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

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
260 # and we suggest that such packagings' integrity checks should be paranoid

281 # EXTRALIBS so that dlopen() is available to Exim. You need to define

313 # These two settings are obsolete; all three lookups are compiled when

321 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
322 # If you have set LOOKUP_LDAP=yes, you should set LDAP_LIB_TYPE to indicate
323 # which LDAP library you have. Unfortunately, though most of their functions
324 # are the same, there are minor differences. Currently Exim knows about four
325 # LDAP libraries: the one from the University of Michigan (also known as
326 # OpenLDAP 1), OpenLDAP 2, the Netscape SDK library, and the library that comes
327 # with Solaris 7 onwards. Uncomment whichever of these you are using.
329 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=OPENLDAP1
330 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=OPENLDAP2
331 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=NETSCAPE
332 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=SOLARIS
334 # If you don't set any of these, Exim assumes the original University of
335 # Michigan (OpenLDAP 1) library.
338 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
339 # The PCRE library is required for Exim. There is no longer an embedded
340 # version of the PCRE library included with the source code, instead you
341 # must use a system library or build your own copy of PCRE.
342 # In either case you must specify the library link info here. If the

356 # lookup styles (e.g. LDAP, MYSQL or PGSQL). LOOKUP_LIBS is included only on
357 # the command for linking Exim itself, not on any auxiliary programs. You
358 # don't need to set LOOKUP_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
359 # specified in INCLUDE. The settings below are just examples; -lpq is for

506 # The items in this section are those that are commonly changed according to
507 # the sysadmin's preferences, but whose defaults are often acceptable. The
508 # first five are concerned with security issues, where differing levels of
509 # paranoia are appropriate in different environments. Sysadmins also vary in
510 # their views on appropriate levels of defence in these areas. If you do not
511 # understand these issues, go with the defaults, which are used by many sites.
514 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
515 # Although Exim is normally a setuid program, owned by root, it refuses to run
516 # local deliveries as root by default. There is a runtime option called
517 # "never_users" which lists the users that must never be used for local
518 # deliveries. There is also the setting below, which provides a list that
519 # cannot be overridden at runtime. This guards against problems caused by
520 # unauthorized changes to the runtime configuration. You are advised not to
521 # remove "root" from this option, but you can add other users if you want. The
522 # list is colon-separated. It must NOT contain any spaces.
524 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root:bin:daemon
525 FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root
528 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
529 # By default, Exim insists that its configuration file be owned by root. You
530 # can specify one additional permitted owner here.
534 # If the configuration file is group-writeable, Exim insists by default that it
535 # is owned by root. You can specify one additional permitted group owner here.
539 # If you specify CONFIGURE_OWNER or CONFIGURE_GROUP as a name, this is looked
540 # up at build time, and the uid or gid number is built into the binary.
541 # However, you can specify that the lookup is deferred until runtime. In this
542 # case, it is the name that is built into the binary. You can do this by a
543 # setting of the form:
545 # CONFIGURE_OWNER=ref:mail
546 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=ref:sysadmin
548 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user or group name. Although this
549 # costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use this feature when
550 # building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems where the names may
551 # refer to different uids or gids. It also allows you to build Exim on a system
552 # where the relevant user or group is not defined.
555 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
556 # The -C option allows Exim to be run with an alternate runtime configuration
557 # file. When this is used by root, root privilege is retained by the binary
558 # (for any other caller including the Exim user, it is dropped). You can
559 # restrict the location of alternate configurations by defining a prefix below.
560 # Any file used with -C must then start with this prefix (except that /dev/null
561 # is also permitted if the caller is root, because that is used in the install
562 # script). If the prefix specifies a directory that is owned by root, a
563 # compromise of the Exim account does not permit arbitrary alternate
564 # configurations to be used. The prefix can be more restrictive than just a
565 # directory (the second example).
567 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/
568 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/exim.conf-
571 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
572 # When a user other than root uses the -C option to override the configuration
573 # file (including the Exim user when re-executing Exim to regain root
574 # privileges for local message delivery), this will normally cause Exim to
575 # drop root privileges. The TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST option, specifies a file which
576 # contains a list of trusted configuration filenames, one per line. If the -C
577 # option is used by the Exim user or by the user specified in the
578 # CONFIGURE_OWNER setting, to specify a configuration file which is listed in
579 # the TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file, then root privileges are not dropped by Exim.
581 # TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST=/usr/exim/trusted_configs
584 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
585 # Uncommenting this option disables the use of the -D command line option,
586 # which changes the values of macros in the runtime configuration file.
587 # This is another protection against somebody breaking into the Exim account.
589 # DISABLE_D_OPTION=yes
592 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
593 # By contrast, you might be maintaining a system which relies upon the ability
594 # to override values with -D and assumes that these will be passed through to
595 # the delivery processes. As of Exim 4.73, this is no longer the case by
596 # default. Going forward, we strongly recommend that you use a shim Exim
597 # configuration file owned by root stored under TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST.
598 # That shim can set macros before .include'ing your main configuration file.
600 # As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
601 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS value definies a colon-separated list of macro-names
602 # which are permitted to be overridden from the command-line which will be
603 # honoured by the Exim user. So these are macros that can persist to delivery
605 # Examples might be -DTLS or -DSPOOL=/some/dir. The values on the
606 # command-line are filtered to only permit: [A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*
608 # This option is highly likely to be removed in a future release. It exists
609 # only to make 4.73 as easy as possible to migrate to. If you use it, we
610 # encourage you to schedule time to rework your configuration to not depend
611 # upon it. Most people should not need to use this.
613 # By default, no macros are whitelisted for -D usage.

