PH		 1LISTS OF EXIM OPTIONS
2---------------------

0bd1a913 4This file contains complete lists of four kinds of Exim option:

6 1. Those that can appear in the run time configuration file;
7 2. Those that can be used on the command line;
8 3. Those that can appear in the build time configuration (Local/Makefile);
9 4. Those that can appear in the build time configuration for the Exim monitor
10 (Local/eximon.conf).

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

7453. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM
746------------------------------
747
76ba6b0a
PP		 748The table below contains a "mostly" complete list of options that can be
749set in Local/Makefile when building Exim. The only items not included are
750those whose names can be trivially derived from rules stated below.
751
752More information about individual options can be found in src/EDITME and
753OS/Makefile-Default.
495ae4b0
PH		 754
755The second column below gives the type of option:
756
757 . `system' means the option is concerned with the operating system;
758
759 . `driver' means the option selects a driver to be included in the binary;
760
761 . `lookup' means the option selects a lookuptype to be included in the binary;
762
763 . `mandatory' means the option is required to be supplied;
764
765 . `recommended' means the option is recommended to be supplied;
766
767 . `optional' means what it says;
768
769Those marked with * are specialized and are unlikely to be required in most
770installations. Those that are marked with ** are commonly set in OS-specific
771Makefiles. If you use any of these in your Local/Makefile, you may need to
772reproduce some of the OS-specific settings. For example, in the Makefile for
773Solaris (which is actually called OS/Makefile-SunOS5), there is
774
775 LIBS=-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat
776
777If you use LIBS to add extra libraries, you must also include the OS ones in
778your setting. It is better, in this particular case, to use EXTRALIBS, which is
779empty by default, and is provided for just this reason. Of course, if you do
780actually want to modify a setting from the OS-specific file, there is nothing
781to stop you overriding it in your Local/Makefile.
782
76ba6b0a
PP		 783When building Exim with dynamically loaded lookup support, for "LOOKUP_FOO",
784you can define "LOOKUP_FOO_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_FOO_LIBS", for includes and
785libraries specific only to that module. These rules are only used where the
786relevant lookup is a module. These options are not explicitly listed below.
787
788Variables with names endined `_PC' are used for pkg-config integration; setting
789the value to the name of a pkg-config package will cause Exim's build system to
790query the --cflags and --libs for the given name, when building anything
791dependent upon the component associated with the `_PC' variable. For lookups,
792if the lookup is dynamically loaded, then this *replaces* the use of the
793corresponding _INCLUDE and _LIBS options, which will be ignored. If the lookup
794is statically loaded into Exim, the results will be inserted into the
795"LOOKUP_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_LIBS" options. For authenticator, the results
796will be inserted into the "CFLAGS" and "AUTH_LIBS" options. These options are
797only listed below for the TLS implementation cases.

9764. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIMON
977--------------------------------
978
979The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
980Local/eximon.conf when building the Exim monitor. Where the default is shown as
981** it means that the text string is too long to fit in the table and is instead
982given below. A blank default means that there is no default value.
983
984ACTION_OUTPUT=no show output for every action
985ACTION_QUEUE_UPDATE=yes update queue display after actions
986BODY_MAX=20000 maximum body display
987DOMAIN= domain to strip from window title
988LOG_BUFFER=20K buffer for log tail
989LOG_DEPTH=300 depth of log subwindow
990LOG_FONT=** font for log display
991LOG_STRIPCHARTS=** patterns for stripcharts
992LOG_WIDTH=950 width of log subwindow
993MENU_EVENT='Shift<Btn1Down>' keypress for menu
994MIN_HEIGHT=162 minimum window height
995MIN_WIDTH=103 minimum window width
996QUALIFY_DOMAIN= local domain to strip from addresses
997QUEUE_DEPTH=200 depth of queue subwindow
998QUEUE_FONT=$LOG_FONT font for queue display
999QUEUE_INTERVAL=300 queue refresh interval
1000QUEUE_MAX_ADDRESSES=10 max addresses to show in queue
1001QUEUE_STRIPCHART_NAME=queue name for queue stripchart
1002QUEUE_WIDTH=950 width of queue subwindow
1003SIZE_STRIPCHART= request partition size stripchart
1004SIZE_STRIPCHART_NAME=space name for size stripchart
1005START_SMALL=no if yes, start with small window
1006STRIPCHART_INTERVAL=60 stripchart refresh interval
1007TEXT_DEPTH=200 depth of text windows
1008WINDOW_TITLE="${hostname} eximon" window title
1009
1010The default for LOG_FONT is
1011
1012 LOG_FONT=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
1013
1014and the default for LOG_STRIPCHARTS is
1015
1016 LOG_STRIPCHARTS='/ <= /in/
1017 / => /out/
1018 / => .+ R=local/local/
1019 / => .+ T=[^ ]*smtp/smtp/'
1020
1021That is, there are four stripcharts, named in, out, local, and smtp. The first
1022counts message arrivals, the second counts all deliveries, the third counts
1023deliveries where the router's name starts with "local", and the fourth counts
1024deliveries where the transport name contains "smtp".
