   1 LISTS OF EXIM OPTIONS
   2 ---------------------
   3
   4 This file contains complete lists of four kinds of Exim option:
   5
   6   1. Those that can appear in the run time configuration file;
   7   2. Those that can be used on the command line;
   8   3. Those that can appear in the build time configuration (Local/Makefile);
   9   4. Those that can appear in the build time configuration for the Exim monitor
  10      (Local/eximon.conf).
  11
  12 This file was last updated for Exim release 4.72.

  15 1. RUN TIME OPTIONS
  16 -------------------
  17
  18 As Exim has developed, new options have been added at each major release. For
  19 the most part, backwards compatibility has been maintained, and obsolete
  20 options continue to be recognized. However, incompatible changes took place at
  21 releases 3.00, and 4.00. In both cases, several groups of options were
  22 amalgamated into new, extended options, and obsolete options were removed.
  23
  24 The table below contains a complete list of all Exim's current options, along
  25 with their types, default values, and where they can be used. String options
  26 that are expanded before use are marked with *. Host lists, domain lists, and
  27 address lists are always expanded. In some cases the defaults are not fixed
  28 values, or not short enough to fit in the table. These are indicated by +. Some
  29 other default values are determined when the Exim binary is compiled; these are
  30 indicated by ++.
  31
  32 For options that are specific to a particular driver, the fourth column
  33 contains the driver name, for example, appendfile. Otherwise, it contains
  34
  35  . `main' for options that appear in the main section of Exim's configuration
  36     file;
  37
  38  . `authenticators' for generic options that apply to any authenticator;
  39
  40  . `routers' for generic options that apply to any router;
  41
  42  . `transports' for generic options that apply to any transport.
  43
  44 The fifth column contains the version of Exim in which the option was added, or
  45 substantially changed. Where no number is given, the option has been in Exim
  46 since the very early releases. The routers were completely reorganised for
  47 release 4.00, and so no router options are shown as earlier than 4.00, though
  48 in fact some of them were inherited from earlier versions.

 763 3. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM
 764 ------------------------------
 765
 766 The table below contains a "mostly" complete list of options that can be
 767 set in Local/Makefile when building Exim.  The only items not included are
 768 those whose names can be trivially derived from rules stated below.
 769
 770 More information about individual options can be found in src/EDITME and
 771 OS/Makefile-Default.
 772
 773 The second column below gives the type of option:
 774
 775  . `system' means the option is concerned with the operating system;
 776
 777  . `driver' means the option selects a driver to be included in the binary;
 778
 779  . `lookup' means the option selects a lookuptype to be included in the binary;
 780
 781  . `mandatory' means the option is required to be supplied;
 782
 783  . `recommended' means the option is recommended to be supplied;
 784
 785  . `optional' means what it says;
 786
 787 Those marked with * are specialized and are unlikely to be required in most
 788 installations. Those that are marked with ** are commonly set in OS-specific
 789 Makefiles. If you use any of these in your Local/Makefile, you may need to
 790 reproduce some of the OS-specific settings. For example, in the Makefile for
 791 Solaris (which is actually called OS/Makefile-SunOS5), there is
 792
 793   LIBS=-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat
 794
 795 If you use LIBS to add extra libraries, you must also include the OS ones in
 796 your setting. It is better, in this particular case, to use EXTRALIBS, which is
 797 empty by default, and is provided for just this reason. Of course, if you do
 798 actually want to modify a setting from the OS-specific file, there is nothing
 799 to stop you overriding it in your Local/Makefile.
 800
 801 When building Exim with dynamically loaded lookup support, for "LOOKUP_FOO",
 802 you can define "LOOKUP_FOO_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_FOO_LIBS", for includes and
 803 libraries specific only to that module.  These rules are only used where the
 804 relevant lookup is a module.  These options are not explicitly listed below.
 805
 806 Variables with names endined `_PC' are used for pkg-config integration; setting
 807 the value to the name of a pkg-config package will cause Exim's build system to
 808 query the --cflags and --libs for the given name, when building anything
 809 dependent upon the component associated with the `_PC' variable.  For lookups,
 810 if the lookup is dynamically loaded, then this *replaces* the use of the
 811 corresponding _INCLUDE and _LIBS options, which will be ignored.  If the lookup
 812 is statically loaded into Exim, the results will be inserted into the
 813 "LOOKUP_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_LIBS" options.  For authenticator, the results
 814 will be inserted into the "CFLAGS" and "AUTH_LIBS" options.  These options are
 815 only listed below for the TLS implementation cases.
 816
 817
 818 Option                       Type         Description
 819 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 820
 821 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX            optional     restricts location of -C files