618 # Exim has support for the AUTH (authentication) extension of the SMTP
619 # protocol, as defined by RFC 2554. If you don't know what SMTP authentication
620 # is, you probably won't want to include this code, so you should leave these
621 # settings commented out. If you do want to make use of SMTP authentication,
622 # you must uncomment at least one of the following, so that appropriate code is
623 # included in the Exim binary. You will then need to set up the run time
624 # configuration to make use of the mechanism(s) selected.
627 # AUTH_CYRUS_SASL=yes
630 # AUTH_GSASL_PC=libgsasl
631 # AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI=yes
632 # AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI_PC=heimdal-gssapi
638 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
639 # If you specified AUTH_CYRUS_SASL above, you should ensure that you have the
640 # Cyrus SASL library installed before trying to build Exim, and you probably
641 # want to uncomment the first line below.
642 # Similarly for GNU SASL, unless pkg-config is used via AUTH_GSASL_PC.
643 # Ditto for AUTH_HEIMDAL_GSSAPI(_PC).

650 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
651 # When Exim is decoding MIME "words" in header lines, most commonly for use
652 # in the $header_xxx expansion, it converts any foreign character sets to the
653 # one that is set in the headers_charset option. The default setting is
654 # defined by this setting:
656 HEADERS_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"
658 # If you are going to make use of $header_xxx expansions in your configuration
659 # file, or if your users are going to use them in filter files, and the normal
660 # character set on your host is something other than ISO-8859-1, you might
661 # like to specify a different default here. This value can be overridden in
662 # the runtime configuration, and it can also be overridden in individual filter
665 # IMPORTANT NOTE: The iconv() function is needed for character code
666 # conversions. Please see the next item...
669 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
670 # Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
671 # installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
672 # is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
673 # the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
674 # as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
678 # If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
679 # need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
680 # and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
681 # something like this:
684 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
685 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
687 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
691 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
692 # The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
693 # function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
694 # "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
695 # configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
696 # operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
697 # 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
698 # supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.
700 # You can always indicate a crypt16-encrypted password by preceding it with
701 # "{crypt16}". If you want the default handling (without any preceding
702 # indicator) to use crypt16(), uncomment the following line:
704 # DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16
706 # If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding
707 # an encrypted password with "{crypt}". For more details, see the description
708 # of the "crypteq" condition in the manual chapter on string expansions.
710 # Some operating systems do not include a crypt16() function, so Exim has one
711 # of its own, which it uses unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined. Normally, that will
712 # be set in an OS-specific Makefile for the OS that have such a function, so
713 # you should not need to bother with it.
715 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
716 # It turns out that the above is not entirely accurate. As well as crypt16()
717 # there is a function called bigcrypt() that some operating systems have. This
718 # may or may not use the same algorithm, and both of them may be different to
719 # Exim's built-in crypt16() that is used unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined.
721 # However, since there is now a move away from the traditional crypt()
722 # functions towards using SHA1 and other algorithms, tidying up this area of
723 # Exim is seen as very low priority. In practice, if you need to, you can
724 # define DEFAULT_CRYPT to the name of any function that has the same interface
725 # as the traditional crypt() function.
726 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
729 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
730 # Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
731 # Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
732 # must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
733 # no cryptographic code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want
734 # to build Exim with TLS support. If you don't know what this is all about,
735 # leave these settings commented out.
737 # This setting is required for any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS)
740 # Uncomment one of these settings if you are using OpenSSL; pkg-config vs not
741 # USE_OPENSSL_PC=openssl
742 # TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto
744 # Uncomment the first and either the second or the third of these if you
745 # are using GnuTLS. If you have pkg-config, then the second, else the third.
747 # USE_GNUTLS_PC=gnutls
