7# This is the template for Exim's main build-time configuration file. It
8# contains settings that are independent of any operating system. These are
9# things that are mostly sysadmin choices. The items below are divided into
10# those you must specify, those you probably want to specify, those you might
11# often want to specify, and those that you almost never need to mention.
12
13# Edit this file and save the result to a file called Local/Makefile within the
14# Exim distribution directory before running the "make" command.
15
16# Things that depend on the operating system have default settings in
17# OS/Makefile-Default, but these are overridden for some OS by files called
18# called OS/Makefile-<osname>. You can further override these by creating files
19# called Local/Makefile-<osname>, where "<osname>" stands for the name of your
20# operating system - look at the names in the OS directory to see which names
21# are recognized.
22
23# However, if you are building Exim for a single OS only, you don't need to
24# worry about setting up Local/Makefile-<osname>. Any build-time configuration
25# settings you require can in fact be placed in the one file called
26# Local/Makefile. It is only if you are building for several OS from the same
27# source files that you need to worry about splitting off your own OS-dependent
28# settings into separate files. (There's more explanation about how this all
29# works in the toplevel README file, under "Modifying the building process", as
30# well as in the Exim specification.)
31
32# One OS-specific thing that may need to be changed is the command for running
33# the C compiler; the overall default is gcc, but some OS Makefiles specify cc.
34# You can override anything that is set by putting CC=whatever in your
35# Local/Makefile.
36
37# NOTE: You should never need to edit any of the distributed Makefiles; all
38# overriding can be done in your Local/Makefile(s). This will make it easier
39# for you when the next release comes along.
40
41# The location of the X11 libraries is something else that is quite variable
42# even between different versions of the same operating system (and indeed
43# there are different versions of X11 as well, of course). The four settings
44# concerned here are X11, XINCLUDE, XLFLAGS (linking flags) and X11_LD_LIB
45# (dynamic run-time library). You need not worry about X11 unless you want to
46# compile the Exim monitor utility. Exim itself does not use X11.
47
48# Another area of variability between systems is the type and location of the
49# DBM library package. Exim has support for ndbm, gdbm, tdb, and Berkeley DB.
50# By default the code assumes ndbm; this often works with gdbm or DB, provided
51# they are correctly installed, via their compatibility interfaces. However,
52# Exim can also be configured to use the native calls for Berkeley DB (obsolete
53# versions 1.85, 2.x, 3.x, or the current 4.x version) and also for gdbm.
54
55# For some operating systems, a default DBM library (other than ndbm) is
56# selected by a setting in the OS-specific Makefile. Most modern OS now have
57# a DBM library installed as standard, and in many cases this will be selected
58# for you by the OS-specific configuration. If Exim compiles without any
59# problems, you probably do not have to worry about the DBM library. If you
60# do want or need to change it, you should first read the discussion in the
61# file doc/dbm.discuss.txt, which also contains instructions for testing Exim's
62# interface to the DBM library.
63
64# In Local/Makefiles blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored. It is
65# also permitted to use the # character to add a comment to a setting, for
66# example
67#
68# EXIM_GID=42 # the "mail" group
69#
70# However, with some versions of "make" this works only if there is no white
71# space between the end of the setting and the #, so perhaps it is best
72# avoided. A consequence of this facility is that it is not possible to have
73# the # character present in any setting, but I can't think of any cases where
74# this would be wanted.

