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"). #

46# qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the

53# The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts.
54# These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
55# +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
56# are all colon-separated lists:

61# (We rely upon hostname resolution working for localhost, because the default
62# uncommented configuration needs to work in IPv4-only environments.)

64# Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
53394084 65# appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations,
92db8b2d 66# you may need to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) which appear later in
53394084 67# this file.
059ec3d9
PH
68
69# The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
70#
71# domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
72#
73# You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
74# setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
75# as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
76# deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
77# addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
78# "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
79# list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
80# recommended for today's Internet.
81
82# The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
83# If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
84# if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
85# must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
86#
87# domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
88#
89# This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
90# See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
91# information.
92
93# The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
94# to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
95# complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
96#
ff284120 97# hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 192.168.0.0/16
059ec3d9
PH
98#
99# The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
100# have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
101# SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
ff284120
PP
102# sending mail. Often, connections are made to "localhost", which might be ::1
103# on IPv6-enabled hosts. Do not forget CIDR for your IPv6 networks.

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

128# SpamAssassin. You do not need to set this if you are using the default, which
129# is shown in this commented example. As for virus scanning, you must also

375 # constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
376 # someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
377 # with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a
378 # file name (e.g. for a mailing list). This is also true for local parts that
379 # contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is
