7 # This is the template for Exim's main build-time configuration file. It
8 # contains settings that are independent of any operating system. These are
9 # things that are mostly sysadmin choices. The items below are divided into
10 # those you must specify, those you probably want to specify, those you might
11 # often want to specify, and those that you almost never need to mention.
12
13 # Edit this file and save the result to a file called Local/Makefile within the
14 # Exim distribution directory before running the "make" command.
15
16 # Things that depend on the operating system have default settings in
17 # OS/Makefile-Default, but these are overridden for some OS by files called
18 # called OS/Makefile-<osname>. You can further override these by creating files
19 # called Local/Makefile-<osname>, where "<osname>" stands for the name of your
20 # operating system - look at the names in the OS directory to see which names
21 # are recognized.
22
23 # However, if you are building Exim for a single OS only, you don't need to
24 # worry about setting up Local/Makefile-<osname>. Any build-time configuration
25 # settings you require can in fact be placed in the one file called
26 # Local/Makefile. It is only if you are building for several OS from the same
27 # source files that you need to worry about splitting off your own OS-dependent
28 # settings into separate files. (There's more explanation about how this all
29 # works in the toplevel README file, under "Modifying the building process", as
30 # well as in the Exim specification.)
31
32 # One OS-specific thing that may need to be changed is the command for running
33 # the C compiler; the overall default is gcc, but some OS Makefiles specify cc.
34 # You can override anything that is set by putting CC=whatever in your
35 # Local/Makefile.
36
37 # NOTE: You should never need to edit any of the distributed Makefiles; all
38 # overriding can be done in your Local/Makefile(s). This will make it easier
39 # for you when the next release comes along.
40
41 # The location of the X11 libraries is something else that is quite variable
42 # even between different versions of the same operating system (and indeed
43 # there are different versions of X11 as well, of course). The four settings
44 # concerned here are X11, XINCLUDE, XLFLAGS (linking flags) and X11_LD_LIB
45 # (dynamic run-time library). You need not worry about X11 unless you want to
46 # compile the Exim monitor utility. Exim itself does not use X11.
47
48 # Another area of variability between systems is the type and location of the
49 # DBM library package. Exim has support for ndbm, gdbm, tdb, and Berkeley DB.
50 # By default the code assumes ndbm; this often works with gdbm or DB, provided
51 # they are correctly installed, via their compatibility interfaces. However,
52 # Exim can also be configured to use the native calls for Berkeley DB (obsolete
53 # versions 1.85, 2.x, 3.x, or the current 4.x version) and also for gdbm.
54
55 # For some operating systems, a default DBM library (other than ndbm) is
56 # selected by a setting in the OS-specific Makefile. Most modern OS now have
57 # a DBM library installed as standard, and in many cases this will be selected
58 # for you by the OS-specific configuration. If Exim compiles without any
59 # problems, you probably do not have to worry about the DBM library. If you
60 # do want or need to change it, you should first read the discussion in the
61 # file doc/dbm.discuss.txt, which also contains instructions for testing Exim's
62 # interface to the DBM library.
63
64 # In Local/Makefiles blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored. It is
65 # also permitted to use the # character to add a comment to a setting, for
66 # example
67 #
68 # EXIM_GID=42 # the "mail" group
69 #
70 # However, with some versions of "make" this works only if there is no white
71 # space between the end of the setting and the #, so perhaps it is best
72 # avoided. A consequence of this facility is that it is not possible to have
73 # the # character present in any setting, but I can't think of any cases where
74 # this would be wanted.

