by default that it
531 # is owned by root. You can specify one additional permitted group owner here.
535 # If you specify CONFIGURE_OWNER or CONFIGURE_GROUP as a name, this is looked
536 # up at build time, and the uid or gid number is built into the binary.
537 # However, you can specify that the lookup is deferred until runtime. In this
538 # case, it is the name that is built into the binary. You can do this by a
539 # setting of the form:
541 # CONFIGURE_OWNER=ref:mail
542 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=ref:sysadmin
544 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user or group name. Although this
545 # costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use this feature when
546 # building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems where the names may
547 # refer to different uids or gids. It also allows you to build Exim on a system
548 # where the relevant user or group is not defined.
551 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
552 # The -C option allows Exim to be run with an alternate runtime configuration
553 # file. When this is used by root, root privilege is retained by the binary
554 # (for any other caller including the Exim user, it is dropped). You can
555 # restrict the location of alternate configurations by defining a prefix below.
556 # Any file used with -C must then start with this prefix (except that /dev/null
557 # is also permitted if the caller is root, because that is used in the install
558 # script). If the prefix specifies a directory that is owned by root, a
559 # compromise of the Exim account does not permit arbitrary alternate
560 # configurations to be used. The prefix can be more restrictive than just a
561 # directory (the second example).
563 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/
564 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/exim.conf-
567 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
568 # When a user other than root uses the -C option to override the configuration
569 # file (including the Exim user when re-executing Exim to regain root
570 # privileges for local message delivery), this will normally cause Exim to
571 # drop root privileges. The TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST option, specifies a file which
572 # contains a list of trusted configuration filenames, one per line. If the -C
573 # option is used by the Exim user or by the user specified in the
574 # CONFIGURE_OWNER setting, to specify a configuration file which is listed in
575 # the TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file, then root privileges are not dropped by Exim.
577 # TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST=/usr/exim/trusted_configs
580 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
581 # Uncommenting this option disables the use of the -D command line option,
582 # which changes the values of macros in the runtime configuration file.
583 # This is another protection against somebody breaking into the Exim account.
585 # DISABLE_D_OPTION=yes
588 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
589 # By contrast, you might be maintaining a system which relies upon the ability
590 # to override values with -D and assumes that these will be passed through to
591 # the delivery processes. As of Exim 4.73, this is no longer the case by
592 # default. Going forward, we strongly recommend that you use a shim Exim
593 # configuration file owned by root stored under TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST.
594 # That shim can set macros before .include'ing your main configuration file.
596 # As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
597 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS value definies a colon-separated list of macro-names
598 # which are permitted to be overridden from the command-line which will be
599 # honoured by the Exim user. So these are macros that can persist to delivery
601 # Examples might be -DTLS or -DSPOOL=/some/dir. The values on the
602 # command-line are filtered to only permit: [A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*
604 # This option is highly likely to be removed in a future release. It exists
605 # only to make 4.73 as easy as possible to migrate to. If you use it, we
606 # encourage you to schedule time to rework your configuration to not depend
607 # upon it. Most people should not need to use this.
609 # By default, no macros are whitelisted for -D usage.
611 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS=TLS:SPOOL