83# Exim will not build unless you specify BIN_DIRECTORY, CONFIGURE_FILE, and
84# EXIM_USER. You also need EXIM_GROUP if EXIM_USER specifies a uid by number.
85
86# If you don't specify SPOOL_DIRECTORY, Exim won't fail to build. However, it
87# really is a very good idea to specify it here rather than at run time. This
88# is particularly true if you let the logs go to their default location in the
89# spool directory, because it means that the location of the logs is known
90# before Exim has read the run time configuration file.
91
92#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
93# BIN_DIRECTORY defines where the exim binary will be installed by "make
94# install". The path is also used internally by Exim when it needs to re-invoke
95# itself, either to send an error message, or to recover root privilege. Exim's
96# utility binaries and scripts are also installed in this directory. There is
97# no "standard" place for the binary directory. Some people like to keep all
98# the Exim files under one directory such as /usr/exim; others just let the
99# Exim binaries go into an existing directory such as /usr/sbin or
100# /usr/local/sbin. The installation script will try to create this directory,
101# and any superior directories, if they do not exist.
102
103BIN_DIRECTORY=/usr/exim/bin
104
105
106#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
107# CONFIGURE_FILE defines where Exim's run time configuration file is to be
108# found. It is the complete pathname for the file, not just a directory. The
109# location of all other run time files and directories can be changed in the
110# run time configuration file. There is a lot of variety in the choice of
111# location in different OS, and in the preferences of different sysadmins. Some
112# common locations are in /etc or /etc/mail or /usr/local/etc or
113# /usr/local/etc/mail. Another possibility is to keep all the Exim files under
114# a single directory such as /usr/exim. Whatever you choose, the installation
115# script will try to make the directory and any superior directories if they
116# don't exist. It will also install a default runtime configuration if this
117# file does not exist.
118
119CONFIGURE_FILE=/usr/exim/configure
120
121# It is possible to specify a colon-separated list of files for CONFIGURE_FILE.
122# In this case, Exim will use the first of them that exists when it is run.
123# However, if a list is specified, the installation script no longer tries to
124# make superior directories or to install a default runtime configuration.
125
126
127#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
128# The Exim binary must normally be setuid root, so that it starts executing as
129# root, but (depending on the options with which it is called) it does not
130# always need to retain the root privilege. These settings define the user and
131# group that is used for Exim processes when they no longer need to be root. In
132# particular, this applies when receiving messages and when doing remote
133# deliveries. (Local deliveries run as various non-root users, typically as the
10385c15 134# owner of a local mailbox.) Specifying these values as root is not supported.

136EXIM_USER=
137
138# If you specify EXIM_USER as a name, this is looked up at build time, and the
139# uid number is built into the binary. However, you can specify that this
140# lookup is deferred until runtime. In this case, it is the name that is built
141# into the binary. You can do this by a setting of the form:
142
143# EXIM_USER=ref:exim
144
145# In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user name. If you set EXIM_USER
146# like this, any value specified for EXIM_GROUP is also passed "by reference".
147# Although this costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use
148# this feature when building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems
149# where the name may refer to different uids. It also allows you to build Exim
150# on a system where there is no Exim user defined.
151
152# If the setting of EXIM_USER is numeric (e.g. EXIM_USER=42), there must
153# also be a setting of EXIM_GROUP. If, on the other hand, you use a name
154# for EXIM_USER (e.g. EXIM_USER=exim), you don't need to set EXIM_GROUP unless
155# you want to use a group other than the default group for the given user.
156
157# EXIM_GROUP=
158
159# Many sites define a user called "exim", with an appropriate default group,
160# and use
161#
162# EXIM_USER=exim
163#
164# while leaving EXIM_GROUP unspecified (commented out).
165
166
167#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
168# SPOOL_DIRECTORY defines the directory where all the data for messages in
169# transit is kept. It is strongly recommended that you define it here, though
170# it is possible to leave this till the run time configuration.
171
172# Exim creates the spool directory if it does not exist. The owner and group
173# will be those defined by EXIM_USER and EXIM_GROUP, and this also applies to
174# all the files and directories that are created in the spool directory.
175
176# Almost all installations choose this:

