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

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

501 # refer to different uids or gids. It also allows you to build Exim on a system
502 # where the relevant user or group is not defined.
503
504
505 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
506 # The -C option allows Exim to be run with an alternate runtime configuration
507 # file. When this is used by root, root privilege is retained by the binary
508 # (for any other caller including the Exim user, it is dropped). You can
509 # restrict the location of alternate configurations by defining a prefix below.
510 # Any file used with -C must then start with this prefix (except that /dev/null
511 # is also permitted if the caller is root, because that is used in the install
512 # script). If the prefix specifies a directory that is owned by root, a
513 # compromise of the Exim account does not permit arbitrary alternate
514 # configurations to be used. The prefix can be more restrictive than just a
515 # directory (the second example).
516
517 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/
518 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/exim.conf-
519
520
521 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
522 # When a user other than root uses the -C option to override the configuration
523 # file (including the Exim user when re-executing Exim to regain root
524 # privileges for local message delivery), this will normally cause Exim to
525 # drop root privileges. The TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST option, specifies a file which
526 # contains a list of trusted configuration filenames, one per line. If the -C
527 # option is used by the Exim user or by the user specified in the
528 # CONFIGURE_OWNER setting, to specify a configuration file which is listed in
529 # the TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file, then root privileges are not dropped by Exim.
530
531 # TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST=/usr/exim/trusted_configs
532
533
534 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
535 # Uncommenting this option disables the use of the -D command line option,
536 # which changes the values of macros in the runtime configuration file.
537 # This is another protection against somebody breaking into the Exim account.
538
539 # DISABLE_D_OPTION=yes
540
541
542 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
543 # By contrast, you might be maintaining a system which relies upon the ability
544 # to override values with -D and assumes that these will be passed through to
545 # the delivery processes. As of Exim 4.73, this is no longer the case by
546 # default. Going forward, we strongly recommend that you use a shim Exim
547 # configuration file owned by root stored under TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST.
548 # That shim can set macros before .include'ing your main configuration file.
549 #
550 # As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
551 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS value definies a colon-separated list of macro-names
552 # which are permitted to be overridden from the command-line which will be
553 # honoured by the Exim user. So these are macros that can persist to delivery
554 # time.
555 # Examples might be -DTLS or -DSPOOL=/some/dir. The values on the
556 # command-line are filtered to only permit: [A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*
557 #
558 # This option is highly likely to be removed in a future release. It exists
559 # only to make 4.73 as easy as possible to migrate to. If you use it, we
560 # encourage you to schedule time to rework your configuration to not depend
561 # upon it. Most people should not need to use this.
562 #
563 # By default, no macros are whitelisted for -D usage.

600 # When Exim is decoding MIME "words" in header lines, most commonly for use
601 # in the $header_xxx expansion, it converts any foreign character sets to the
602 # one that is set in the headers_charset option. The default setting is
603 # defined by this setting:
604
605 HEADERS_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"
606
607 # If you are going to make use of $header_xxx expansions in your configuration
608 # file, or if your users are going to use them in filter files, and the normal
609 # character set on your host is something other than ISO-8859-1, you might
610 # like to specify a different default here. This value can be overridden in
611 # the runtime configuration, and it can also be overridden in individual filter
612 # files.
613 #
614 # IMPORTANT NOTE: The iconv() function is needed for character code
615 # conversions. Please see the next item...
616
617
618 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
619 # Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
620 # installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
621 # is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
622 # the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
623 # as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
624 #
625 # HAVE_ICONV=yes
626 #
627 # If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
628 # need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
629 # and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
630 # something like this:
631 #
632 # HAVE_ICONV=yes
633 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
634 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
635 #
636 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
637 # as well.
638
639
640 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
641 # The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
642 # function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
643 # "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
644 # configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
645 # operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
646 # 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
647 # supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.
648
649 # You can always indicate a crypt16-encrypted password by preceding it with
650 # "{crypt16}". If you want the default handling (without any preceding
651 # indicator) to use crypt16(), uncomment the following line:
652
653 # DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16
654
655 # If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding
656 # an encrypted password with "{crypt}". For more details, see the description
657 # of the "crypteq" condition in the manual chapter on string expansions.
658
659 # Some operating systems do not include a crypt16() function, so Exim has one
660 # of its own, which it uses unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined. Normally, that will
661 # be set in an OS-specific Makefile for the OS that have such a function, so
662 # you should not need to bother with it.
663
664 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
665 # It turns out that the above is not entirely accurate. As well as crypt16()
666 # there is a function called bigcrypt() that some operating systems have. This
667 # may or may not use the same algorithm, and both of them may be different to
668 # Exim's built-in crypt16() that is used unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined.
669 #
670 # However, since there is now a move away from the traditional crypt()
671 # functions towards using SHA1 and other algorithms, tidying up this area of
672 # Exim is seen as very low priority. In practice, if you need to, you can
673 # define DEFAULT_CRYPT to the name of any function that has the same interface
674 # as the traditional crypt() function.

