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

190 # You need to specify some routers and transports if you want the Exim that you

252 # If not using package management but using this anyway, then think about how
253 # you perform upgrades and revert them. You should consider the benefit of
254 # embedding the Exim version number into LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR, so that you can
255 # maintain two concurrent sets of modules.
257 # To build a module dynamically, you'll need to define CFLAGS_DYNAMIC for
259 # CFLAGS_DYNAMIC=-shared -rdynamic
260 # CFLAGS_DYNAMIC=-shared -rdynamic -fPIC
262 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
263 # These settings determine which file and database lookup methods are included

265 # for discussion. DBM and lsearch (linear search) are included by default. If
266 # you are unsure about the others, leave them commented out for now.

272 # add -export-dynamic -rdynamic to EXTRALIBS. You may also need to add -ldl to
273 # EXTRALIBS so that dlopen() is available to Exim. You need to define
274 # LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR above so the exim binary actually loads dynamic lookup
276 # Also, instead of adding all the libraries/includes to LOOKUP_INCLUDE and
277 # LOOKUP_LIBS, add them to the respective LOOKUP_*_INCLUDE and LOOKUP_*_LIBS
278 # (where * is the name as given here in this list). That ensures that only

285 # the name of the pkg-config package, if such is available.
302 # LOOKUP_SQLITE_PC=sqlite3
305 # These two settings are obsolete; all three lookups are compiled when
306 # LOOKUP_LSEARCH is enabled. However, we retain these for backward

309 # LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH=yes
310 # LOOKUP_NWILDLSEARCH=yes
313 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
314 # If you have set LOOKUP_LDAP=yes, you should set LDAP_LIB_TYPE to indicate
315 # which LDAP library you have. Unfortunately, though most of their functions
316 # are the same, there are minor differences. Currently Exim knows about four
317 # LDAP libraries: the one from the University of Michigan (also known as
318 # OpenLDAP 1), OpenLDAP 2, the Netscape SDK library, and the library that comes
319 # with Solaris 7 onwards. Uncomment whichever of these you are using.
321 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=OPENLDAP1
322 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=OPENLDAP2
323 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=NETSCAPE
324 # LDAP_LIB_TYPE=SOLARIS
326 # If you don't set any of these, Exim assumes the original University of
327 # Michigan (OpenLDAP 1) library.
330 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
331 # The PCRE library is required for exim. There is no longer an embedded
332 # version of the PCRE library included with the source code, instead you
333 # must use a system library or build your own copy of PCRE.
334 # In either case you must specify the library link info here. If the
335 # PCRE header files are not in the standard search path you must also
336 # modify the INCLUDE path (above)

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

369 # Compiling Exim with content scanning support: If you want to compile Exim
370 # with support for message body content scanning, set WITH_CONTENT_SCAN to
371 # the value "yes". This will give you malware and spam scanning in the DATA ACL,
372 # and the MIME ACL. Please read the documentation to learn more about these
375 # WITH_CONTENT_SCAN=yes
377 # If you want to use the deprecated "demime" condition in the DATA ACL,

379 # WITH_CONTENT_SCAN option. If possible, use the MIME ACL instead of
380 # the "demime" condition.
382 # WITH_OLD_DEMIME=yes
384 # If you're using ClamAV and are backporting fixes to an old version, instead
385 # of staying current (which is the more usual approach) then you may need to

