3LISTS OF EXIM OPTIONS
4---------------------

0bd1a913 6This file contains complete lists of four kinds of Exim option:

PH		 7
8 1. Those that can appear in the run time configuration file;
9 2. Those that can be used on the command line;
10 3. Those that can appear in the build time configuration (Local/Makefile);
11 4. Those that can appear in the build time configuration for the Exim monitor
12 (Local/eximon.conf).
13
2e2a30b4 14This file was last updated for Exim release 4.51.

171. RUN TIME OPTIONS
18-------------------
19
20As Exim has developed, new options have been added at each major release. For
21the most part, backwards compatibility has been maintained, and obsolete
22options continue to be recognized. However, incompatible changes took place at
23releases 3.00, and 4.00. In both cases, several groups of options were
24amalgamated into new, extended options, and obsolete options were removed.
25
26The table below contains a complete list of all Exim's current options, along
27with their types, default values, and where they can be used. String options
28that are expanded before use are marked with *. Host lists, domain lists, and
29address lists are always expanded. In some cases the defaults are not fixed
30values, or not short enough to fit in the table. These are indicated by +. Some
31other default values are determined when the Exim binary is compiled; these are
32indicated by ++.
33
34For options that are specific to a particular driver, the fourth column
35contains the driver name, for example, appendfile. Otherwise, it contains
36
37 . `main' for options that appear in the main section of Exim's configuration
38 file;
39
40 . `authenticators' for generic options that apply to any authenticator;
41
42 . `routers' for generic options that apply to any router;
43
44 . `transports' for generic options that apply to any transport.
45
46The fifth column contains the version of Exim in which the option was added, or
47substantially changed. Where no number is given, the option has been in Exim
48since the very early releases. The routers were completely reorganised for
49release 4.00, and so no router options are shown as earlier than 4.00, though
50in fact some of them were inherited from earlier versions.

6953. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM
696------------------------------
697
698The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
699Local/Makefile when building Exim. More information about individual options
700can be found in src/EDITME and OS/Makefile-Default.
701
702The second column below gives the type of option:
703
704 . `system' means the option is concerned with the operating system;
705
706 . `driver' means the option selects a driver to be included in the binary;
707
708 . `lookup' means the option selects a lookuptype to be included in the binary;
709
710 . `mandatory' means the option is required to be supplied;
711
712 . `recommended' means the option is recommended to be supplied;
713
714 . `optional' means what it says;
715
716Those marked with * are specialized and are unlikely to be required in most
717installations. Those that are marked with ** are commonly set in OS-specific
718Makefiles. If you use any of these in your Local/Makefile, you may need to
719reproduce some of the OS-specific settings. For example, in the Makefile for
720Solaris (which is actually called OS/Makefile-SunOS5), there is
721
722 LIBS=-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat
723
724If you use LIBS to add extra libraries, you must also include the OS ones in
725your setting. It is better, in this particular case, to use EXTRALIBS, which is
726empty by default, and is provided for just this reason. Of course, if you do
727actually want to modify a setting from the OS-specific file, there is nothing
728to stop you overriding it in your Local/Makefile.

8894. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIMON
890--------------------------------
891
892The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
893Local/eximon.conf when building the Exim monitor. Where the default is shown as
894** it means that the text string is too long to fit in the table and is instead
895given below. A blank default means that there is no default value.
896
897ACTION_OUTPUT=no show output for every action
898ACTION_QUEUE_UPDATE=yes update queue display after actions
899BODY_MAX=20000 maximum body display
900DOMAIN= domain to strip from window title
901LOG_BUFFER=20K buffer for log tail
902LOG_DEPTH=300 depth of log subwindow
903LOG_FONT=** font for log display
904LOG_STRIPCHARTS=** patterns for stripcharts
905LOG_WIDTH=950 width of log subwindow
906MENU_EVENT='Shift<Btn1Down>' keypress for menu
907MIN_HEIGHT=162 minimum window height
908MIN_WIDTH=103 minimum window width
909QUALIFY_DOMAIN= local domain to strip from addresses
910QUEUE_DEPTH=200 depth of queue subwindow
911QUEUE_FONT=$LOG_FONT font for queue display
912QUEUE_INTERVAL=300 queue refresh interval
913QUEUE_MAX_ADDRESSES=10 max addresses to show in queue
914QUEUE_STRIPCHART_NAME=queue name for queue stripchart
915QUEUE_WIDTH=950 width of queue subwindow
916SIZE_STRIPCHART= request partition size stripchart
917SIZE_STRIPCHART_NAME=space name for size stripchart
918START_SMALL=no if yes, start with small window
919STRIPCHART_INTERVAL=60 stripchart refresh interval
920TEXT_DEPTH=200 depth of text windows
921WINDOW_TITLE="${hostname} eximon" window title
922
923The default for LOG_FONT is
924
925 LOG_FONT=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
926
927and the default for LOG_STRIPCHARTS is
928
929 LOG_STRIPCHARTS='/ <= /in/
930 / => /out/
931 / => .+ R=local/local/
932 / => .+ T=[^ ]*smtp/smtp/'
933
934That is, there are four stripcharts, named in, out, local, and smtp. The first
935counts message arrivals, the second counts all deliveries, the third counts
936deliveries where the router's name starts with "local", and the fourth counts
937deliveries where the transport name contains "smtp".