748 # TLS_LIBS=-lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
750 # The security fix we provide with the gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 option
751 # (4.82 PP/09) introduces a compatibility regression. The symbol is
752 # not available if GnuTLS is build without p11-kit (--without-p11-kit
753 # configure option). In this case use AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes when
755 # AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes
757 # If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
758 # support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
759 # certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
760 # and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
761 # to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
762 # if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
763 # is all you need to do.
765 # If you are using pkg-config then you should not need to worry where the
766 # libraries and headers are installed, as the pkg-config .pc specification
767 # should include all -L/-I information necessary. If not using pkg-config
768 # then you might need to specify the locations too.
770 # Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
771 # GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
772 # with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
773 # need something like
775 # TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
777 # TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
779 # TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
780 # auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
781 # set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
783 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
785 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include
787 # You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
788 # specified in INCLUDE.
791 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
792 # The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
793 # documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
794 # the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
795 # sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
796 # with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
797 # version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
798 # because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
799 # example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball unpacks into a
800 # directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
801 # In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
802 # have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
803 # directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
804 # Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and
805 # install them in the directory you have defined.
807 # INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info
810 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
811 # Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
812 # single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
813 # log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
814 # called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
815 # the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
816 # this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
817 # %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
818 # to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
820 # LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
822 # which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
823 # in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
824 # it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
825 # of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
826 # must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
828 # You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
829 # files, by settings such as these
831 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
832 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
834 # The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes
835 # to log files. Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up
836 # the building process.
839 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
840 # When logging to syslog, the following option caters for syslog replacements
841 # that are able to accept log entries longer than the 1024 characters allowed
842 # by RFC 3164. It is up to you to make sure your syslog daemon can handle this.
843 # Non-printable characters are usually unacceptable regardless, so log entries
844 # are still split on newline characters.
846 # SYSLOG_LONG_LINES=yes
848 # If you are not interested in the process identifier (pid) of the Exim that is
849 # making the call to syslog, then comment out the following line.
854 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
855 # Cycling log files: this variable specifies the maximum number of old
856 # log files that are kept by the exicyclog log-cycling script. You don't have
857 # to use exicyclog. If your operating system has other ways of cycling log
858 # files, you can use them instead. The exicyclog script isn't run by default;
859 # you have to set up a cron job for it if you want it.
864 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
865 # The compress command is used by the exicyclog script to compress old log
866 # files. Both the name of the command and the suffix that it adds to files
867 # need to be defined here. See also the EXICYCLOG_MAX configuration.
869 COMPRESS_COMMAND=/usr/bin/gzip
873 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
874 # If the exigrep utility is fed compressed log files, it tries to uncompress
875 # them using this command.
877 # Leave it empty to enforce autodetection at runtime:
880 # Omit the path if you want to use your system's PATH:

