6# This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in
7# uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list
8# of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a
9# configuration file. There are many more than are mentioned here. The
10# manual is in the file doc/spec.txt in the Exim distribution as a plain
11# ASCII file. Other formats (PostScript, Texinfo, HTML, PDF) are available
20f0f788 12# from the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online at the Exim website.

23# Whenever you change Exim's configuration file, you *must* remember to #
24# HUP the Exim daemon, because it will not pick up the new configuration #
25# until you do. However, any other Exim processes that are started, for #
26# example, a process started by an MUA in order to send a message, will #
27# see the new configuration as soon as it is in place. #
28# #
29# You do not need to HUP the daemon for changes in auxiliary files that #
30# are referenced from this file. They are read every time they are used. #
31# #
32# It is usually a good idea to test a new configuration for syntactic #
33# correctness before installing it (for example, by running the command #
34# "exim -C /config/file.new -bV"). #

76# Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
53394084 77# appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations,
92db8b2d 78# you may need to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) which appear later in
53394084 79# this file.
059ec3d9

81# The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
82#
83# domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
84#
85# You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
86# setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
87# as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
88# deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
89# addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
90# "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
91# list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
92# recommended for today's Internet.
93
94# The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
95# If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
96# if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
97# must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
98#
99# domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
100#
101# This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
102# See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
103# information.
104
105# The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
106# to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
107# complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
108#
ff284120 109# hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 192.168.0.0/16
059ec3d9
PH
110#
111# The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
112# have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
113# SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
ff284120
PP
114# sending mail. Often, connections are made to "localhost", which might be ::1
115# on IPv6-enabled hosts. Do not forget CIDR for your IPv6 networks.

132# scanning extension, you can cause incoming messages to be automatically
133# scanned for viruses. You have to modify the configuration in two places to
134# set this up. The first of them is here, where you define the interface to
135# your scanner. This example is typical for ClamAV; see the manual for details

407 # constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
408 # someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
409 # with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a

411 # contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is

961# PLAIN authentication has no server prompts. The client sends its
962# credentials in one lump, containing an authorization ID (which we do not
963# use), an authentication ID, and a password. The latter two appear as
964# $auth2 and $auth3 in the configuration and should be checked against a
965# valid username and password. In a real configuration you would typically
966# use $auth2 as a lookup key, and compare $auth3 against the result of the
967# lookup, perhaps using the crypteq{}{} condition.

970# driver = plaintext

976# LOGIN authentication has traditional prompts and responses. There is no