614 # Exim has support for the AUTH (authentication) extension of the SMTP
615 # protocol, as defined by RFC 2554. If you don't know what SMTP authentication
616 # is, you probably won't want to include this code, so you should leave these
617 # settings commented out. If you do want to make use of SMTP authentication,
618 # you must uncomment at least one of the following, so that appropriate code is
619 # included in the Exim binary. You will then need to set up the run time
620 # configuration to make use of the mechanism(s) selected.
623 # AUTH_CYRUS_SASL=yes
626 # AUTH_GSASL_PC=libgsasl
627 # AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI=yes
628 # AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI_PC=heimdal-gssapi
634 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
635 # If you specified AUTH_CYRUS_SASL above, you should ensure that you have the
636 # Cyrus SASL library installed before trying to build Exim, and you probably
637 # want to uncomment the first line below.
638 # Similarly for GNU SASL, unless pkg-config is used via AUTH_GSASL_PC.
639 # Ditto for AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI(_PC).
643 # AUTH_LIBS=-lgssapi -lheimntlm -lkrb5 -lhx509 -lcom_err -lhcrypto -lasn1 -lwind -lroken -lcrypt
646 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
647 # When Exim is decoding MIME "words" in header lines, most commonly for use
648 # in the $header_xxx expansion, it converts any foreign character sets to the
649 # one that is set in the headers_charset option. The default setting is
650 # defined by this setting:
652 HEADERS_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"
654 # If you are going to make use of $header_xxx expansions in your configuration
655 # file, or if your users are going to use them in filter files, and the normal
656 # character set on your host is something other than ISO-8859-1, you might
657 # like to specify a different default here. This value can be overridden in
658 # the runtime configuration, and it can also be overridden in individual filter
661 # IMPORTANT NOTE: The iconv() function is needed for character code
662 # conversions. Please see the next item...
665 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
666 # Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
667 # installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
668 # is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
669 # the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
670 # as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
674 # If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
675 # need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
676 # and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
677 # something like this:
680 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
681 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
683 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
687 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
688 # The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
689 # function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
690 # "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
691 # configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
692 # operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
693 # 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
694 # supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.
696 # You can always indicate a crypt16-encrypted password by preceding it with
697 # "{crypt16}". If you want the default handling (without any preceding
698 # indicator) to use crypt16(), uncomment the following line:
700 # DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16
702 # If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding
703 # an encrypted password with "{crypt}". For more details, see the description
704 # of the "crypteq" condition in the manual chapter on string expansions.
706 # Some operating systems do not include a crypt16() function, so Exim has one
707 # of its own, which it uses unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined. Normally, that will
708 # be set in an OS-specific Makefile for the OS that have such a function, so
709 # you should not need to bother with it.
711 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
712 # It turns out that the above is not entirely accurate. As well as crypt16()
713 # there is a function called bigcrypt() that some operating systems have. This
714 # may or may not use the same algorithm, and both of them may be different to
715 # Exim's built-in crypt16() that is used unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined.
717 # However, since there is now a move away from the traditional crypt()
718 # functions towards using SHA1 and other algorithms, tidying up this area of
719 # Exim is seen as very low priority. In practice, if you need to, you can
720 # define DEFAULT_CRYPT to the name of any function that has the same interface
721 # as the traditional crypt() function.
722 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
725 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
726 # Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
727 # Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
728 # must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
729 # no cryptographic code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want
730 # to build Exim with TLS support. If you don't know what this is all about,
731 # leave these settings commented out.
733 # This setting is required for any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS)
736 # Uncomment one of these settings if you are using OpenSSL; pkg-config vs not
737 # USE_OPENSSL_PC=openssl
738 # TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto
740 # Uncomment the first and either the second or the third of these if you
741 # are using GnuTLS. If you have pkg-config, then the second, else the third.
743 # USE_GNUTLS_PC=gnutls
744 # TLS_LIBS=-lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
746 # The security fix we provide with the gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 option
747 # (4.82 PP/09) introduces a compatibility regression. The symbol is
748 # not available if GnuTLS is build without p11-kit (--without-p11-kit
749 # configure option). In this case use AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes when
751 # AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes
753 # If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
754 # support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
755 # certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
756 # and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
757 # to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
758 # if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
759 # is all you need to do.
761 # If you are using pkg-config then you should not need to worry where the
762 # libraries and headers are installed, as the pkg-config .pc specification
763 # should include all -L/-I information necessary. If not using pkg-config
764 # then you might need to specify the locations too.
766 # Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
767 # GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
768 # with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
769 # need something like
771 # TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
773 # TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
775 # TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
776 # auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
777 # set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
779 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
781 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include
783 # You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
784 # specified in INCLUDE.
787 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
788 # The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
789 # documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
790 # the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
791 # sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
792 # with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
793 # version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
794 # because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
795 # example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball unpacks into a
796 # directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
797 # In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
798 # have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
799 # directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
800 # Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and
801 # install them in the directory you have defined.
803 # INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info
806 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
807 # Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
808 # single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
809 # log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
810 # called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
811 # the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
812 # this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
813 # %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
814 # to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
816 # LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
818 # which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
819 # in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
820 # it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
821 # of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
822 # must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
824 # You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
825 # files, by settings such as these
827 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
828 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
830 # The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes
831 # to log files. Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up
832 # the building process.
835 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
836 # When logging to syslog, the following option caters for syslog replacements
837 # that are able to accept log entries longer than the 1024 characters allowed
838 # by RFC 3164. It is up to you to make sure your syslog daemon can handle this.
839 # Non-printable characters are usually unacceptable regardless, so log entries
840 # are still split on newline characters.
842 # SYSLOG_LONG_LINES=yes
844 # If you are not interested in the process identifier (pid) of the Exim that is
845 # making the call to syslog, then comment out the following line.
850 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
851 # Cycling log files: this variable specifies the maximum number of old
852 # log files that are kept by the exicyclog log-cycling script. You don't have
853 # to use exicyclog. If your operating system has other ways of cycling log
854 # files, you can use them instead. The exicyclog script isn't run by default;
855 # you have to set up a cron job for it if you want it.
860 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
861 # The compress command is used by the exicyclog script to compress old log
862 # files. Both the name of the command and the suffix that it adds to files
863 # need to be defined here. See also the EXICYCLOG_MAX configuration.
865 COMPRESS_COMMAND=/usr/bin/gzip
869 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
870 # If the exigrep utility is fed compressed log files, it tries to uncompress
871 # them using this command.
873 # Leave it empty to enforce autodetection at runtime:
876 # Omit the path if you want to use your system's PATH:

