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
16 # called called OS/Makefile-<osname>. You can further override these by
17 # creating files called Local/Makefile-<osname>, and
18 # Local/Makefile-<buildname> (where "<osname>" stands for the name of
19 # your operating system - look at the names in the OS directory to see
20 # which names are recognized, and "<buildname>" is derived from the
21 # environment variable "build")
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:
177

263 #
264 # *BEWARE*: ability to modify the files in LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR is equivalent to
265 # the ability to modify the Exim binary, which is often setuid root! The Exim
266 # developers only intend this functionality be used by OS software packagers
267 # and we suggest that such packagings' integrity checks should be paranoid

277 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
278 # These settings determine which file and database lookup methods are included

282 # LOOKUP_DNSDB does *not* refer to general mail routing using the DNS. It is

284 # common).
285 # If set to "2" instead of "yes" then the corresponding lookup will be
286 # built as a module and must be installed into LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR. You need to
287 # add -export-dynamic -rdynamic to EXTRALIBS. You may also need to add -ldl to
288 # EXTRALIBS so that dlopen() is available to Exim. You need to define
289 # LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR above so the exim binary actually loads dynamic lookup
290 # modules.
291 # Also, instead of adding all the libraries/includes to LOOKUP_INCLUDE and
292 # LOOKUP_LIBS, add them to the respective LOOKUP_*_INCLUDE and LOOKUP_*_LIBS
293 # (where * is the name as given here in this list). That ensures that only

523 # The items in this section are those that are commonly changed according to
524 # the sysadmin's preferences, but whose defaults are often acceptable. The
525 # first five are concerned with security issues, where differing levels of
526 # paranoia are appropriate in different environments. Sysadmins also vary in
527 # their views on appropriate levels of defence in these areas. If you do not
528 # understand these issues, go with the defaults, which are used by many sites.
529
530
531 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
532 # Although Exim is normally a setuid program, owned by root, it refuses to run
533 # local deliveries as root by default. There is a runtime option called
534 # "never_users" which lists the users that must never be used for local
535 # deliveries. There is also the setting below, which provides a list that
536 # cannot be overridden at runtime. This guards against problems caused by
537 # unauthorized changes to the runtime configuration. You are advised not to
538 # remove "root" from this option, but you can add other users if you want. The
539 # list is colon-separated. It must NOT contain any spaces.
540
541 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root:bin:daemon
542 FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root
543
544
545 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
546 # By default, Exim insists that its configuration file be owned by root. You
547 # can specify one additional permitted owner here.
548
549 # CONFIGURE_OWNER=
550
551 # If the configuration file is group-writeable, Exim insists by default that it
552 # is owned by root. You can specify one additional permitted group owner here.
553
554 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=
555
556 # If you specify CONFIGURE_OWNER or CONFIGURE_GROUP as a name, this is looked
557 # up at build time, and the uid or gid number is built into the binary.
558 # However, you can specify that the lookup is deferred until runtime. In this
559 # case, it is the name that is built into the binary. You can do this by a
560 # setting of the form:
561
562 # CONFIGURE_OWNER=ref:mail
563 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=ref:sysadmin
564
565 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user or group name. Although this
566 # costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use this feature when
567 # building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems where the names may
568 # refer to different uids or gids. It also allows you to build Exim on a system
569 # where the relevant user or group is not defined.
570
571
572 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
573 # The -C option allows Exim to be run with an alternate runtime configuration
574 # file. When this is used by root, root privilege is retained by the binary
575 # (for any other caller including the Exim user, it is dropped). You can
576 # restrict the location of alternate configurations by defining a prefix below.
577 # Any file used with -C must then start with this prefix (except that /dev/null
578 # is also permitted if the caller is root, because that is used in the install
579 # script). If the prefix specifies a directory that is owned by root, a
580 # compromise of the Exim account does not permit arbitrary alternate
581 # configurations to be used. The prefix can be more restrictive than just a
582 # directory (the second example).
583
584 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/
585 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/exim.conf-
586
587
588 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
589 # When a user other than root uses the -C option to override the configuration
590 # file (including the Exim user when re-executing Exim to regain root
591 # privileges for local message delivery), this will normally cause Exim to
592 # drop root privileges. The TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST option, specifies a file which
593 # contains a list of trusted configuration filenames, one per line. If the -C
594 # option is used by the Exim user or by the user specified in the
595 # CONFIGURE_OWNER setting, to specify a configuration file which is listed in
596 # the TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file, then root privileges are not dropped by Exim.
597
598 # TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST=/usr/exim/trusted_configs
599
600
601 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
602 # Uncommenting this option disables the use of the -D command line option,
603 # which changes the values of macros in the runtime configuration file.
604 # This is another protection against somebody breaking into the Exim account.
605
606 # DISABLE_D_OPTION=yes
607
608
609 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
610 # By contrast, you might be maintaining a system which relies upon the ability
611 # to override values with -D and assumes that these will be passed through to
612 # the delivery processes. As of Exim 4.73, this is no longer the case by
613 # default. Going forward, we strongly recommend that you use a shim Exim
614 # configuration file owned by root stored under TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST.
615 # That shim can set macros before .include'ing your main configuration file.
616 #
617 # As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
618 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS value defines a colon-separated list of macro-names
619 # which are permitted to be overridden from the command-line which will be
620 # honoured by the Exim user. So these are macros that can persist to delivery
621 # time.
622 # Examples might be -DTLS or -DSPOOL=/some/dir. The values on the
623 # command-line are filtered to only permit: [A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*
624 #
625 # This option is highly likely to be removed in a future release. It exists
626 # only to make 4.73 as easy as possible to migrate to. If you use it, we
627 # encourage you to schedule time to rework your configuration to not depend
628 # upon it. Most people should not need to use this.
629 #
630 # By default, no macros are whitelisted for -D usage.

