23.SH DESCRIPTION
24.rs
25.sp
26Exim is a mail transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of Cambridge.
27It is a large program with very many facilities. For a full specification, see
28the reference manual. This man page contains only a description of the command
29line options. It has been automatically generated from the reference manual
30source, hopefully without too much mangling.
31.P
32Like other MTAs, Exim replaces Sendmail, and is normally called by user agents
33(MUAs) using the path \\fI/usr/sbin/sendmail\\fP when they submit messages for
34delivery (some operating systems use \\fI/usr/lib/sendmail\\fP). This path is
35normally set up as a symbolic link to the Exim binary. It may also be used by
36boot scripts to start the Exim daemon. Many of Exim's command line options are
37compatible with Sendmail so that it can act as a drop-in replacement.
38.
39.SH "DEFAULT ACTION"
40.rs
41.sp
42If no options are present that require a specific action (such as starting the
43daemon or a queue runner, testing an address, receiving a message in a specific
44format, or listing the queue), and there are no arguments on the command line,
45Exim outputs a brief message about itself and exits.
46.sp
47However, if there is at least one command line argument, \\fB-bm\\fR (accept a
48local message on the standard input, with the arguments specifying the
49recipients) is assumed. Thus, for example, if Exim is installed in
50\\fI/usr/sbin\\fP, you can send a message from the command line like this:
51.sp
52 /usr/sbin/exim -i <recipient-address(es)>
53 <message content, including all the header lines>
54 CTRL-D
55.sp
56The \\fB-i\\fP option prevents a line containing just a dot from terminating
57the message. Only an end-of-file (generated by typing CTRL-D if the input is
58from a terminal) does so.
59.
60.SH "SETTING OPTIONS BY PROGRAM NAME"
61.rs
62.sp
63If an Exim binary is called using one of the names listed in this section
64(typically via a symbolic link), certain options are assumed.
65.TP
66\\fBmailq\\fR
67Behave as if the option \\fB\\-bp\\fP were present before any other options.
68The \\fB\\-bp\\fP option requests a listing of the contents of the mail queue
69on the standard output.
70.TP
71\\fBrsmtp\\fR
72Behaves as if the option \\fB\\-bS\\fP were present before any other options,
73for compatibility with Smail. The \\fB\\-bS\\fP option is used for reading in a
74number of messages in batched SMTP format.
75.TP
76\\fBrmail\\fR
77Behave as if the \\fB\\-i\\fP and \\fB\\-oee\\fP options were present before
78any other options, for compatibility with Smail. The name \\fBrmail\\fR is used
79as an interface by some UUCP systems. The \\fB\\-i\\fP option specifies that a
80dot on a line by itself does not terminate a non\\-SMTP message; \\fB\\-oee\\fP
81requests that errors detected in non\\-SMTP messages be reported by emailing
82the sender.
83.TP
84\\fBrunq\\fR
85Behave as if the option \\fB\\-q\\fP were present before any other options, for
86compatibility with Smail. The \\fB\\-q\\fP option causes a single queue runner
87process to be started. It processes the queue once, then exits.
88.TP
89\\fBnewaliases\\fR
90Behave as if the option \\fB\\-bi\\fP were present before any other options,
91for compatibility with Sendmail. This option is used for rebuilding Sendmail's
92alias file. Exim does not have the concept of a single alias file, but can be
93configured to run a specified command if called with the \\fB\\-bi\\fP option.