83 # Exim will not build unless you specify BIN_DIRECTORY, CONFIGURE_FILE, and
84 # EXIM_USER. You also need EXIM_GROUP if EXIM_USER specifies a uid by number.
85
86 # If you don't specify SPOOL_DIRECTORY, Exim won't fail to build. However, it
87 # really is a very good idea to specify it here rather than at run time. This
88 # is particularly true if you let the logs go to their default location in the
89 # spool directory, because it means that the location of the logs is known
90 # before Exim has read the run time configuration file.
91
92 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
93 # BIN_DIRECTORY defines where the exim binary will be installed by "make
94 # install". The path is also used internally by Exim when it needs to re-invoke
95 # itself, either to send an error message, or to recover root privilege. Exim's
96 # utility binaries and scripts are also installed in this directory. There is
97 # no "standard" place for the binary directory. Some people like to keep all
98 # the Exim files under one directory such as /usr/exim; others just let the
99 # Exim binaries go into an existing directory such as /usr/sbin or
100 # /usr/local/sbin. The installation script will try to create this directory,
101 # and any superior directories, if they do not exist.
102
103 BIN_DIRECTORY=/usr/exim/bin
104
105
106 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
107 # CONFIGURE_FILE defines where Exim's run time configuration file is to be
108 # found. It is the complete pathname for the file, not just a directory. The
109 # location of all other run time files and directories can be changed in the
110 # run time configuration file. There is a lot of variety in the choice of
111 # location in different OS, and in the preferences of different sysadmins. Some
112 # common locations are in /etc or /etc/mail or /usr/local/etc or
113 # /usr/local/etc/mail. Another possibility is to keep all the Exim files under
114 # a single directory such as /usr/exim. Whatever you choose, the installation
115 # script will try to make the directory and any superior directories if they
116 # don't exist. It will also install a default runtime configuration if this
117 # file does not exist.
118
119 CONFIGURE_FILE=/usr/exim/configure
120
121 # It is possible to specify a colon-separated list of files for CONFIGURE_FILE.
122 # In this case, Exim will use the first of them that exists when it is run.
123 # However, if a list is specified, the installation script no longer tries to
124 # make superior directories or to install a default runtime configuration.
125
126
127 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
128 # The Exim binary must normally be setuid root, so that it starts executing as
129 # root, but (depending on the options with which it is called) it does not
130 # always need to retain the root privilege. These settings define the user and
131 # group that is used for Exim processes when they no longer need to be root. In
132 # particular, this applies when receiving messages and when doing remote
133 # deliveries. (Local deliveries run as various non-root users, typically as the
134 # owner of a local mailbox.) Specifying these values as root is not supported.
135
136 EXIM_USER=
137
138 # If you specify EXIM_USER as a name, this is looked up at build time, and the
139 # uid number is built into the binary. However, you can specify that this
140 # lookup is deferred until runtime. In this case, it is the name that is built
141 # into the binary. You can do this by a setting of the form:
142
143 # EXIM_USER=ref:exim
144
145 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user name. If you set EXIM_USER
146 # like this, any value specified for EXIM_GROUP is also passed "by reference".
147 # Although this costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use
148 # this feature when building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems
149 # where the name may refer to different uids. It also allows you to build Exim
150 # on a system where there is no Exim user defined.
151
152 # If the setting of EXIM_USER is numeric (e.g. EXIM_USER=42), there must
153 # also be a setting of EXIM_GROUP. If, on the other hand, you use a name
154 # for EXIM_USER (e.g. EXIM_USER=exim), you don't need to set EXIM_GROUP unless
155 # you want to use a group other than the default group for the given user.
156
157 # EXIM_GROUP=
158
159 # Many sites define a user called "exim", with an appropriate default group,
160 # and use
161 #
162 # EXIM_USER=exim
163 #
164 # while leaving EXIM_GROUP unspecified (commented out).
165
166
167 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
168 # SPOOL_DIRECTORY defines the directory where all the data for messages in
169 # transit is kept. It is strongly recommended that you define it here, though
170 # it is possible to leave this till the run time configuration.
171
172 # Exim creates the spool directory if it does not exist. The owner and group
173 # will be those defined by EXIM_USER and EXIM_GROUP, and this also applies to
174 # all the files and directories that are created in the spool directory.
175
176 # Almost all installations choose this:

419 # Although Exim is normally a setuid program, owned by root, it refuses to run
420 # local deliveries as root by default. There is a runtime option called
421 # "never_users" which lists the users that must never be used for local
422 # deliveries. There is also the setting below, which provides a list that
423 # cannot be overridden at runtime. This guards against problems caused by

439 # is owned by root. You can specify one additional permitted group owner here.
440
441 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=
442
443 # If you specify CONFIGURE_OWNER or CONFIGURE_GROUP as a name, this is looked
444 # up at build time, and the uid or gid number is built into the binary.
445 # However, you can specify that the lookup is deferred until runtime. In this
446 # case, it is the name that is built into the binary. You can do this by a
447 # setting of the form:
448
449 # CONFIGURE_OWNER=ref:mail
450 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=ref:sysadmin
451
452 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user or group name. Although this
453 # costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use this feature when
454 # building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems where the names may
455 # refer to different uids or gids. It also allows you to build Exim on a system
456 # where the relevant user or group is not defined.
457
458
459 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
460 # The -C option allows Exim to be run with an alternate runtime configuration
461 # file. When this is used by root, root privilege is retained by the binary
462 # (for any other caller including the Exim user, it is dropped). You can
463 # restrict the location of alternate configurations by defining a prefix below.
464 # Any file used with -C must then start with this prefix (except that /dev/null
465 # is also permitted if the caller is root, because that is used in the install
466 # script). If the prefix specifies a directory that is owned by root, a
467 # compromise of the Exim account does not permit arbitrary alternate
468 # configurations to be used. The prefix can be more restrictive than just a
469 # directory (the second example).

