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
12# from the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online at the Exim web sites.
13
14
15# This file is divided into several parts, all but the first of which are
16# headed by a line starting with the word "begin". Only those parts that
17# are required need to be present. Blank lines, and lines starting with #
18# are ignored.

22# #
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"). #

41# MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
42######################################################################
43
44# Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully
45# qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the
46# uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases this does
47# the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.
48
49# primary_hostname =
50
51
52# The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts.
53# These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
54# +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
55# are all colon-separated lists:
56
57domainlist local_domains = @
58domainlist relay_to_domains =
ff284120
PP
59hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost
60# (We rely upon hostname resolution working for localhost, because the default
61# uncommented configuration needs to work in IPv4-only environments.)
059ec3d9
PH
62
63# Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
53394084 64# appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations,
92db8b2d 65# you may need to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) which appear later in
53394084 66# this file.
059ec3d9
PH
67
68# The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
69#
70# domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
71#
72# You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
73# setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
74# as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
75# deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
76# addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
77# "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
78# list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
79# recommended for today's Internet.
80
81# The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
82# If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
83# if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
84# must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
85#
86# domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
87#
88# This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
89# See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
90# information.
91
92# The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
93# to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
94# complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
95#
ff284120 96# hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 192.168.0.0/16
059ec3d9
PH
97#
98# The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
99# have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
100# SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
ff284120
PP
101# sending mail. Often, connections are made to "localhost", which might be ::1
102# on IPv6-enabled hosts. Do not forget CIDR for your IPv6 networks.

104# All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item, including
105# wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference
74e0617f

106# manual for details. The lists above are used in the access control lists for
107# checking incoming messages. The names of these ACLs are defined here:

115# If you are running a version of Exim that was compiled with the content-
116# scanning extension, you can cause incoming messages to be automatically
117# scanned for viruses. You have to modify the configuration in two places to
118# set this up. The first of them is here, where you define the interface to
119# your scanner. This example is typical for ClamAV; see the manual for details
120# of what to set for other virus scanners. The second modification is in the
121# acl_check_data access control list (see below).

123# av_scanner = clamd:/tmp/clamd

126# For spam scanning, there is a similar option that defines the interface to
127# SpamAssassin. You do not need to set this if you are using the default, which
128# is shown in this commented example. As for virus scanning, you must also
129# modify the acl_check_data access control list to enable spam scanning.

355 # The characters other than dots are rarely found in genuine local parts, but
356 # are often tried by people looking to circumvent relaying restrictions.

358 # out, as a precaution.

361 # allows them because they have been encountered. (Consider local parts
362 # constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
363 # someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
364 # with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a
365 # file name (e.g. for a mailing list). This is also true for local parts that
366 # contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is
