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 website.
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"). #

53 # MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
54 ######################################################################
57 # Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully
58 # qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the
59 # uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases this does
60 # the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.
65 # The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts.
66 # These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
67 # +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
68 # are all colon-separated lists:
70 domainlist local_domains = @
71 domainlist relay_to_domains =
72 hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost
73 # (We rely upon hostname resolution working for localhost, because the default
74 # uncommented configuration needs to work in IPv4-only environments.)
76 # Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
77 # appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations,
78 # you may need to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) which appear later in
81 # The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
83 # domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
85 # You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
86 # setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
87 # as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
88 # deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
89 # addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
90 # "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
91 # list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
92 # recommended for today's Internet.
94 # The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
95 # If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
96 # if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
97 # must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
99 # domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
101 # This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
102 # See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
105 # The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
106 # to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
107 # complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
109 # hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 192.168.0.0/16
111 # The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
112 # have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
113 # SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
114 # sending mail. Often, connections are made to "localhost", which might be ::1
115 # on IPv6-enabled hosts. Do not forget CIDR for your IPv6 networks.
117 # All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item, including
118 # wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference
119 # manual for details. The lists above are used in the access control lists for
120 # checking incoming messages. The names of these ACLs are defined here:
122 acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
124 acl_smtp_data_prdr = acl_check_prdr
126 acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data
128 # You should not change those settings until you understand how ACLs work.
131 # If you are running a version of Exim that was compiled with the content-
132 # scanning extension, you can cause incoming messages to be automatically
133 # scanned for viruses. You have to modify the configuration in two places to
134 # set this up. The first of them is here, where you define the interface to
135 # your scanner. This example is typical for ClamAV; see the manual for details
136 # of what to set for other virus scanners. The second modification is in the
137 # acl_check_data access control list (see below).
139 # av_scanner = clamd:/tmp/clamd
142 # For spam scanning, there is a similar option that defines the interface to
143 # SpamAssassin. You do not need to set this if you are using the default, which
144 # is shown in this commented example. As for virus scanning, you must also
145 # modify the acl_check_data access control list to enable spam scanning.
147 # spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783
150 # If Exim is compiled with support for TLS, you may want to enable the
151 # following options so that Exim allows clients to make encrypted
152 # connections. In the authenticators section below, there are template
153 # configurations for plaintext username/password authentication. This kind
154 # of authentication is only safe when used within a TLS connection, so the
155 # authenticators will only work if the following TLS settings are turned on
158 # Allow any client to use TLS.
160 # tls_advertise_hosts = *
162 # Specify the location of the Exim server's TLS certificate and private key.
163 # The private key must not be encrypted (password protected). You can put

165 # need the first setting, or in separate files, in which case you need both

174 # In order to support roaming users who wish to send email from anywhere,
175 # you may want to make Exim listen on other ports as well as port 25, in
176 # case these users need to send email from a network that blocks port 25.
177 # The standard port for this purpose is port 587, the "message submission"
178 # port. See RFC 4409 for details. Microsoft MUAs cannot be configured to
179 # talk the message submission protocol correctly, so if you need to support
180 # them you should also allow TLS-on-connect on the traditional but

187 # Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses
188 # here. An unqualified address is one that does not contain an "@" character
189 # followed by a domain. For example, "caesar@rome.example" is a fully qualified
190 # address, but the string "caesar" (i.e. just a login name) is an unqualified
191 # email address. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
192 # default. See the recipient_unqualified_hosts option if you want to permit
193 # unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is not set, the
194 # primary_hostname value is used for qualification.
199 # If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be qualified with a different
200 # domain to unqualified sender addresses, specify the recipient domain here.

207 # addresses of the form "user@[10.11.12.13]" that is, with a "domain literal"
208 # (an IP address) instead of a named domain. The RFCs still require this form,
209 # but it makes little sense to permit mail to be sent to specific hosts by
210 # their IP address in the modern Internet. This ancient format has been used
211 # by those seeking to abuse hosts by using them for unwanted relaying. If you
212 # really do want to support domain literals, uncomment the following line, and
213 # see also the "domain_literal" router below.
215 # allow_domain_literals
218 # No deliveries will ever be run under the uids of users specified by
219 # never_users (a colon-separated list). An attempt to do so causes a panic
220 # error to be logged, and the delivery to be deferred. This is a paranoic
221 # safety catch. There is an even stronger safety catch in the form of the
222 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS setting in the configuration for building Exim. The list of
223 # users that it specifies is built into the binary, and cannot be changed. The
224 # option below just adds additional users to the list. The default for
225 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS is "root", but just to be absolutely sure, the default here
228 # Note that the default setting means you cannot deliver mail addressed to root
229 # as if it were a normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have
230 # an alias for root that redirects such mail to a human administrator.
235 # The setting below causes Exim to do a reverse DNS lookup on all incoming
236 # IP calls, in order to get the true host name. If you feel this is too
237 # expensive, you can specify the networks for which a lookup is done, or
238 # remove the setting entirely.
243 # The setting below causes Exim to try to initialize the system resolver
244 # library with DNSSEC support. It has no effect if your library lacks

253 # the timeout to zero, all RFC 1413 calls are disabled. RFC 1413 calls
254 # are cheap and can provide useful information for tracing problem
255 # messages, but some hosts and firewalls have problems with them.
256 # This can result in a timeout instead of an immediate refused
257 # connection, leading to delays on starting up SMTP sessions.

392 # The following section of the ACL is concerned with local parts that contain
393 # @ or % or ! or / or | or dots in unusual places.
395 # The characters other than dots are rarely found in genuine local parts, but
396 # are often tried by people looking to circumvent relaying restrictions.
397 # Therefore, although they are valid in local parts, these rules lock them
398 # out, as a precaution.
400 # Empty components (two dots in a row) are not valid in RFC 2822, but Exim
401 # allows them because they have been encountered. (Consider local parts
402 # constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
403 # someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
404 # with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a
405 # file name (e.g. for a mailing list). This is also true for local parts that
406 # contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is
407 # incorporated unthinkingly into a shell command line.
409 # Two different rules are used. The first one is stricter, and is applied to
410 # messages that are addressed to one of the local domains handled by this
411 # host. The line "domains = +local_domains" restricts it to domains that are
412 # defined by the "domainlist local_domains" setting above. The rule blocks

423 # the "domainlist local_domains" setting above. The exclamation mark is a
424 # negating operator. This rule allows your own users to send outgoing
425 # messages to sites that use slashes and vertical bars in their local parts.