679 # Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
680 # Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
681 # must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
682 # no cryptographic code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want
683 # to build Exim with TLS support. If you don't know what this is all about,
684 # leave these settings commented out.
685
686 # This setting is required for any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS)
687 # SUPPORT_TLS=yes
688
689 # Uncomment one of these settings if you are using OpenSSL; pkg-config vs not
690 # USE_OPENSSL_PC=openssl
691 # TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto
692
693 # Uncomment the first and either the second or the third of these if you
694 # are using GnuTLS. If you have pkg-config, then the second, else the third.
695 # USE_GNUTLS=yes
696 # USE_GNUTLS_PC=gnutls
697 # TLS_LIBS=-lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
698
699 # If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
700 # support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
701 # certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
702 # and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
703 # to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
704 # if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
705 # is all you need to do.
706
707 # If you are using pkg-config then you should not need to worry where the
708 # libraries and headers are installed, as the pkg-config .pc specification
709 # should include all -L/-I information necessary. If not using pkg-config
710 # then you might need to specify the locations too.
711
712 # Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
713 # GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
714 # with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
715 # need something like
716
717 # TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
718 # or
719 # TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
720
721 # TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
722 # auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
723 # set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
724
725 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
726 # or
727 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include
728
729 # You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
730 # specified in INCLUDE.
731
732
733 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
734 # The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
735 # documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
736 # the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
737 # sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
738 # with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
739 # version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
740 # because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
741 # example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball upacks into a
742 # directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
743 # In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
744 # have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
745 # directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
746 # Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and
747 # install them in the directory you have defined.
748
749 # INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info
750
751
752 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
753 # Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
754 # single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
755 # log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
756 # called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
757 # the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
758 # this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
759 # %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
760 # to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
761
762 # LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
763
764 # which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
765 # in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
766 # it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
767 # of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
768 # must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
769
770 # You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
771 # files, by settings such as these
772
773 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
774 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
775
776 # The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes
777 # to log files. Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up
778 # the building process.
779
780
781 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
782 # When logging to syslog, the following option caters for syslog replacements
783 # that are able to accept log entries longer than the 1024 characters allowed
784 # by RFC 3164. It is up to you to make sure your syslog daemon can handle this.
785 # Non-printable characters are usually unacceptable regardless, so log entries

859
860 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
861 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radius.conf

866 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENT
867 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENTNEW
868 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADLIB
869
870 # RADIUSCLIENT is the radiusclient library; you probably need to add
871 # -lradiusclient to EXTRALIBS.
872 #
873 # The API for the radiusclient library was changed at release 0.4.0.
874 # Unfortunately, the header file does not define a version number that clients
875 # can use to support both the old and new APIs. If you are using version 0.4.0
876 # or later of the radiusclient library, you should use RADIUSCLIENTNEW.
877 #
878 # RADLIB is the Radius library that comes with FreeBSD (the header file is
879 # called radlib.h); you probably need to add -lradius to EXTRALIBS.
880 #
881 # If you do not set RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, Exim assumes the radiusclient library,

973 # in addition supports dynamic loading of library functions, you can cause
974 # Exim to use readline() for the -be testing option (only) by uncommenting the
975 # following setting. Dynamic loading is used so that the library is loaded only

979 # runs as root or as exim, respectively, for those options. When USE_READLINE

1004 # The following commands live in different places in some OS. Either the
1005 # ultimate default settings, or the OS-specific files should already point to
1006 # the right place, but they can be overridden here if necessary. These settings
1007 # are used when building various scripts to ensure that the correct paths are
1008 # used when the scripts are run. They are not used in the Makefile itself. Perl
1009 # is not necessary for running Exim unless you set EXIM_PERL (see above) to get
1010 # it embedded, but there are some utilities that are Perl scripts. If you
1011 # haven't got Perl, Exim will still build and run; you just won't be able to

1031 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1032 # In some operating systems, the value of the TMPDIR environment variable
1033 # controls where temporary files are created. Exim does not make use of
1034 # temporary files, except when delivering to MBX mailboxes. However, if Exim
1035 # calls any external libraries (e.g. DBM libraries), they may use temporary
1036 # files, and thus be influenced by the value of TMPDIR. For this reason, when
1037 # Exim starts, it checks the environment for TMPDIR, and if it finds it is set,
1038 # it replaces the value with what is defined here. Commenting this setting
1039 # suppresses the check altogether.

1056 # In some installations there may be multiple machines sharing file systems,
1057 # where a different configuration file is required for Exim on the different
1058 # machines. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE is defined, then Exim will first look
1059 # for a configuration file whose name is that defined by CONFIGURE_FILE,
1060 # with the node name obtained by uname() tacked on the end, separated by a
1061 # period (for example, /usr/exim/configure.host.in.some.domain). If this file

1066
1067 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1068 # In some esoteric configurations two different versions of Exim are run,

1072 # by CONFIGURE_FILE, with the effective uid tacked on the end, separated by
1073 # a period (for eximple, /usr/exim/configure.0). If this file does not exist,
1074 # then the bare configuration file name is tried. In the case when both
1075 # CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID and CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE are set, four files

1216 # Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid

1219
1220 # PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim.pid
1221
1222 # If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory

1224
1225 # If you start up a daemon without the -bd option (for example, with just
1226 # the -q15m option), a pid file is not written. Also, if you override the
1227 # configuration file with the -oX option, no pid file is written. In other
1228 # words, the pid file is written only for a "standard" daemon.

1257 # Expanding match_* second paramters: BE CAREFUL IF ENABLING THIS!
1258 # It has proven too easy in practice for administrators to configure security
1259 # problems into their Exim install, by treating match_domain{}{} and friends
1260 # as a form of string comparison, where the second string comes from untrusted
1261 # data. Because these options take lists, which can include lookup;LOOKUPDATA
1262 # style elements, a foe can then cause Exim to, eg, execute an arbitrary MySQL
1263 # query, dropping tables.
1264 # From Exim 4.77 onwards, the second parameter is not expanded; it can still
1265 # be a list literal, or a macro, or a named list reference. There is also
1266 # the new expansion condition "inlisti" which does expand the second parameter,
1267 # but treats it as a list of strings; also, there's "eqi" which is probably
1268 # what is normally wanted.
1269 #
1270 # If you really need to have the old behaviour, know what you are doing and

1280 # Use it only when compiling Exim for your own use.
1281 #
1282 # Uncommenting this line enables the use of a runtime option called