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

1010 # TCP wrappers: If you want to use tcpwrappers from within Exim, uncomment
1011 # this setting. See the manual section entitled "Use of tcpwrappers" in the
1012 # chapter on building and installing Exim.
1014 # USE_TCP_WRAPPERS=yes
1016 # You may well also have to specify a local "include" file and an additional
1017 # library for TCP wrappers, so you probably need something like this:
1019 # USE_TCP_WRAPPERS=yes
1020 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
1021 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -lwrap
1023 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
1026 # To use a name other than exim in the tcpwrappers config file,
1027 # e.g. if you're running multiple daemons with different access lists,
1028 # or multiple MTAs with the same access list, define
1029 # TCP_WRAPPERS_DAEMON_NAME accordingly
1031 # TCP_WRAPPERS_DAEMON_NAME="exim"
1034 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1035 # The default action of the exim_install script (which is run by "make
1036 # install") is to install the Exim binary with a unique name such as
1037 # exim-4.43-1, and then set up a symbolic link called "exim" to reference it,
1038 # moving the symbolic link from any previous version. If you define NO_SYMLINK
1039 # (the value doesn't matter), the symbolic link is not created or moved. You
1040 # will then have to "turn Exim on" by setting up the link manually.
1045 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1046 # Another default action of the install script is to install a default runtime
1047 # configuration file if one does not exist. This configuration has a router for
1048 # expanding system aliases. The default assumes that these aliases are kept
1049 # in the traditional file called /etc/aliases. If such a file does not exist,
1050 # the installation script creates one that contains just comments (no actual
1051 # aliases). The following setting can be changed to specify a different
1052 # location for the system alias file.
1054 SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE=/etc/aliases
1057 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1058 # There are some testing options (-be, -bt, -bv) that read data from the
1059 # standard input when no arguments are supplied. By default, the input lines
1060 # are read using the standard fgets() function. This does not support line
1061 # editing during interactive input (though the terminal's "erase" character
1062 # works as normal). If your operating system has the readline() function, and
1063 # in addition supports dynamic loading of library functions, you can cause
1064 # Exim to use readline() for the -be testing option (only) by uncommenting the
1065 # following setting. Dynamic loading is used so that the library is loaded only
1066 # when the -be testing option is given; by the time the loading occurs,
1067 # Exim has given up its root privilege and is running as the calling user. This
1068 # is the reason why readline() is NOT supported for -bt and -bv, because Exim
1069 # runs as root or as exim, respectively, for those options. When USE_READLINE
1070 # is "yes", as well as supporting line editing, a history of input lines in the
1071 # current run is maintained.
1075 # You may need to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS when you set USE_READLINE=yes.
1076 # Note that this option adds to the size of the Exim binary, because the
1077 # dynamic loading library is not otherwise included.

1126 # files, and thus be influenced by the value of TMPDIR. For this reason, when
1127 # Exim starts, it checks the environment for TMPDIR, and if it finds it is set,
1128 # it replaces the value with what is defined here. Commenting this setting
1129 # suppresses the check altogether.

1306 # Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid
1307 # (process id) to a file so that it can easily be identified. The path of the
1308 # file can be specified here. Some installations may want something like this:
1310 # PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim.pid
1312 # If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory
1313 # using the name "exim-daemon.pid".
1315 # If you start up a daemon without the -bd option (for example, with just
1316 # the -q15m option), a pid file is not written. Also, if you override the
1317 # configuration file with the -oX option, no pid file is written. In other
1318 # words, the pid file is written only for a "standard" daemon.

1337 # Moving frozen messages: If the following is uncommented, Exim is compiled
1338 # with support for automatically moving frozen messages out of the main spool
1339 # directory, a facility that is found useful by some large installations. A
1340 # run time option is required to cause the moving actually to occur. Such
1341 # messages become "invisible" to the normal management tools.

1347 # Expanding match_* second parameters: BE CAREFUL IF ENABLING THIS!
1348 # It has proven too easy in practice for administrators to configure security
1349 # problems into their Exim install, by treating match_domain{}{} and friends
1350 # as a form of string comparison, where the second string comes from untrusted
1351 # data. Because these options take lists, which can include lookup;LOOKUPDATA
1352 # style elements, a foe can then cause Exim to, eg, execute an arbitrary MySQL
1353 # query, dropping tables.
1354 # From Exim 4.77 onwards, the second parameter is not expanded; it can still
1355 # be a list literal, or a macro, or a named list reference. There is also
1356 # the new expansion condition "inlisti" which does expand the second parameter,
1357 # but treats it as a list of strings; also, there's "eqi" which is probably
1358 # what is normally wanted.
1360 # If you really need to have the old behaviour, know what you are doing and
1361 # will not complain if your system is compromised as a result of doing so, then
1362 # uncomment this option to get the old behaviour back.

1370 # Use it only when compiling Exim for your own use.
1372 # Uncommenting this line enables the use of a runtime option called
1373 # disable_fsync, which can be used to stop Exim using fsync() to ensure that
1374 # files are written to disc before proceeding. When this is disabled, crashes