635 # Exim has support for the AUTH (authentication) extension of the SMTP

637 # is, you probably won't want to include this code, so you should leave these
638 # settings commented out. If you do want to make use of SMTP authentication,
639 # you must uncomment at least one of the following, so that appropriate code is
640 # included in the Exim binary. You will then need to set up the run time

672 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
673 # When Exim is decoding MIME "words" in header lines, most commonly for use
674 # in the $header_xxx expansion, it converts any foreign character sets to the
675 # one that is set in the headers_charset option. The default setting is
676 # defined by this setting:
677
678 HEADERS_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1"
679
680 # If you are going to make use of $header_xxx expansions in your configuration
681 # file, or if your users are going to use them in filter files, and the normal
682 # character set on your host is something other than ISO-8859-1, you might
683 # like to specify a different default here. This value can be overridden in
684 # the runtime configuration, and it can also be overridden in individual filter
685 # files.
686 #
687 # IMPORTANT NOTE: The iconv() function is needed for character code
688 # conversions. Please see the next item...
689
690
691 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
692 # Character code conversions are possible only if the iconv() function is
693 # installed on your operating system. There are two places in Exim where this
694 # is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
695 # the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
696 # as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
697 #
698 # HAVE_ICONV=yes
699 #
700 # If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
701 # need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
702 # and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
703 # something like this:
704 #
705 # HAVE_ICONV=yes
706 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
707 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
708 #
709 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
710 # as well.
711 #
712 # nb: FreeBSD as of 4.89 defines LIBICONV_PLUG to pick up the system iconv
713 # more reliably. If you explicitly want the libiconv Port then as well
714 # as adding -liconv you'll want to unset LIBICONV_PLUG. If you actually need
715 # this, let us know, but for now the Exim Maintainers are assuming that this
716 # is uncommon and so you'll need to edit OS/os.h-FreeBSD yourself to remove
717 # the define.
718
719
720 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
721 # The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
722 # function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
723 # "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
724 # configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
725 # operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
726 # 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
727 # supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt() but note the warning below.
728
729 # You can always indicate a crypt16-encrypted password by preceding it with
730 # "{crypt16}". If you want the default handling (without any preceding
731 # indicator) to use crypt16(), uncomment the following line:
732
733 # DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16
734
735 # If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding
736 # an encrypted password with "{crypt}". For more details, see the description
737 # of the "crypteq" condition in the manual chapter on string expansions.
738
739 # Some operating systems do not include a crypt16() function, so Exim has one
740 # of its own, which it uses unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined. Normally, that will
741 # be set in an OS-specific Makefile for the OS that have such a function, so
742 # you should not need to bother with it.
743
744 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***
745 # It turns out that the above is not entirely accurate. As well as crypt16()
746 # there is a function called bigcrypt() that some operating systems have. This
747 # may or may not use the same algorithm, and both of them may be different to
748 # Exim's built-in crypt16() that is used unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined.
749 #
750 # However, since there is now a move away from the traditional crypt()
751 # functions towards using SHA1 and other algorithms, tidying up this area of
752 # Exim is seen as very low priority. In practice, if you need to, you can
753 # define DEFAULT_CRYPT to the name of any function that has the same interface
754 # as the traditional crypt() function.
755 # *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ***

758 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
759 # Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
760 # Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
761 # must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
762 # no cryptographic code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want
763 # to build Exim with TLS support. If you don't know what this is all about,
764 # leave these settings commented out.
765
766 # This setting is required for any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS)
767 # SUPPORT_TLS=yes