883 # Compiling in support for embedded Perl: If you want to be able to
884 # use Perl code in Exim's string manipulation language and you have Perl
885 # (version 5.004 or later) installed, set EXIM_PERL to perl.o. Using embedded
886 # Perl costs quite a lot of resources. Only do this if you really need it.
891 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
892 # Support for dynamically-loaded string expansion functions via ${dlfunc. If
893 # you are using gcc the dynamically-loaded object must be compiled with the
894 # -shared option, and you will need to add -export-dynamic to EXTRALIBS so
895 # that the local_scan API is made available by the linker. You may also need
896 # to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS so that dlopen() is available to Exim.
901 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
902 # Exim has support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules), a facility
903 # which is available in the latest releases of Solaris and in some GNU/Linux
904 # distributions (see http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/). The Exim
905 # support, which is intended for use in conjunction with the SMTP AUTH
906 # facilities, is included only when requested by the following setting:
910 # You probably need to add -lpam to EXTRALIBS, and in some releases of
911 # GNU/Linux -ldl is also needed.
914 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
917 # If you may want to use outbound (client-side) proxying, using Socks5,
918 # uncomment the line below.
922 # If you may want to use inbound (server-side) proxying, using Proxy Protocol,
923 # uncomment the line below.
928 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
929 # Internationalisation.
931 # Uncomment the following to include Internationalisation features. This is the
932 # SMTPUTF8 ESMTP extension, and associated facilities for handling UTF8 domain
933 # and localparts, per RFCs 5890, 6530 and 6533.
934 # You need to have the IDN library installed.
940 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
941 # Support for authentication via Radius is also available. The Exim support,
942 # which is intended for use in conjunction with the SMTP AUTH facilities,
943 # is included only when requested by setting the following parameter to the
944 # location of your Radius configuration file:
946 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
947 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radius.conf
949 # If you have set RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE, you should also set one of these to
950 # indicate which RADIUS library is used:
952 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENT
953 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENTNEW
954 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADLIB
956 # RADIUSCLIENT is the radiusclient library; you probably need to add
957 # -lradiusclient to EXTRALIBS.
959 # The API for the radiusclient library was changed at release 0.4.0.
960 # Unfortunately, the header file does not define a version number that clients
961 # can use to support both the old and new APIs. If you are using version 0.4.0
962 # or later of the radiusclient library, you should use RADIUSCLIENTNEW.
964 # RADLIB is the Radius library that comes with FreeBSD (the header file is
965 # called radlib.h); you probably need to add -lradius to EXTRALIBS.
967 # If you do not set RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, Exim assumes the radiusclient library,
968 # using the original API.
971 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
972 # Support for authentication via the Cyrus SASL pwcheck daemon is available.
973 # Note, however, that pwcheck is now deprecated in favour of saslauthd (see
974 # next item). The Exim support for pwcheck, which is intented for use in
975 # conjunction with the SMTP AUTH facilities, is included only when requested by
976 # setting the following parameter to the location of the pwcheck daemon's
979 # There is no need to install all of SASL on your system. You just need to run
980 # ./configure --with-pwcheck, cd to the pwcheck directory within the sources,
981 # make and make install. You must create the socket directory (default
982 # /var/pwcheck) and chown it to Exim's user and group. Once you have installed
983 # pwcheck, you should arrange for it to be started by root at boot time.
985 # CYRUS_PWCHECK_SOCKET=/var/pwcheck/pwcheck