523# When Exim is decoding MIME "words" in header lines, most commonly for use
524# in the $header_xxx expansion, it converts any foreign character sets to the
525# one that is set in the headers_charset option. The default setting is
526# defined by this setting:
527
528HEADERS_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"
529
530# If you are going to make use of $header_xxx expansions in your configuration
531# file, or if your users are going to use them in filter files, and the normal
532# character set on your host is something other than ISO-8859-1, you might
533# like to specify a different default here. This value can be overridden in
534# the runtime configuration, and it can also be overridden in individual filter
535# files.
536#
537# IMPORTANT NOTE: The iconv() function is needed for character code
538# conversions. Please see the next item...
539
540
541#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
542# Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
543# installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
544# is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
545# the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
546# as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
547#
548# HAVE_ICONV=yes
549#
550# If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
551# need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
552# and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
553# something like this:
554#
555# HAVE_ICONV=yes
556# CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
557# EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
558#
559# but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
560# as well.
561
562
563#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
564# The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
565# function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
566# "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
567# configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
568# operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
569# 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
96c065cb 570# supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.
059ec3d9
PH
571
572# You can always indicate a crypt16-encrypted password by preceding it with
573# "{crypt16}". If you want the default handling (without any preceding
574# indicator) to use crypt16(), uncomment the following line:
575
576# DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16
577
578# If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding
579# an encrypted password with "{crypt}". For more details, see the description
580# of the "crypteq" condition in the manual chapter on string expansions.

582# Some operating systems do not include a crypt16() function, so Exim has one
583# of its own, which it uses unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined. Normally, that will
584# be set in an OS-specific Makefile for the OS that have such a function, so
585# you should not need to bother with it.
586
587# *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
588# It turns out that the above is not entirely accurate. As well as crypt16()

590# may or may not use the same algorithm, and both of them may be different to
591# Exim's built-in crypt16() that is used unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined.
592#
593# However, since there is now a move away from the traditional crypt()
594# functions towards using SHA1 and other algorithms, tidying up this area of
595# Exim is seen as very low priority. In practice, if you need to, you can

602# Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
603# Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
604# must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
605# no cryptographic code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want
606# to build Exim with TLS support. If you don't know what this is all about,
607# leave these settings commented out.
608
609# This setting is required for any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS)
610# SUPPORT_TLS=yes
611
612# Uncomment this setting if you are using OpenSSL
613# TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto
614
615# Uncomment these settings if you are using GnuTLS
616# USE_GNUTLS=yes
617# TLS_LIBS=-lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
618
619# If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
620# support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
621# certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
622# and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
623# to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
624# if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
625# is all you need to do.
626
627# Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
628# GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
629# with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
630# need something like
631
632# TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
633# or
634# TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
635
636# TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
637# auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
638# set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
639
640# TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
641# or
642# TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include
643
644# You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
645# specified in INCLUDE.
646
647
648#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
649# The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
650# documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
651# the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
652# sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
653# with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
654# version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
655# because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
656# example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball upacks into a
657# directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
658# In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
659# have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
660# directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
661# Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and

668# Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
669# single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
670# log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
671# called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
672# the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
673# this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
674# %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
675# to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
676
677# LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
678
679# which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
680# in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
681# it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
682# of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
683# must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
684
685# You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
686# files, by settings such as these
687
688# LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
689# LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
690
691# The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes

943# In some operating systems, the value of the TMPDIR environment variable
944# controls where temporary files are created. Exim does not make use of
945# temporary files, except when delivering to MBX mailboxes. However, if Exim
946# calls any external libraries (e.g. DBM libraries), they may use temporary
947# files, and thus be influenced by the value of TMPDIR. For this reason, when
948# Exim starts, it checks the environment for TMPDIR, and if it finds it is set,
949# it replaces the value with what is defined here. Commenting this setting
950# suppresses the check altogether.

967# In some installations there may be multiple machines sharing file systems,

969# machines. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE is defined, then Exim will first look
970# for a configuration file whose name is that defined by CONFIGURE_FILE,
971# with the node name obtained by uname() tacked on the end, separated by a
972# period (for example, /usr/exim/configure.host.in.some.domain). If this file
973# does not exist, then the bare configuration file name is tried.

982# Exim will first look for a configuration file whose name is that defined
983# by CONFIGURE_FILE, with the effective uid tacked on the end, separated by
984# a period (for eximple, /usr/exim/configure.0). If this file does not exist,
985# then the bare configuration file name is tried. In the case when both
986# CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID and CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE are set, four files
