3LISTS OF EXIM OPTIONS
4---------------------
5
6This file contains complete lists of four kinds of Exim option:
7
8 1. Those that can appear in the run time configuration file;
9 2. Those that can be used on the command line;
10 3. Those that can appear in the build time configuration (Local/Makefile);
11 4. Those that can appear in the build time configuration for the Exim monitor
12 (Local/eximon.conf).
13
14This file was last updated for Exim release 4.51.
15
16
171. RUN TIME OPTIONS
18-------------------
19
20As Exim has developed, new options have been added at each major release. For
21the most part, backwards compatibility has been maintained, and obsolete
22options continue to be recognized. However, incompatible changes took place at
23releases 3.00, and 4.00. In both cases, several groups of options were
24amalgamated into new, extended options, and obsolete options were removed.
25
26The table below contains a complete list of all Exim's current options, along
27with their types, default values, and where they can be used. String options
28that are expanded before use are marked with *. Host lists, domain lists, and
29address lists are always expanded. In some cases the defaults are not fixed
30values, or not short enough to fit in the table. These are indicated by +. Some
31other default values are determined when the Exim binary is compiled; these are
32indicated by ++.
33
34For options that are specific to a particular driver, the fourth column
35contains the driver name, for example, appendfile. Otherwise, it contains
36
37 . `main' for options that appear in the main section of Exim's configuration
38 file;
39
40 . `authenticators' for generic options that apply to any authenticator;
41
42 . `routers' for generic options that apply to any router;
43
44 . `transports' for generic options that apply to any transport.
45
46The fifth column contains the version of Exim in which the option was added, or
47substantially changed. Where no number is given, the option has been in Exim
48since the very early releases. The routers were completely reorganised for
49release 4.00, and so no router options are shown as earlier than 4.00, though
50in fact some of them were inherited from earlier versions.

6933. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM
694------------------------------
695
696The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
697Local/Makefile when building Exim. More information about individual options
698can be found in src/EDITME and OS/Makefile-Default.
699
700The second column below gives the type of option:
701
702 . `system' means the option is concerned with the operating system;
703
704 . `driver' means the option selects a driver to be included in the binary;
705
706 . `lookup' means the option selects a lookuptype to be included in the binary;
707
708 . `mandatory' means the option is required to be supplied;
709
710 . `recommended' means the option is recommended to be supplied;
711
712 . `optional' means what it says;
713
714Those marked with * are specialized and are unlikely to be required in most
715installations. Those that are marked with ** are commonly set in OS-specific
716Makefiles. If you use any of these in your Local/Makefile, you may need to
717reproduce some of the OS-specific settings. For example, in the Makefile for
718Solaris (which is actually called OS/Makefile-SunOS5), there is
719
720 LIBS=-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat
721
722If you use LIBS to add extra libraries, you must also include the OS ones in
723your setting. It is better, in this particular case, to use EXTRALIBS, which is
724empty by default, and is provided for just this reason. Of course, if you do
725actually want to modify a setting from the OS-specific file, there is nothing
726to stop you overriding it in your Local/Makefile.

8874. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIMON
888--------------------------------
889
890The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
891Local/eximon.conf when building the Exim monitor. Where the default is shown as
892** it means that the text string is too long to fit in the table and is instead
893given below. A blank default means that there is no default value.
894
895ACTION_OUTPUT=no show output for every action
896ACTION_QUEUE_UPDATE=yes update queue display after actions
897BODY_MAX=20000 maximum body display
898DOMAIN= domain to strip from window title
899LOG_BUFFER=20K buffer for log tail
900LOG_DEPTH=300 depth of log subwindow
901LOG_FONT=** font for log display
902LOG_STRIPCHARTS=** patterns for stripcharts
903LOG_WIDTH=950 width of log subwindow
904MENU_EVENT='Shift<Btn1Down>' keypress for menu
905MIN_HEIGHT=162 minimum window height
906MIN_WIDTH=103 minimum window width
907QUALIFY_DOMAIN= local domain to strip from addresses
908QUEUE_DEPTH=200 depth of queue subwindow
909QUEUE_FONT=$LOG_FONT font for queue display
910QUEUE_INTERVAL=300 queue refresh interval
911QUEUE_MAX_ADDRESSES=10 max addresses to show in queue
912QUEUE_STRIPCHART_NAME=queue name for queue stripchart
913QUEUE_WIDTH=950 width of queue subwindow
914SIZE_STRIPCHART= request partition size stripchart
915SIZE_STRIPCHART_NAME=space name for size stripchart
916START_SMALL=no if yes, start with small window
917STRIPCHART_INTERVAL=60 stripchart refresh interval
918TEXT_DEPTH=200 depth of text windows
919WINDOW_TITLE="${hostname} eximon" window title
920
921The default for LOG_FONT is
922
923 LOG_FONT=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
924
925and the default for LOG_STRIPCHARTS is
926
927 LOG_STRIPCHARTS='/ <= /in/
928 / => /out/
929 / => .+ R=local/local/
930 / => .+ T=[^ ]*smtp/smtp/'
931
932That is, there are four stripcharts, named in, out, local, and smtp. The first
933counts message arrivals, the second counts all deliveries, the third counts
934deliveries where the router's name starts with "local", and the fourth counts
935deliveries where the transport name contains "smtp".