438 ###############################################################################
440 # The items in this section are those that are commonly changed according to
441 # the sysadmin's preferences, but whose defaults are often acceptable. The
442 # first five are concerned with security issues, where differing levels of
443 # paranoia are appropriate in different environments. Sysadmins also vary in
444 # their views on appropriate levels of defence in these areas. If you do not
445 # understand these issues, go with the defaults, which are used by many sites.
448 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
449 # Although Exim is normally a setuid program, owned by root, it refuses to run
450 # local deliveries as root by default. There is a runtime option called
451 # "never_users" which lists the users that must never be used for local
452 # deliveries. There is also the setting below, which provides a list that
453 # cannot be overridden at runtime. This guards against problems caused by
454 # unauthorized changes to the runtime configuration. You are advised not to
455 # remove "root" from this option, but you can add other users if you want. The
456 # list is colon-separated. It must NOT contain any spaces.
458 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root:bin:daemon
459 FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root
462 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
463 # By default, Exim insists that its configuration file be owned by root. You
464 # can specify one additional permitted owner here.
468 # If the configuration file is group-writeable, Exim insists by default that it
469 # is owned by root. You can specify one additional permitted group owner here.
473 # If you specify CONFIGURE_OWNER or CONFIGURE_GROUP as a name, this is looked
474 # up at build time, and the uid or gid number is built into the binary.
475 # However, you can specify that the lookup is deferred until runtime. In this
476 # case, it is the name that is built into the binary. You can do this by a
477 # setting of the form:
479 # CONFIGURE_OWNER=ref:mail
480 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=ref:sysadmin
482 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user or group name. Although this
483 # costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use this feature when
484 # building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems where the names may
485 # refer to different uids or gids. It also allows you to build Exim on a system
486 # where the relevant user or group is not defined.
489 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
490 # The -C option allows Exim to be run with an alternate runtime configuration
491 # file. When this is used by root, root privilege is retained by the binary
492 # (for any other caller including the Exim user, it is dropped). You can
493 # restrict the location of alternate configurations by defining a prefix below.
494 # Any file used with -C must then start with this prefix (except that /dev/null
495 # is also permitted if the caller is root, because that is used in the install
496 # script). If the prefix specifies a directory that is owned by root, a
497 # compromise of the Exim account does not permit arbitrary alternate
498 # configurations to be used. The prefix can be more restrictive than just a
499 # directory (the second example).
501 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/
502 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/exim.conf-
505 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
506 # When a user other than root uses the -C option to override the configuration
507 # file (including the Exim user when re-executing Exim to regain root
508 # privileges for local message delivery), this will normally cause Exim to
509 # drop root privileges. The TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST option, specifies a file which
510 # contains a list of trusted configuration filenames, one per line. If the -C
511 # option is used by the Exim user or by the user specified in the
512 # CONFIGURE_OWNER setting, to specify a configuration file which is listed in
513 # the TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file, then root privileges are not dropped by Exim.
515 # TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST=/usr/exim/trusted_configs
518 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
519 # Uncommenting this option disables the use of the -D command line option,
520 # which changes the values of macros in the runtime configuration file.
521 # This is another protection against somebody breaking into the Exim account.
523 # DISABLE_D_OPTION=yes
526 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
527 # By contrast, you might be maintaining a system which relies upon the ability
528 # to override values with -D and assumes that these will be passed through to
529 # the delivery processes. As of Exim 4.73, this is no longer the case by
530 # default. Going forward, we strongly recommend that you use a shim Exim
531 # configuration file owned by root stored under TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST.
532 # That shim can set macros before .include'ing your main configuration file.
534 # As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
535 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS value definies a colon-separated list of macro-names
536 # which are permitted to be overridden from the command-line which will be
537 # honoured by the Exim user. So these are macros that can persist to delivery
539 # Examples might be -DTLS or -DSPOOL=/some/dir. The values on the
540 # command-line are filtered to only permit: [A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*
542 # This option is highly likely to be removed in a future release. It exists
543 # only to make 4.73 as easy as possible to migrate to. If you use it, we
544 # encourage you to schedule time to rework your configuration to not depend
545 # upon it. Most people should not need to use this.
547 # By default, no macros are whitelisted for -D usage.

552 # Exim has support for the AUTH (authentication) extension of the SMTP
553 # protocol, as defined by RFC 2554. If you don't know what SMTP authentication
554 # is, you probably won't want to include this code, so you should leave these
555 # settings commented out. If you do want to make use of SMTP authentication,
556 # you must uncomment at least one of the following, so that appropriate code is