770 # USE_OPENSSL_PC=openssl

772
773 # Uncomment the first and either the second or the third of these if you
774 # are using GnuTLS. If you have pkg-config, then the second, else the third.
775 # USE_GNUTLS=yes
776 # USE_GNUTLS_PC=gnutls
777 # TLS_LIBS=-lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
778
779 # If using GnuTLS older than 2.10 and using pkg-config then note that Exim's
780 # build process will require libgcrypt-config to exist in your $PATH. A
781 # version that old is likely to become unsupported by Exim in 2017.
782
783 # The security fix we provide with the gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 option
784 # (4.82 PP/09) introduces a compatibility regression. The symbol is
785 # not available if GnuTLS is build without p11-kit (--without-p11-kit
786 # configure option). In this case use AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes when
787 # building Exim.
788 # AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes
789
790 # If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
791 # support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
792 # certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
793 # and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
794 # to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
795 # if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
796 # is all you need to do.
797
798 # If you are using pkg-config then you should not need to worry where the
799 # libraries and headers are installed, as the pkg-config .pc specification
800 # should include all -L/-I information necessary. If not using pkg-config
801 # then you might need to specify the locations too.
802
803 # Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
804 # GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
805 # with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
806 # need something like
807
808 # TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
809 # or
810 # TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
811
812 # For DANE under GnuTLS we need an additional library.
813 # TLS_LIBS += -lgnutls-dane
814
815 # TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
816 # auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
817 # set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
818
819 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
820 # or
821 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include
822
823 # You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
824 # specified in INCLUDE.
825
826
827 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
828 # The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
829 # documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
830 # the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
831 # sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
832 # with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
833 # version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
834 # because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
835 # example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball unpacks into a
836 # directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
837 # In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
838 # have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
839 # directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
840 # Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and
841 # install them in the directory you have defined.
842
843 # INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info
844
845
846 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
847 # Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
848 # single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
849 # log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
850 # called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
851 # the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
852 # this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
853 # %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
854 # to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
855
856 # LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
857
858 # which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
859 # in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
860 # it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
861 # of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
862 # must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
863
864 # You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
865 # files, by settings such as these
866
867 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
868 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
869
870 # The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes
871 # to log files. Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up
872 # the building process.
873
874
875 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
876 # When logging to syslog, the following option caters for syslog replacements
877 # that are able to accept log entries longer than the 1024 characters allowed
878 # by RFC 3164. It is up to you to make sure your syslog daemon can handle this.

999
1000 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
1001 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radius.conf

1008 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADLIB
1009
1010 # RADIUSCLIENT is the radiusclient library; you probably need to add
1011 # -lradiusclient to EXTRALIBS.
1012 #
1013 # The API for the radiusclient library was changed at release 0.4.0.
1014 # Unfortunately, the header file does not define a version number that clients
1015 # can use to support both the old and new APIs. If you are using version 0.4.0
1016 # or later of the radiusclient library, you should use RADIUSCLIENTNEW.
1017 #
1018 # RADLIB is the Radius library that comes with FreeBSD (the header file is
1019 # called radlib.h); you probably need to add -lradius to EXTRALIBS.
1020 #
1021 # If you do not set RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, Exim assumes the radiusclient library,
1022 # using the original API.

1085 # The default action of the exim_install script (which is run by "make

1087 # exim-4.43-1, and then set up a symbolic link called "exim" to reference it,
1088 # moving the symbolic link from any previous version. If you define NO_SYMLINK
1089 # (the value doesn't matter), the symbolic link is not created or moved. You

1094
1095 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1096 # Another default action of the install script is to install a default runtime

1098 # expanding system aliases. The default assumes that these aliases are kept
1099 # in the traditional file called /etc/aliases. If such a file does not exist,
1100 # the installation script creates one that contains just comments (no actual

1108 # There are some testing options (-be, -bt, -bv) that read data from the
1109 # standard input when no arguments are supplied. By default, the input lines
1110 # are read using the standard fgets() function. This does not support line
1111 # editing during interactive input (though the terminal's "erase" character
1112 # works as normal). If your operating system has the readline() function, and
1113 # in addition supports dynamic loading of library functions, you can cause
1114 # Exim to use readline() for the -be testing option (only) by uncommenting the
1115 # following setting. Dynamic loading is used so that the library is loaded only
1116 # when the -be testing option is given; by the time the loading occurs,
1117 # Exim has given up its root privilege and is running as the calling user. This
1118 # is the reason why readline() is NOT supported for -bt and -bv, because Exim
1119 # runs as root or as exim, respectively, for those options. When USE_READLINE
1120 # is "yes", as well as supporting line editing, a history of input lines in the
1121 # current run is maintained.

1125 # You may need to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS when you set USE_READLINE=yes.

1127 # dynamic loading library is not otherwise included.
1128
1129 # If libreadline is not in the normal library paths, then because Exim is
1130 # setuid you'll need to ensure that the correct directory is stamped into

1411 # style elements, a foe can then cause Exim to, eg, execute an arbitrary MySQL
1412 # query, dropping tables.
1413 # From Exim 4.77 onwards, the second parameter is not expanded; it can still