1006 # TCP wrappers: If you want to use tcpwrappers from within Exim, uncomment

1008 # chapter on building and installing Exim.
1010 # USE_TCP_WRAPPERS=yes
1012 # You may well also have to specify a local "include" file and an additional
1013 # library for TCP wrappers, so you probably need something like this:
1015 # USE_TCP_WRAPPERS=yes
1016 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
1017 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -lwrap
1019 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
1022 # To use a name other than exim in the tcpwrappers config file,
1023 # e.g. if you're running multiple daemons with different access lists,
1024 # or multiple MTAs with the same access list, define
1025 # TCP_WRAPPERS_DAEMON_NAME accordingly
1027 # TCP_WRAPPERS_DAEMON_NAME="exim"
1030 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1031 # The default action of the exim_install script (which is run by "make
1032 # install") is to install the Exim binary with a unique name such as
1033 # exim-4.43-1, and then set up a symbolic link called "exim" to reference it,
1034 # moving the symbolic link from any previous version. If you define NO_SYMLINK
1035 # (the value doesn't matter), the symbolic link is not created or moved. You
1036 # will then have to "turn Exim on" by setting up the link manually.
1041 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1042 # Another default action of the install script is to install a default runtime
1043 # configuration file if one does not exist. This configuration has a router for
1044 # expanding system aliases. The default assumes that these aliases are kept
1045 # in the traditional file called /etc/aliases. If such a file does not exist,
1046 # the installation script creates one that contains just comments (no actual
1047 # aliases). The following setting can be changed to specify a different
1048 # location for the system alias file.
1050 SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE=/etc/aliases
1053 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1054 # There are some testing options (-be, -bt, -bv) that read data from the
1055 # standard input when no arguments are supplied. By default, the input lines
1056 # are read using the standard fgets() function. This does not support line
1057 # editing during interactive input (though the terminal's "erase" character
1058 # works as normal). If your operating system has the readline() function, and
1059 # in addition supports dynamic loading of library functions, you can cause
1060 # Exim to use readline() for the -be testing option (only) by uncommenting the
1061 # following setting. Dynamic loading is used so that the library is loaded only
1062 # when the -be testing option is given; by the time the loading occurs,
1063 # Exim has given up its root privilege and is running as the calling user. This
1064 # is the reason why readline() is NOT supported for -bt and -bv, because Exim
1065 # runs as root or as exim, respectively, for those options. When USE_READLINE
1066 # is "yes", as well as supporting line editing, a history of input lines in the
1067 # current run is maintained.
1071 # You may need to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS when you set USE_READLINE=yes.
1072 # Note that this option adds to the size of the Exim binary, because the
1073 # dynamic loading library is not otherwise included.