584 # When Exim is decoding MIME "words" in header lines, most commonly for use
585 # in the $header_xxx expansion, it converts any foreign character sets to the
586 # one that is set in the headers_charset option. The default setting is
587 # defined by this setting:
589 HEADERS_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"
591 # If you are going to make use of $header_xxx expansions in your configuration
592 # file, or if your users are going to use them in filter files, and the normal
593 # character set on your host is something other than ISO-8859-1, you might
594 # like to specify a different default here. This value can be overridden in
595 # the runtime configuration, and it can also be overridden in individual filter
598 # IMPORTANT NOTE: The iconv() function is needed for character code
599 # conversions. Please see the next item...
602 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
603 # Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
604 # installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
605 # is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
606 # the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
607 # as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
611 # If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
612 # need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
613 # and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
614 # something like this:
617 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
618 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
620 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
624 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
625 # The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
626 # function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
627 # "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
628 # configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
629 # operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
630 # 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
631 # supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.
633 # You can always indicate a crypt16-encrypted password by preceding it with
634 # "{crypt16}". If you want the default handling (without any preceding
635 # indicator) to use crypt16(), uncomment the following line:
637 # DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16
639 # If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding
640 # an encrypted password with "{crypt}". For more details, see the description
641 # of the "crypteq" condition in the manual chapter on string expansions.
643 # Some operating systems do not include a crypt16() function, so Exim has one
644 # of its own, which it uses unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined. Normally, that will
645 # be set in an OS-specific Makefile for the OS that have such a function, so
646 # you should not need to bother with it.
648 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
649 # It turns out that the above is not entirely accurate. As well as crypt16()
650 # there is a function called bigcrypt() that some operating systems have. This
651 # may or may not use the same algorithm, and both of them may be different to
652 # Exim's built-in crypt16() that is used unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined.
654 # However, since there is now a move away from the traditional crypt()
655 # functions towards using SHA1 and other algorithms, tidying up this area of
656 # Exim is seen as very low priority. In practice, if you need to, you can
657 # define DEFAULT_CRYPT to the name of any function that has the same interface
658 # as the traditional crypt() function.
659 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
662 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
663 # Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
664 # Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
665 # must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
666 # no cryptographic code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want
667 # to build Exim with TLS support. If you don't know what this is all about,
668 # leave these settings commented out.
670 # This setting is required for any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS)
673 # Uncomment one of these settings if you are using OpenSSL; pkg-config vs not
674 # USE_OPENSSL_PC=openssl
675 # TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto
677 # Uncomment the first and either the second or the third of these if you
678 # are using GnuTLS. If you have pkg-config, then the second, else the third.
680 # USE_GNUTLS_PC=gnutls
681 # TLS_LIBS=-lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
683 # If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
684 # support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
685 # certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
686 # and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
687 # to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
688 # if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
689 # is all you need to do.
691 # If you are using pkg-config then you should not need to worry where the
692 # libraries and headers are installed, as the pkg-config .pc specification
693 # should include all -L/-I information necessary. If not using pkg-config
694 # then you might need to specify the locations too.
696 # Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
697 # GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
698 # with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
699 # need something like
701 # TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
703 # TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
705 # TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
706 # auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
707 # set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
709 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
711 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include
713 # You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
714 # specified in INCLUDE.
717 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
718 # The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
719 # documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
720 # the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
721 # sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
722 # with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
723 # version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
724 # because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
725 # example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball upacks into a
726 # directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
727 # In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
728 # have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
729 # directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
730 # Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and
731 # install them in the directory you have defined.
733 # INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info
736 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
737 # Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
738 # single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
739 # log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
740 # called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
741 # the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
742 # this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
743 # %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
744 # to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
746 # LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
748 # which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
749 # in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
750 # it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
751 # of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
752 # must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
754 # You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
755 # files, by settings such as these
757 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
758 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
760 # The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes
761 # to log files. Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up
762 # the building process.
765 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
766 # When logging to syslog, the following option caters for syslog replacements
767 # that are able to accept log entries longer than the 1024 characters allowed
768 # by RFC 3164. It is up to you to make sure your syslog daemon can handle this.
769 # Non-printable characters are usually unacceptable regardless, so log entries
770 # are still split on newline characters.
772 # SYSLOG_LONG_LINES=yes
774 # If you are not interested in the process identifier (pid) of the Exim that is
775 # making the call to syslog, then comment out the following line.
780 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
781 # Cycling log files: this variable specifies the maximum number of old
782 # log files that are kept by the exicyclog log-cycling script. You don't have
783 # to use exicyclog. If your operating system has other ways of cycling log
784 # files, you can use them instead. The exicyclog script isn't run by default;
785 # you have to set up a cron job for it if you want it.
790 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
791 # The compress command is used by the exicyclog script to compress old log
792 # files. Both the name of the command and the suffix that it adds to files
793 # need to be defined here. See also the EXICYCLOG_MAX configuration.

