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.

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 =
59hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1
60
61# Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
53394084 62# appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations,
92db8b2d 63# you may need to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) which appear later in
53394084 64# this file.
059ec3d9
PH
65
66# The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
67#
68# domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
69#
70# You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
71# setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
72# as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
73# deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
74# addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
75# "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
76# list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
77# recommended for today's Internet.
78
79# The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
80# If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
81# if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
82# must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
83#
84# domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
85#
86# This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
87# See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
88# information.
89
90# The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
91# to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
92# complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
93#
94# hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 192.168.0.0/16
95#
96# The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
97# have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
98# SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
99# sending mail.

102# wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference

113# scanning extension, you can cause incoming messages to be automatically
114# scanned for viruses. You have to modify the configuration in two places to
115# set this up. The first of them is here, where you define the interface to
116# your scanner. This example is typical for ClamAV; see the manual for details
117# of what to set for other virus scanners. The second modification is in the
118# acl_check_data access control list (see below).

334 # The following section of the ACL is concerned with local parts that contain

337 # The characters other than dots are rarely found in genuine local parts, but
338 # are often tried by people looking to circumvent relaying restrictions.
339 # Therefore, although they are valid in local parts, these rules lock them
340 # out, as a precaution.

343 # allows them because they have been encountered. (Consider local parts
344 # constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
345 # someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
346 # with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a
347 # file name (e.g. for a mailing list). This is also true for local parts that
348 # contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is
349 # incorporated unthinkingly into a shell command line.

513# to abuse SMTP relays. Consequently it is commented out in the default