1122 # files, and thus be influenced by the value of TMPDIR. For this reason, when
1123 # Exim starts, it checks the environment for TMPDIR, and if it finds it is set,
1124 # it replaces the value with what is defined here. Commenting this setting
1125 # suppresses the check altogether. Older installations call this macro

1157 # with different setuid values, and different configuration files are required
1158 # to handle the different cases. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID is defined, then
1159 # Exim will first look for a configuration file whose name is that defined
1160 # by CONFIGURE_FILE, with the effective uid tacked on the end, separated by
1161 # a period (for example, /usr/exim/configure.0). If this file does not exist,
1162 # then the bare configuration file name is tried. In the case when both
1163 # CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID and CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE are set, four files

1203 # This parameter sets the maximum length of the header portion of a message
1204 # that Exim is prepared to process. The default setting is one megabyte. The
1205 # limit exists in order to catch rogue mailers that might connect to your SMTP

1207 # message_size_limit option would also catch this, but it may not be set.
1208 # The value set here is the default; it can be changed at runtime.

1265 # data for all the interfaces - it was designed in the days when a host rarely
1266 # had more than three or four interfaces. Nowadays hosts can have very many

1275 # Per-message logs: While a message is in the process of being delivered,
1276 # comments on its progress are written to a message log, for the benefit of
1277 # human administrators. These logs are held in a directory called "msglog"

1287 # There are three options which are used when compiling the Perl interface and

1304 # Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid
1305 # (process id) to a file so that it can easily be identified. The path of the
1306 # file can be specified here. Some installations may want something like this:
1308 # PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim.pid
1310 # If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory
1311 # using the name "exim-daemon.pid".
1313 # If you start up a daemon without the -bd option (for example, with just
1314 # the -q15m option), a pid file is not written. Also, if you override the
1315 # configuration file with the -oX option, no pid file is written. In other
1316 # words, the pid file is written only for a "standard" daemon.

1327 # The mode of files on the input spool which hold the contents of messages can
1328 # be changed here. The default is 0640 so that information from the spool is

1335 # Moving frozen messages: If the following is uncommented, Exim is compiled
1336 # with support for automatically moving frozen messages out of the main spool
1337 # directory, a facility that is found useful by some large installations. A
1338 # run time option is required to cause the moving actually to occur. Such
1339 # messages become "invisible" to the normal management tools.

1345 # Expanding match_* second parameters: BE CAREFUL IF ENABLING THIS!
1346 # It has proven too easy in practice for administrators to configure security
1347 # problems into their Exim install, by treating match_domain{}{} and friends
1348 # as a form of string comparison, where the second string comes from untrusted
1349 # data. Because these options take lists, which can include lookup;LOOKUPDATA
1350 # style elements, a foe can then cause Exim to, eg, execute an arbitrary MySQL
1351 # query, dropping tables.
1352 # From Exim 4.77 onwards, the second parameter is not expanded; it can still
1353 # be a list literal, or a macro, or a named list reference. There is also
1354 # the new expansion condition "inlisti" which does expand the second parameter,
1355 # but treats it as a list of strings; also, there's "eqi" which is probably
1356 # what is normally wanted.
1358 # If you really need to have the old behaviour, know what you are doing and
1359 # will not complain if your system is compromised as a result of doing so, then
1360 # uncomment this option to get the old behaviour back.

1368 # Use it only when compiling Exim for your own use.
1370 # Uncommenting this line enables the use of a runtime option called
1371 # disable_fsync, which can be used to stop Exim using fsync() to ensure that
1372 # files are written to disc before proceeding. When this is disabled, crashes
1373 # and hardware problems such as power outages can cause data to be lost. This
1374 # feature should only be used in very exceptional circumstances. YOU HAVE BEEN
