5##################################################

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

83# Exim will not build unless you specify BIN_DIRECTORY, CONFIGURE_FILE, and
84# EXIM_USER. You also need EXIM_GROUP if EXIM_USER specifies a uid by number.
85
86# If you don't specify SPOOL_DIRECTORY, Exim won't fail to build. However, it
87# really is a very good idea to specify it here rather than at run time. This
88# is particularly true if you let the logs go to their default location in the
89# spool directory, because it means that the location of the logs is known
90# before Exim has read the run time configuration file.
91
92#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
93# BIN_DIRECTORY defines where the exim binary will be installed by "make
94# install". The path is also used internally by Exim when it needs to re-invoke
95# itself, either to send an error message, or to recover root privilege. Exim's
96# utility binaries and scripts are also installed in this directory. There is
97# no "standard" place for the binary directory. Some people like to keep all
98# the Exim files under one directory such as /usr/exim; others just let the
99# Exim binaries go into an existing directory such as /usr/sbin or
100# /usr/local/sbin. The installation script will try to create this directory,
101# and any superior directories, if they do not exist.
102
103BIN_DIRECTORY=/usr/exim/bin
104
105
106#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
107# CONFIGURE_FILE defines where Exim's run time configuration file is to be
108# found. It is the complete pathname for the file, not just a directory. The
109# location of all other run time files and directories can be changed in the
110# run time configuration file. There is a lot of variety in the choice of
111# location in different OS, and in the preferences of different sysadmins. Some
112# common locations are in /etc or /etc/mail or /usr/local/etc or
113# /usr/local/etc/mail. Another possibility is to keep all the Exim files under
114# a single directory such as /usr/exim. Whatever you choose, the installation
115# script will try to make the directory and any superior directories if they
116# don't exist. It will also install a default runtime configuration if this
117# file does not exist.
118
119CONFIGURE_FILE=/usr/exim/configure
120
121# It is possible to specify a colon-separated list of files for CONFIGURE_FILE.
122# In this case, Exim will use the first of them that exists when it is run.
123# However, if a list is specified, the installation script no longer tries to
124# make superior directories or to install a default runtime configuration.
125
126
127#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
128# The Exim binary must normally be setuid root, so that it starts executing as
129# root, but (depending on the options with which it is called) it does not
130# always need to retain the root privilege. These settings define the user and
131# group that is used for Exim processes when they no longer need to be root. In
132# particular, this applies when receiving messages and when doing remote
133# deliveries. (Local deliveries run as various non-root users, typically as the
10385c15 134# owner of a local mailbox.) Specifying these values as root is not supported.

136EXIM_USER=
137
138# If you specify EXIM_USER as a name, this is looked up at build time, and the
139# uid number is built into the binary. However, you can specify that this
140# lookup is deferred until runtime. In this case, it is the name that is built
141# into the binary. You can do this by a setting of the form:
142
143# EXIM_USER=ref:exim
144
145# In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user name. If you set EXIM_USER
146# like this, any value specified for EXIM_GROUP is also passed "by reference".
147# Although this costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use
148# this feature when building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems
149# where the name may refer to different uids. It also allows you to build Exim
150# on a system where there is no Exim user defined.
151
152# If the setting of EXIM_USER is numeric (e.g. EXIM_USER=42), there must
153# also be a setting of EXIM_GROUP. If, on the other hand, you use a name
154# for EXIM_USER (e.g. EXIM_USER=exim), you don't need to set EXIM_GROUP unless
155# you want to use a group other than the default group for the given user.
156
157# EXIM_GROUP=
158
159# Many sites define a user called "exim", with an appropriate default group,
160# and use
161#
162# EXIM_USER=exim
163#
164# while leaving EXIM_GROUP unspecified (commented out).
165
166
167#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
168# SPOOL_DIRECTORY defines the directory where all the data for messages in
169# transit is kept. It is strongly recommended that you define it here, though
170# it is possible to leave this till the run time configuration.
171
172# Exim creates the spool directory if it does not exist. The owner and group
173# will be those defined by EXIM_USER and EXIM_GROUP, and this also applies to
174# all the files and directories that are created in the spool directory.
175
176# Almost all installations choose this:

561# conversions. Please see the next item...
562
563
564#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
565# Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
566# installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
567# is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
568# the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
569# as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
570#
571# HAVE_ICONV=yes

573# If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
574# need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
575# and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
576# something like this:

578# HAVE_ICONV=yes
579# CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
580# EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv

587# The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
588# function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
589# "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
590# configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
591# operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
592# 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
96c065cb 593# supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.

599# DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16

625# Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
626# Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
627# must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
628# no cryptographic code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want
629# to build Exim with TLS support. If you don't know what this is all about,

641
642# If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
643# support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
644# certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
645# and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
646# to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
647# if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
648# is all you need to do.
649
650# Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
651# GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
652# with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
653# need something like
654
655# TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
656# or
657# TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
658
659# TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
660# auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
661# set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
662
663# TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
664# or
665# TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include

671#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
672# The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
673# documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
674# the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
675# sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
676# with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
677# version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
678# because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
679# example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball upacks into a
680# directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
681# In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
682# have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
683# directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
684# Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and

691# Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a

693# log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
694# called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
695# the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
696# this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
697# %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
698# to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
699
700# LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
701
702# which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
703# in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
704# it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
705# of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
706# must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
707
708# You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
709# files, by settings such as these
710
711# LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
712# LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog

937#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
938# The following commands live in different places in some OS. Either the
939# ultimate default settings, or the OS-specific files should already point to
940# the right place, but they can be overridden here if necessary. These settings
941# are used when building various scripts to ensure that the correct paths are
942# used when the scripts are run. They are not used in the Makefile itself. Perl
943# is not necessary for running Exim unless you set EXIM_PERL (see above) to get
944# it embedded, but there are some utilities that are Perl scripts. If you
945# haven't got Perl, Exim will still build and run; you just won't be able to
946# use those utilities.

958# The following macro can be used to change the command for building a library
959# of functions. By default the "ar" command is used, with options "cq".
960# Only in rare circumstances should you need to change this.

964
965#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
966# In some operating systems, the value of the TMPDIR environment variable
967# controls where temporary files are created. Exim does not make use of
968# temporary files, except when delivering to MBX mailboxes. However, if Exim
969# calls any external libraries (e.g. DBM libraries), they may use temporary
970# files, and thus be influenced by the value of TMPDIR. For this reason, when
971# Exim starts, it checks the environment for TMPDIR, and if it finds it is set,
972# it replaces the value with what is defined here. Commenting this setting
973# suppresses the check altogether.
974
975TMPDIR="/tmp"
976

978#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
979# The following macros can be used to change the default modes that are used
980# by the appendfile transport. In most installations the defaults are just
981# fine, and in any case, you can change particular instances of the transport
982# at run time if you want.

989#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
990# In some installations there may be multiple machines sharing file systems,
991# where a different configuration file is required for Exim on the different
992# machines. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE is defined, then Exim will first look
993# for a configuration file whose name is that defined by CONFIGURE_FILE,
994# with the node name obtained by uname() tacked on the end, separated by a
995# period (for example, /usr/exim/configure.host.in.some.domain). If this file
996# does not exist, then the bare configuration file name is tried.
997
998# CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE=yes

1000
1001#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1002# In some esoteric configurations two different versions of Exim are run,
1003# with different setuid values, and different configuration files are required
1004# to handle the different cases. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID is defined, then
1005# Exim will first look for a configuration file whose name is that defined
1006# by CONFIGURE_FILE, with the effective uid tacked on the end, separated by
1007# a period (for eximple, /usr/exim/configure.0). If this file does not exist,
1008# then the bare configuration file name is tried. In the case when both
1009# CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID and CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE are set, four files
1010# are tried: <name>.<euid>.<node>, <name>.<node>, <name>.<euid>, and <name>.

1049# This parameter sets the maximum length of the header portion of a message
1050# that Exim is prepared to process. The default setting is one megabyte. The
1051# limit exists in order to catch rogue mailers that might connect to your SMTP
1052# port, start off a header line, and then just pump junk at it for ever. The
1053# message_size_limit option would also catch this, but it may not be set.

1059#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1060# The mode of the input directory: The input directory is where messages are

1107# Network interfaces: Unless you set the local_interfaces option in the runtime
1108# configuration file to restrict Exim to certain interfaces only, it will run
1109# code to find all the interfaces there are on your host. Unfortunately,
1110# the call to the OS that does this requires a buffer large enough to hold
1111# data for all the interfaces - it was designed in the days when a host rarely
1112# had more than three or four interfaces. Nowadays hosts can have very many
1113# virtual interfaces running on the same hardware. If you have more than 250

1144# Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid
1145# (process id) to a file so that it can easily be identified. The path of the
1146# file can be specified here. Some installations may want something like this:
1147
1148# PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim.pid
1149
1150# If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory
1151# using the name "exim-daemon.pid".
1152
1153# If you start up a daemon without the -bd option (for example, with just
1154# the -q15m option), a pid file is not written. Also, if you override the
1155# configuration file with the -oX option, no pid file is written. In other
1156# words, the pid file is written only for a "standard" daemon.
1157

1165
1166#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1167# The mode of files on the input spool which hold the contents of messages can
