1 | LISTS OF EXIM OPTIONS |
| 2 | --------------------- | |
| 3 | ||
| 0bd1a913 | 4 | This file contains complete lists of four kinds of Exim option: |
| 495ae4b0 PH |
5 | |
| 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). | |
| 11 | ||
| 22380b86 | 12 | This file was last updated for Exim release 4.72. |
| 495ae4b0 PH |
13 | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | 1. RUN TIME OPTIONS | |
| 16 | ------------------- | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | As Exim has developed, new options have been added at each major release. For | |
| 19 | the most part, backwards compatibility has been maintained, and obsolete | |
| 20 | options continue to be recognized. However, incompatible changes took place at | |
| 21 | releases 3.00, and 4.00. In both cases, several groups of options were | |
| 22 | amalgamated into new, extended options, and obsolete options were removed. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | The table below contains a complete list of all Exim's current options, along | |
| 25 | with their types, default values, and where they can be used. String options | |
| 26 | that are expanded before use are marked with *. Host lists, domain lists, and | |
| 27 | address lists are always expanded. In some cases the defaults are not fixed | |
| 28 | values, or not short enough to fit in the table. These are indicated by +. Some | |
| 29 | other default values are determined when the Exim binary is compiled; these are | |
| 30 | indicated by ++. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | For options that are specific to a particular driver, the fourth column | |
| 33 | contains 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 | ||
| 44 | The fifth column contains the version of Exim in which the option was added, or | |
| 45 | substantially changed. Where no number is given, the option has been in Exim | |
| 46 | since the very early releases. The routers were completely reorganised for | |
| 47 | release 4.00, and so no router options are shown as earlier than 4.00, though | |
| 48 | in fact some of them were inherited from earlier versions. | |

| 795 | 3. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM | |
| 796 | ------------------------------ | |
| 797 | ||
| 76ba6b0a PP |
798 | The table below contains a "mostly" complete list of options that can be |
| 799 | set in Local/Makefile when building Exim. The only items not included are | |
| 800 | those whose names can be trivially derived from rules stated below. | |
| 801 | ||
| 802 | More information about individual options can be found in src/EDITME and | |
| 803 | OS/Makefile-Default. | |
| 495ae4b0 PH |
804 | |
| 805 | The second column below gives the type of option: | |
| 806 | ||
| 807 | . `system' means the option is concerned with the operating system; | |
| 808 | ||
| 809 | . `driver' means the option selects a driver to be included in the binary; | |
| 810 | ||
| 811 | . `lookup' means the option selects a lookuptype to be included in the binary; | |
| 812 | ||
| 813 | . `mandatory' means the option is required to be supplied; | |
| 814 | ||
| 815 | . `recommended' means the option is recommended to be supplied; | |
| 816 | ||
| 817 | . `optional' means what it says; | |
| 818 | ||
| 819 | Those marked with * are specialized and are unlikely to be required in most | |
| 820 | installations. Those that are marked with ** are commonly set in OS-specific | |
| 821 | Makefiles. If you use any of these in your Local/Makefile, you may need to | |
| 822 | reproduce some of the OS-specific settings. For example, in the Makefile for | |
| 823 | Solaris (which is actually called OS/Makefile-SunOS5), there is | |
| 824 | ||
| 825 | LIBS=-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat | |
| 826 | ||
| 827 | If you use LIBS to add extra libraries, you must also include the OS ones in | |
| 828 | your setting. It is better, in this particular case, to use EXTRALIBS, which is | |
| 829 | empty by default, and is provided for just this reason. Of course, if you do | |
| 830 | actually want to modify a setting from the OS-specific file, there is nothing | |
| 831 | to stop you overriding it in your Local/Makefile. | |
| 832 | ||
| 76ba6b0a PP |
833 | When building Exim with dynamically loaded lookup support, for "LOOKUP_FOO", |
| 834 | you can define "LOOKUP_FOO_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_FOO_LIBS", for includes and | |
| 835 | libraries specific only to that module. These rules are only used where the | |
| 836 | relevant lookup is a module. These options are not explicitly listed below. | |
| 837 | ||
| 838 | Variables with names endined `_PC' are used for pkg-config integration; setting | |
| 839 | the value to the name of a pkg-config package will cause Exim's build system to | |
| 840 | query the --cflags and --libs for the given name, when building anything | |
| 841 | dependent upon the component associated with the `_PC' variable. For lookups, | |
| 842 | if the lookup is dynamically loaded, then this *replaces* the use of the | |
| 843 | corresponding _INCLUDE and _LIBS options, which will be ignored. If the lookup | |
| 844 | is statically loaded into Exim, the results will be inserted into the | |
| 845 | "LOOKUP_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_LIBS" options. For authenticator, the results | |
| 846 | will be inserted into the "CFLAGS" and "AUTH_LIBS" options. These options are | |
| 847 | only listed below for the TLS implementation cases. | |