807 # Compiling in support for embedded Perl: If you want to be able to
808 # use Perl code in Exim's string manipulation language and you have Perl
809 # (version 5.004 or later) installed, set EXIM_PERL to perl.o. Using embedded
810 # Perl costs quite a lot of resources. Only do this if you really need it.
815 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
816 # Support for dynamically-loaded string expansion functions via ${dlfunc. If
817 # you are using gcc the dynamically-loaded object must be compiled with the
818 # -shared option, and you will need to add -export-dynamic to EXTRALIBS so
819 # that the local_scan API is made available by the linker. You may also need
820 # to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS so that dlopen() is available to Exim.
825 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
826 # Exim has support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules), a facility
827 # which is available in the latest releases of Solaris and in some GNU/Linux
828 # distributions (see http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/). The Exim
829 # support, which is intended for use in conjunction with the SMTP AUTH
830 # facilities, is included only when requested by the following setting:
834 # You probably need to add -lpam to EXTRALIBS, and in some releases of
835 # GNU/Linux -ldl is also needed.
838 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
839 # Support for authentication via Radius is also available. The Exim support,
840 # which is intended for use in conjunction with the SMTP AUTH facilities,
841 # is included only when requested by setting the following parameter to the
842 # location of your Radius configuration file:
844 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
845 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radius.conf
847 # If you have set RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE, you should also set one of these to
848 # indicate which RADIUS library is used:
850 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENT
851 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENTNEW
852 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADLIB
854 # RADIUSCLIENT is the radiusclient library; you probably need to add
855 # -lradiusclient to EXTRALIBS.
857 # The API for the radiusclient library was changed at release 0.4.0.
858 # Unfortunately, the header file does not define a version number that clients
859 # can use to support both the old and new APIs. If you are using version 0.4.0
860 # or later of the radiusclient library, you should use RADIUSCLIENTNEW.
862 # RADLIB is the Radius library that comes with FreeBSD (the header file is
863 # called radlib.h); you probably need to add -lradius to EXTRALIBS.
865 # If you do not set RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, Exim assumes the radiusclient library,
866 # using the original API.
869 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
870 # Support for authentication via the Cyrus SASL pwcheck daemon is available.
871 # Note, however, that pwcheck is now deprecated in favour of saslauthd (see
872 # next item). The Exim support for pwcheck, which is intented for use in
873 # conjunction with the SMTP AUTH facilities, is included only when requested by
874 # setting the following parameter to the location of the pwcheck daemon's
877 # There is no need to install all of SASL on your system. You just need to run
878 # ./configure --with-pwcheck, cd to the pwcheck directory within the sources,
879 # make and make install. You must create the socket directory (default
880 # /var/pwcheck) and chown it to exim's user and group. Once you have installed
881 # pwcheck, you should arrange for it to be started by root at boot time.
883 # CYRUS_PWCHECK_SOCKET=/var/pwcheck/pwcheck
886 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
887 # Support for authentication via the Cyrus SASL saslauthd daemon is available.

904 # TCP wrappers: If you want to use tcpwrappers from within Exim, uncomment
905 # this setting. See the manual section entitled "Use of tcpwrappers" in the
906 # chapter on building and installing Exim.
908 # USE_TCP_WRAPPERS=yes
910 # You may well also have to specify a local "include" file and an additional
911 # library for TCP wrappers, so you probably need something like this:
913 # USE_TCP_WRAPPERS=yes
914 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
915 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -lwrap
917 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
920 # To use a name other than exim in the tcpwrappers config file,
921 # e.g. if you're running multiple daemons with different access lists,
922 # or multiple MTAs with the same access list, define
923 # TCP_WRAPPERS_DAEMON_NAME accordingly
925 # TCP_WRAPPERS_DAEMON_NAME="exim"
928 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
929 # The default action of the exim_install script (which is run by "make
930 # install") is to install the Exim binary with a unique name such as
931 # exim-4.43-1, and then set up a symbolic link called "exim" to reference it,
932 # moving the symbolic link from any previous version. If you define NO_SYMLINK
933 # (the value doesn't matter), the symbolic link is not created or moved. You
934 # will then have to "turn Exim on" by setting up the link manually.
939 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
940 # Another default action of the install script is to install a default runtime
941 # configuration file if one does not exist. This configuration has a router for
942 # expanding system aliases. The default assumes that these aliases are kept
943 # in the traditional file called /etc/aliases. If such a file does not exist,
944 # the installation script creates one that contains just comments (no actual
945 # aliases). The following setting can be changed to specify a different
946 # location for the system alias file.
948 SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE=/etc/aliases
951 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
952 # There are some testing options (-be, -bt, -bv) that read data from the
953 # standard input when no arguments are supplied. By default, the input lines
954 # are read using the standard fgets() function. This does not support line
955 # editing during interactive input (though the terminal's "erase" character
956 # works as normal). If your operating system has the readline() function, and
957 # in addition supports dynamic loading of library functions, you can cause
958 # Exim to use readline() for the -be testing option (only) by uncommenting the
959 # following setting. Dynamic loading is used so that the library is loaded only
960 # when the -be testing option is given; by the time the loading occurs,
961 # Exim has given up its root privilege and is running as the calling user. This
962 # is the reason why readline() is NOT supported for -bt and -bv, because Exim
963 # runs as root or as exim, respectively, for those options. When USE_READLINE
964 # is "yes", as well as supporting line editing, a history of input lines in the
965 # current run is maintained.
969 # You may need to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS when you set USE_READLINE=yes.
970 # Note that this option adds to the size of the Exim binary, because the
971 # dynamic loading library is not otherwise included.

