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 4.67.
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.

7233. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM
724------------------------------
725
726The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
727Local/Makefile when building Exim. More information about individual options
728can be found in src/EDITME and OS/Makefile-Default.
729
730The second column below gives the type of option:
731
732 . `system' means the option is concerned with the operating system;
733
734 . `driver' means the option selects a driver to be included in the binary;
735
736 . `lookup' means the option selects a lookuptype to be included in the binary;
737
738 . `mandatory' means the option is required to be supplied;
739
740 . `recommended' means the option is recommended to be supplied;
741
742 . `optional' means what it says;
743
744Those marked with * are specialized and are unlikely to be required in most
745installations. Those that are marked with ** are commonly set in OS-specific
746Makefiles. If you use any of these in your Local/Makefile, you may need to
747reproduce some of the OS-specific settings. For example, in the Makefile for
748Solaris (which is actually called OS/Makefile-SunOS5), there is
749
750 LIBS=-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat
751
752If you use LIBS to add extra libraries, you must also include the OS ones in
753your setting. It is better, in this particular case, to use EXTRALIBS, which is
754empty by default, and is provided for just this reason. Of course, if you do
755actually want to modify a setting from the OS-specific file, there is nothing
756to stop you overriding it in your Local/Makefile.

9194. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIMON
920--------------------------------
921
922The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
923Local/eximon.conf when building the Exim monitor. Where the default is shown as
924** it means that the text string is too long to fit in the table and is instead
925given below. A blank default means that there is no default value.
926
927ACTION_OUTPUT=no show output for every action
928ACTION_QUEUE_UPDATE=yes update queue display after actions
929BODY_MAX=20000 maximum body display
930DOMAIN= domain to strip from window title
931LOG_BUFFER=20K buffer for log tail
932LOG_DEPTH=300 depth of log subwindow
933LOG_FONT=** font for log display
934LOG_STRIPCHARTS=** patterns for stripcharts
935LOG_WIDTH=950 width of log subwindow
936MENU_EVENT='Shift<Btn1Down>' keypress for menu
937MIN_HEIGHT=162 minimum window height
938MIN_WIDTH=103 minimum window width
939QUALIFY_DOMAIN= local domain to strip from addresses
940QUEUE_DEPTH=200 depth of queue subwindow
941QUEUE_FONT=$LOG_FONT font for queue display
942QUEUE_INTERVAL=300 queue refresh interval
943QUEUE_MAX_ADDRESSES=10 max addresses to show in queue
944QUEUE_STRIPCHART_NAME=queue name for queue stripchart
945QUEUE_WIDTH=950 width of queue subwindow
946SIZE_STRIPCHART= request partition size stripchart
947SIZE_STRIPCHART_NAME=space name for size stripchart
948START_SMALL=no if yes, start with small window
949STRIPCHART_INTERVAL=60 stripchart refresh interval
950TEXT_DEPTH=200 depth of text windows
951WINDOW_TITLE="${hostname} eximon" window title
952
953The default for LOG_FONT is
954
955 LOG_FONT=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
956
957and the default for LOG_STRIPCHARTS is
958
959 LOG_STRIPCHARTS='/ <= /in/
960 / => /out/
961 / => .+ R=local/local/
962 / => .+ T=[^ ]*smtp/smtp/'
963
964That is, there are four stripcharts, named in, out, local, and smtp. The first
965counts message arrivals, the second counts all deliveries, the third counts
966deliveries where the router's name starts with "local", and the fourth counts