472 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/exim.conf-

475 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
476 # When a user other than root uses the -C option to override the configuration
477 # file (including the Exim user when re-executing Exim to regain root
478 # privileges for local message delivery), this will normally cause Exim to
479 # drop root privileges. The TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST option, specifies a file which
480 # contains a list of trusted configuration filenames, one per line. If the -C
481 # option is used by the Exim user or by the user specified in the
482 # CONFIGURE_OWNER setting, to specify a configuration file which is listed in
483 # the TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file, then root privileges are not dropped by Exim.

494
495
496 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
497 # By contrast, you might be maintaining a system which relies upon the ability
498 # to override values with -D and assumes that these will be passed through to
499 # the delivery processes. As of Exim 4.73, this is no longer the case by
500 # default. Going forward, we strongly recommend that you use a shim Exim
501 # configuration file owned by root stored under TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_LIST.
502 # That shim can set macros before .include'ing your main configuration file.
503 #
504 # As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
505 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS value definies a colon-separated list of macro-names
506 # which are permitted to be overriden from the command-line which will be
507 # honoured by the Exim user. So these are macros that can persist to delivery
508 # time.
509 # Examples might be -DTLS or -DSPOOL=/some/dir. The values on the
510 # command-line are filtered to only permit: [A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*
511 #
512 # This option is highly likely to be removed in a future release. It exists
513 # only to make 4.73 as easy as possible to migrate to. If you use it, we
514 # encourage you to schedule time to rework your configuration to not depend
515 # upon it. Most people should not need to use this.
516 #
517 # By default, no macros are whitelisted for -D usage.
518
519 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS=TLS:SPOOL

521 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
522 # Exim has support for the AUTH (authentication) extension of the SMTP
523 # protocol, as defined by RFC 2554. If you don't know what SMTP authentication
524 # is, you probably won't want to include this code, so you should leave these
525 # settings commented out. If you do want to make use of SMTP authentication,
526 # you must uncomment at least one of the following, so that appropriate code is
527 # included in the Exim binary. You will then need to set up the run time
528 # configuration to make use of the mechanism(s) selected.
529
530 # AUTH_CRAM_MD5=yes
531 # AUTH_CYRUS_SASL=yes
532 # AUTH_DOVECOT=yes
533 # AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes
534 # AUTH_SPA=yes
535
536
537 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
538 # If you specified AUTH_CYRUS_SASL above, you should ensure that you have the
539 # Cyrus SASL library installed before trying to build Exim, and you probably
540 # want to uncomment the following line:
541
542 # AUTH_LIBS=-lsasl2
543
544
545 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
546 # When Exim is decoding MIME "words" in header lines, most commonly for use
547 # in the $header_xxx expansion, it converts any foreign character sets to the
548 # one that is set in the headers_charset option. The default setting is
549 # defined by this setting:
550
551 HEADERS_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"
552
553 # If you are going to make use of $header_xxx expansions in your configuration
554 # file, or if your users are going to use them in filter files, and the normal
555 # character set on your host is something other than ISO-8859-1, you might
556 # like to specify a different default here. This value can be overridden in
557 # the runtime configuration, and it can also be overridden in individual filter
558 # files.
559 #
560 # IMPORTANT NOTE: The iconv() function is needed for character code
561 # conversions. Please see the next item...
562
563
564 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
565 # Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
566 # installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
567 # is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
568 # the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
569 # as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
570 #
571 # HAVE_ICONV=yes
572 #
573 # If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
574 # need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
575 # and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
576 # something like this:
577 #
578 # HAVE_ICONV=yes
579 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
580 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
581 #
582 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
583 # as well.
584
585
586 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
587 # The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
588 # function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
589 # "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
590 # configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
591 # operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
592 # 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
593 # supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.
594
595 # You can always indicate a crypt16-encrypted password by preceding it with
596 # "{crypt16}". If you want the default handling (without any preceding
597 # indicator) to use crypt16(), uncomment the following line:
598
599 # DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16
600
601 # If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding
602 # an encrypted password with "{crypt}". For more details, see the description
603 # of the "crypteq" condition in the manual chapter on string expansions.
604
605 # Some operating systems do not include a crypt16() function, so Exim has one
606 # of its own, which it uses unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined. Normally, that will
607 # be set in an OS-specific Makefile for the OS that have such a function, so
608 # you should not need to bother with it.
609
610 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
611 # It turns out that the above is not entirely accurate. As well as crypt16()
612 # there is a function called bigcrypt() that some operating systems have. This
613 # may or may not use the same algorithm, and both of them may be different to
614 # Exim's built-in crypt16() that is used unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined.
615 #
616 # However, since there is now a move away from the traditional crypt()
617 # functions towards using SHA1 and other algorithms, tidying up this area of
618 # Exim is seen as very low priority. In practice, if you need to, you can
619 # define DEFAULT_CRYPT to the name of any function that has the same interface
620 # as the traditional crypt() function.
621 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***