1016 # files, and thus be influenced by the value of TMPDIR. For this reason, when
1017 # Exim starts, it checks the environment for TMPDIR, and if it finds it is set,
1018 # it replaces the value with what is defined here. Commenting this setting
1019 # suppresses the check altogether.

1153 # Network interfaces: Unless you set the local_interfaces option in the runtime
1154 # configuration file to restrict Exim to certain interfaces only, it will run
1155 # code to find all the interfaces there are on your host. Unfortunately,
1156 # the call to the OS that does this requires a buffer large enough to hold
1157 # data for all the interfaces - it was designed in the days when a host rarely
1158 # had more than three or four interfaces. Nowadays hosts can have very many
1159 # virtual interfaces running on the same hardware. If you have more than 250
1160 # virtual interfaces, you will need to uncomment this setting and increase the

1167 # Per-message logs: While a message is in the process of being delivered,
1168 # comments on its progress are written to a message log, for the benefit of
1169 # human administrators. These logs are held in a directory called "msglog"
1170 # in the spool directory. Its mode defaults to 0750, but can be changed here.
1171 # The message log directory is also used for storing files that are used by
1172 # transports for returning data to a message's sender (see the "return_output"
1173 # option for transports).

1178 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1179 # There are three options which are used when compiling the Perl interface and
1180 # when linking with Perl. The default values for these are placed automatically
1181 # at the head of the Makefile by the script which builds it. However, if you
1182 # want to override them, you can do so here.
1189 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1190 # Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid
1191 # (process id) to a file so that it can easily be identified. The path of the
1192 # file can be specified here. Some installations may want something like this:
1194 # PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim.pid
1196 # If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory
1197 # using the name "exim-daemon.pid".
1199 # If you start up a daemon without the -bd option (for example, with just
1200 # the -q15m option), a pid file is not written. Also, if you override the
1201 # configuration file with the -oX option, no pid file is written. In other
1202 # words, the pid file is written only for a "standard" daemon.
1205 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1206 # If Exim creates the spool directory, it is given this mode, defaulting in the
1209 # SPOOL_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750
1212 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1213 # The mode of files on the input spool which hold the contents of messages can
1214 # be changed here. The default is 0640 so that information from the spool is
1215 # available to anyone who is a member of the Exim group.
1220 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1221 # Moving frozen messages: If the following is uncommented, Exim is compiled
1222 # with support for automatically moving frozen messages out of the main spool
1223 # directory, a facility that is found useful by some large installations. A
1224 # run time option is required to cause the moving actually to occur. Such
1225 # messages become "invisible" to the normal management tools.

1231 # Expanding match_* second paramters: BE CAREFUL IF ENABLING THIS!
1232 # It has proven too easy in practice for administrators to configure security
1233 # problems into their Exim install, by treating match_domain{}{} and friends
1234 # as a form of string comparison, where the second string comes from untrusted
1235 # data. Because these options take lists, which can include lookup;LOOKUPDATA
1236 # style elements, a foe can then cause Exim to, eg, execute an arbitrary MySQL
1237 # query, dropping tables.
1238 # From Exim 4.77 onwards, the second parameter is not expanded; it can still
1239 # be a list literal, or a macro, or a named list reference. There is also
1240 # the new expansion condition "inlisti" which does expand the second parameter,
1241 # but treats it as a list of strings; also, there's "eqi" which is probably
1242 # what is normally wanted.
1244 # If you really need to have the old behaviour, know what you are doing and
1245 # will not complain if your system is compromised as a result of doing so, then
1246 # uncomment this option to get the old behaviour back.

1254 # Use it only when compiling Exim for your own use.
1256 # Uncommenting this line enables the use of a runtime option called
1257 # disable_fsync, which can be used to stop Exim using fsync() to ensure that
1258 # files are written to disc before proceeding. When this is disabled, crashes
