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.

82
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 very strongly
135 # discouraged.
136
137 EXIM_USER=
138
139 # If you specify EXIM_USER as a name, this is looked up at build time, and the
140 # uid number is built into the binary. However, you can specify that this
141 # lookup is deferred until runtime. In this case, it is the name that is built
142 # into the binary. You can do this by a setting of the form:
143
144 # EXIM_USER=ref:exim
145
146 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user name. If you set EXIM_USER
147 # like this, any value specified for EXIM_GROUP is also passed "by reference".
148 # Although this costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use
149 # this feature when building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems
150 # where the name may refer to different uids. It also allows you to build Exim
151 # on a system where there is no Exim user defined.
152
153 # If the setting of EXIM_USER is numeric (e.g. EXIM_USER=42), there must
154 # also be a setting of EXIM_GROUP. If, on the other hand, you use a name
155 # for EXIM_USER (e.g. EXIM_USER=exim), you don't need to set EXIM_GROUP unless
156 # you want to use a group other than the default group for the given user.
157
158 # EXIM_GROUP=
159
160 # Many sites define a user called "exim", with an appropriate default group,
161 # and use
162 #
163 # EXIM_USER=exim
164 #
165 # while leaving EXIM_GROUP unspecified (commented out).
166
167
168 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
169 # SPOOL_DIRECTORY defines the directory where all the data for messages in
170 # transit is kept. It is strongly recommended that you define it here, though
171 # it is possible to leave this till the run time configuration.
172
173 # Exim creates the spool directory if it does not exist. The owner and group
174 # will be those defined by EXIM_USER and EXIM_GROUP, and this also applies to
175 # all the files and directories that are created in the spool directory.
176
177 # Almost all installations choose this:

375 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
376 # Although Exim is normally a setuid program, owned by root, it refuses to run
377 # local deliveries as root by default. There is a runtime option called

424 # If the prefix specifies a directory that is owned by root, a compromise of

500 # is relevant: (a) The $header_xxx expansion (see the previous item), and (b)
501 # the Sieve filter support. For those OS where iconv() is known to be installed
502 # as standard, the file in OS/Makefile-xxxx contains
503 #
504 # HAVE_ICONV=yes
505 #
506 # If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
507 # need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
508 # and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
509 # something like this:
510 #
511 # HAVE_ICONV=yes
512 # CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
513 # EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
514 #
515 # but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
516 # as well.
517
518
519 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
520 # The passwords for user accounts are normally encrypted with the crypt()
521 # function. Comparisons with encrypted passwords can be done using Exim's
522 # "crypteq" expansion operator. (This is commonly used as part of the
523 # configuration of an authenticator for use with SMTP AUTH.) At least one
524 # operating system has an extended function called crypt16(), which uses up to
525 # 16 characters of a password (the normal crypt() uses only the first 8). Exim
526 # supports the use of crypt16() as well as crypt().
527
528 # You can always indicate a crypt16-encrypted password by preceding it with
529 # "{crypt16}". If you want the default handling (without any preceding
530 # indicator) to use crypt16(), uncomment the following line:
531
532 # DEFAULT_CRYPT=crypt16
533
534 # If you do that, you can still access the basic crypt() function by preceding
535 # an encrypted password with "{crypt}". For more details, see the description
536 # of the "crypteq" condition in the manual chapter on string expansions.
537
538 # Since most operating systems do not include a crypt16() function (yet?), Exim
539 # has one of its own, which it uses unless HAVE_CRYPT16 is defined. Normally,
540 # that will be set in an OS-specific Makefile for the OS that have such a
541 # function, so you should not need to bother with it.
542
543
544 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
545 # Exim can be built to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
546 # Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). To do this, you
547 # must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
548 # no cryptographic code of its own. Uncomment the following lines if you want
549 # to build Exim with TLS support. If you don't know what this is all about,
550 # leave these settings commented out.
551
552 # This setting is required for any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS)
553 # SUPPORT_TLS=yes
554
555 # Uncomment this setting if you are using OpenSSL
556 # TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto
557
558 # Uncomment these settings if you are using GnuTLS
559 # USE_GNUTLS=yes
560 # TLS_LIBS=-lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
561
562 # If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
563 # support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
564 # certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
565 # and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
566 # to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
567 # if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
568 # is all you need to do.
569
570 # Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
571 # GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
572 # with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
573 # need something like
574
575 # TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
576 # or
577 # TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
578
579 # TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
580 # auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
581 # set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
582
583 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
584 # or
585 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include
586
587 # You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
588 # specified in INCLUDE.
589
590
591 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
592 # The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
593 # documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
594 # the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
595 # sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
596 # with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
597 # version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
598 # because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
599 # example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball upacks into a
600 # directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
601 # In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
602 # have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
603 # directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
604 # Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and
605 # install them in the directory you have defined.
606
607 # INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info
608
609
610 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
611 # Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
612 # single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
613 # log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
614 # called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
615 # the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
616 # this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
617 # %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
618 # to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
619
620 # LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
621
622 # which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
623 # in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
624 # it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
625 # of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
626 # must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
627
628 # You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
629 # files, by settings such as these
630
631 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
632 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
633
634 # The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes
635 # to log files. Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up
636 # the building process.
637
638
639 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
640 # When logging to syslog, the following option caters for syslog replacements
641 # that are able to accept log entries longer than the 1024 characters allowed
642 # by RFC 3164. It is up to you to make sure your syslog daemon can handle this.
643 # Non-printable characters are usually unacceptable regardless, so log entries
644 # are still split on newline characters.

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

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

788
789 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
790 # Another default action of the install script is to install a default runtime
791 # configuration file if one does not exist. This configuration has a router for
792 # expanding system aliases. The default assumes that these aliases are kept
793 # in the traditional file called /etc/aliases. If such a file does not exist,
794 # the installation script creates one that contains just comments (no actual

802 # There are some testing options (-be, -bt, -bv) that read data from the

805 # editing during interactive input (though the terminal's "erase" character
806 # works as normal). If your operating system has the readline() function, and
807 # in addition supports dynamic loading of library functions, you can cause
808 # Exim to use readline() for the -be testing option (only) by uncommenting the
809 # following setting. Dynamic loading is used so that the library is loaded only
810 # when the -be testing option is given; by the time the loading occurs,
811 # Exim has given up its root privilege and is running as the calling user. This
812 # is the reason why readline() is NOT supported for -bt and -bv, because Exim
813 # runs as root or as exim, respectively, for those options. When USE_READLINE
814 # is "yes", as well as supporting line editing, a history of input lines in the

1013 # human administrators. These logs are held in a directory called "msglog"
1014 # in the spool directory. Its mode defaults to 0750, but can be changed here.

1034 # Identifying the daemon: When an Exim daemon starts up, it writes its pid
1035 # (process id) to a file so that it can easily be identified. The path of the
1036 # file can be specified here. Some installations may want something like this:
1037
1038 # PID_FILE_PATH=/var/lock/exim.pid
1039
1040 # If PID_FILE_PATH is not defined, Exim writes a file in its spool directory
1041 # using the name "exim-daemon.pid".
1042
1043 # If you start up a daemon without the -bd option (for example, with just
1044 # the -q15m option), a pid file is not written. Also, if you override the
1045 # configuration file with the -oX option, no pid file is written. In other
1046 # words, the pid file is written only for a "standard" daemon.
