3LISTS OF EXIM OPTIONS
4---------------------
5
6This file contains complete lists of three kinds of Exim option:
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
14This file was last updated for Exim release 4.40.
15
16
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.

6883. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM
689------------------------------
690
691The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
692Local/Makefile when building Exim. More information about individual options
693can be found in src/EDITME and OS/Makefile-Default.
694
695The second column below gives the type of option:
696
697 . `system' means the option is concerned with the operating system;
698
699 . `driver' means the option selects a driver to be included in the binary;
700
701 . `lookup' means the option selects a lookuptype to be included in the binary;
702
703 . `mandatory' means the option is required to be supplied;
704
705 . `recommended' means the option is recommended to be supplied;
706
707 . `optional' means what it says;
708
709Those marked with * are specialized and are unlikely to be required in most
710installations. Those that are marked with ** are commonly set in OS-specific
711Makefiles. If you use any of these in your Local/Makefile, you may need to
712reproduce some of the OS-specific settings. For example, in the Makefile for
713Solaris (which is actually called OS/Makefile-SunOS5), there is
714
715 LIBS=-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat
716
717If you use LIBS to add extra libraries, you must also include the OS ones in
718your setting. It is better, in this particular case, to use EXTRALIBS, which is
719empty by default, and is provided for just this reason. Of course, if you do
720actually want to modify a setting from the OS-specific file, there is nothing
721to stop you overriding it in your Local/Makefile.

8824. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIMON
883--------------------------------
884
885The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
886Local/eximon.conf when building the Exim monitor. Where the default is shown as
887** it means that the text string is too long to fit in the table and is instead
888given below. A blank default means that there is no default value.
889
890ACTION_OUTPUT=no show output for every action
891ACTION_QUEUE_UPDATE=yes update queue display after actions
892BODY_MAX=20000 maximum body display
893DOMAIN= domain to strip from window title
894LOG_BUFFER=20K buffer for log tail
895LOG_DEPTH=300 depth of log subwindow
896LOG_FONT=** font for log display
897LOG_STRIPCHARTS=** patterns for stripcharts
898LOG_WIDTH=950 width of log subwindow
899MENU_EVENT='Shift<Btn1Down>' keypress for menu
900MIN_HEIGHT=162 minimum window height
901MIN_WIDTH=103 minimum window width
902QUALIFY_DOMAIN= local domain to strip from addresses
903QUEUE_DEPTH=200 depth of queue subwindow
904QUEUE_FONT=$LOG_FONT font for queue display
905QUEUE_INTERVAL=300 queue refresh interval
906QUEUE_MAX_ADDRESSES=10 max addresses to show in queue
907QUEUE_STRIPCHART_NAME=queue name for queue stripchart
908QUEUE_WIDTH=950 width of queue subwindow
909SIZE_STRIPCHART= request partition size stripchart
910SIZE_STRIPCHART_NAME=space name for size stripchart
911START_SMALL=no if yes, start with small window
912STRIPCHART_INTERVAL=60 stripchart refresh interval
913TEXT_DEPTH=200 depth of text windows
914WINDOW_TITLE="${hostname} eximon" window title
915
916The default for LOG_FONT is
917
918 LOG_FONT=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
919
920and the default for LOG_STRIPCHARTS is
921
922 LOG_STRIPCHARTS='/ <= /in/
923 / => /out/
924 / => .+ R=local/local/
925 / => .+ T=[^ ]*smtp/smtp/'
926
927That is, there are four stripcharts, named in, out, local, and smtp. The first
928counts message arrivals, the second counts all deliveries, the third counts
929deliveries where the router's name starts with "local", and the fourth counts
930deliveries where the transport name contains "smtp".