623
624 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
625 # Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
626 # Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
627 # must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
628 # no cryptographic code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want
629 # to build Exim with TLS support. If you don't know what this is all about,
630 # leave these settings commented out.
631
632 # This setting is required for any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS)
633 # SUPPORT_TLS=yes
634
635 # Uncomment this setting if you are using OpenSSL
636 # TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto
637
638 # Uncomment these settings if you are using GnuTLS
639 # USE_GNUTLS=yes
640 # TLS_LIBS=-lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
641
642 # If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
643 # support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
644 # certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
645 # and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
646 # to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
647 # if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
648 # is all you need to do.
649
650 # Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
651 # GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
652 # with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
653 # need something like
654
655 # TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
656 # or
657 # TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
658
659 # TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
660 # auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
661 # set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
662
663 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
664 # or
665 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include
666
667 # You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
668 # specified in INCLUDE.
669
670
671 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
672 # The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
673 # documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
674 # the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
675 # sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
676 # with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
677 # version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
678 # because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
679 # example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball upacks into a
680 # directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
681 # In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
682 # have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
683 # directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
684 # Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and
685 # install them in the directory you have defined.
686
687 # INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info
688
689
690 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
691 # Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
692 # single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
693 # log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
694 # called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
695 # the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
696 # this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
697 # %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
698 # to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
699
700 # LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
701
702 # which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
703 # in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
704 # it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
705 # of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
706 # must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
707
708 # You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
709 # files, by settings such as these
710
711 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
712 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
713
714 # The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes
715 # to log files. Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up
716 # the building process.
717
718
719 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
720 # When logging to syslog, the following option caters for syslog replacements
721 # that are able to accept log entries longer than the 1024 characters allowed
722 # by RFC 3164. It is up to you to make sure your syslog daemon can handle this.
723 # Non-printable characters are usually unacceptable regardless, so log entries
724 # are still split on newline characters.
725
726 # SYSLOG_LONG_LINES=yes

792 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
793 # Support for authentication via Radius is also available. The Exim support,

796 # location of your Radius configuration file:
797
798 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
799 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radius.conf
800
801 # If you have set RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE, you should also set one of these to

803
804 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENT
805 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENTNEW
806 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADLIB
807
808 # RADIUSCLIENT is the radiusclient library; you probably need to add
809 # -lradiusclient to EXTRALIBS.
810 #
811 # The API for the radiusclient library was changed at release 0.4.0.
812 # Unfortunately, the header file does not define a version number that clients
813 # can use to support both the old and new APIs. If you are using version 0.4.0
814 # or later of the radiusclient library, you should use RADIUSCLIENTNEW.
815 #
816 # RADLIB is the Radius library that comes with FreeBSD (the header file is
817 # called radlib.h); you probably need to add -lradius to EXTRALIBS.
818 #
819 # If you do not set RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, Exim assumes the radiusclient library,
820 # using the original API.

882 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
883 # The default action of the exim_install script (which is run by "make

885 # exim-4.43-1, and then set up a symbolic link called "exim" to reference it,
886 # moving the symbolic link from any previous version. If you define NO_SYMLINK

893 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
894 # Another default action of the install script is to install a default runtime

896 # expanding system aliases. The default assumes that these aliases are kept
897 # in the traditional file called /etc/aliases. If such a file does not exist,
898 # the installation script creates one that contains just comments (no actual

904
905 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
906 # There are some testing options (-be, -bt, -bv) that read data from the
907 # standard input when no arguments are supplied. By default, the input lines
908 # are read using the standard fgets() function. This does not support line
909 # editing during interactive input (though the terminal's "erase" character
910 # works as normal). If your operating system has the readline() function, and
911 # in addition supports dynamic loading of library functions, you can cause
912 # Exim to use readline() for the -be testing option (only) by uncommenting the
913 # following setting. Dynamic loading is used so that the library is loaded only
914 # when the -be testing option is given; by the time the loading occurs,
915 # Exim has given up its root privilege and is running as the calling user. This
916 # is the reason why readline() is NOT supported for -bt and -bv, because Exim
917 # runs as root or as exim, respectively, for those options. When USE_READLINE
918 # is "yes", as well as supporting line editing, a history of input lines in the
919 # current run is maintained.
920
921 # USE_READLINE=yes
922
923 # You may need to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS when you set USE_READLINE=yes.
924 # Note that this option adds to the size of the Exim binary, because the

1144 # Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid

1147
1148 # PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim.pid
1149
1150 # If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory

1152
1153 # If you start up a daemon without the -bd option (for example, with just
1154 # the -q15m option), a pid file is not written. Also, if you override the
1155 # configuration file with the -oX option, no pid file is written. In other
