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

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

134EXIM_USER=
135
136# If you specify EXIM_USER as a name, this is looked up at build time, and the
137# uid number is built into the binary. However, you can specify that this
138# lookup is deferred until runtime. In this case, it is the name that is built
139# into the binary. You can do this by a setting of the form:
140
141# EXIM_USER=ref:exim
142
143# In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user name. If you set EXIM_USER
144# like this, any value specified for EXIM_GROUP is also passed "by reference".
145# Although this costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use
146# this feature when building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems
147# where the name may refer to different uids. It also allows you to build Exim
148# on a system where there is no Exim user defined.
149
150# If the setting of EXIM_USER is numeric (e.g. EXIM_USER=42), there must
151# also be a setting of EXIM_GROUP. If, on the other hand, you use a name
152# for EXIM_USER (e.g. EXIM_USER=exim), you don't need to set EXIM_GROUP unless
153# you want to use a group other than the default group for the given user.
154
155# EXIM_GROUP=
156
157# Many sites define a user called "exim", with an appropriate default group,
158# and use
159#
160# EXIM_USER=exim
161#
162# while leaving EXIM_GROUP unspecified (commented out).

164
165#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
166# SPOOL_DIRECTORY defines the directory where all the data for messages in
167# transit is kept. It is strongly recommended that you define it here, though
168# it is possible to leave this till the run time configuration.
169
170# Exim creates the spool directory if it does not exist. The owner and group
171# will be those defined by EXIM_USER and EXIM_GROUP, and this also applies to
172# all the files and directories that are created in the spool directory.
173
174# Almost all installations choose this:

688

690#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
691# Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
692# installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
693# is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
694# the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
695# as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
696#
697# HAVE_ICONV=yes
698#
699# If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
700# need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
701# and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
702# something like this:
703#
704# HAVE_ICONV=yes
705# CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
706# EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv

709# as well.
863bd541

710#
711# nb: FreeBSD as of 4.89 defines LIBICONV_PLUG to pick up the system iconv
712# more reliably. If you explicitly want the libiconv Port then as well
713# as adding -liconv you'll want to unset LIBICONV_PLUG. If you actually need
714# this, let us know, but for now the Exim Maintainers are assuming that this

720# The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
721# function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
722# "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
723# configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
724# operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
725# 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
96c065cb 726# supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.

732# DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16

734# If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding

741# you should not need to bother with it.

749# However, since there is now a move away from the traditional crypt()
750# functions towards using SHA1 and other algorithms, tidying up this area of

827# The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the

829# the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
830# sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
831# with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
832# version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
833# because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
65872480 834# example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball unpacks into a
059ec3d9
PH
835# directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.

837# have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
838# directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.

846# Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
847# single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
848# log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
849# called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
850# the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
851# this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
852# %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
853# to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
854
855# LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
856
857# which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
858# in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
859# it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
860# of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
861# must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
862
863# You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
864# files, by settings such as these
865
866# LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
867# LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog

1364# Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid
1365# (process id) to a file so that it can easily be identified. The path of the
1366# file can be specified here. Some installations may want something like this:
1367
1368# PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim.pid
1369
1370# If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory
1371# using the name "exim-daemon.pid".
1372
1373# If you start up a daemon without the -bd option (for example, with just
1374# the -q15m option), a pid file is not written. Also, if you override the
1375# configuration file with the -oX option, no pid file is written. In other
1376# words, the pid file is written only for a "standard" daemon.

1406# It has proven too easy in practice for administrators to configure security
1407# problems into their Exim install, by treating match_domain{}{} and friends
1408# as a form of string comparison, where the second string comes from untrusted
1409# data. Because these options take lists, which can include lookup;LOOKUPDATA
1410# style elements, a foe can then cause Exim to, eg, execute an arbitrary MySQL
1411# query, dropping tables.
1412# From Exim 4.77 onwards, the second parameter is not expanded; it can still
1413# be a list literal, or a macro, or a named list reference. There is also
1414# the new expansion condition "inlisti" which does expand the second parameter,
1415# but treats it as a list of strings; also, there's "eqi" which is probably
1416# what is normally wanted.
