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
174 # Almost all installations choose this:

261 #
262 # *BEWARE*: ability to modify the files in LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR is equivalent to
263 # the ability to modify the Exim binary, which is often setuid root! The Exim
264 # developers only intend this functionality be used by OS software packagers

281 # for the specialist case of using the DNS as a general database facility (not
282 # common).
283 # If set to "2" instead of "yes" then the corresponding lookup will be
284 # built as a module and must be installed into LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR. You need to
285 # add -export-dynamic -rdynamic to EXTRALIBS. You may also need to add -ldl to
286 # EXTRALIBS so that dlopen() is available to Exim. You need to define
287 # LOOKUP_MODULE_DIR above so the exim binary actually loads dynamic lookup
288 # modules.
289 # Also, instead of adding all the libraries/includes to LOOKUP_INCLUDE and
290 # LOOKUP_LIBS, add them to the respective LOOKUP_*_INCLUDE and LOOKUP_*_LIBS

529 # The items in this section are those that are commonly changed according to
530 # the sysadmin's preferences, but whose defaults are often acceptable. The
531 # first five are concerned with security issues, where differing levels of
532 # paranoia are appropriate in different environments. Sysadmins also vary in
533 # their views on appropriate levels of defence in these areas. If you do not
534 # understand these issues, go with the defaults, which are used by many sites.
535
536
537 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
538 # Although Exim is normally a setuid program, owned by root, it refuses to run
539 # local deliveries as root by default. There is a runtime option called
540 # "never_users" which lists the users that must never be used for local
541 # deliveries. There is also the setting below, which provides a list that
542 # cannot be overridden at runtime. This guards against problems caused by
543 # unauthorized changes to the runtime configuration. You are advised not to
544 # remove "root" from this option, but you can add other users if you want. The
545 # list is colon-separated. It must NOT contain any spaces.
546
547 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root:bin:daemon
548 FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root
549
550
551 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
552 # By default, Exim insists that its configuration file be owned by root. You
553 # can specify one additional permitted owner here.
554
555 # CONFIGURE_OWNER=
556
557 # If the configuration file is group-writeable, Exim insists by default that it
558 # is owned by root. You can specify one additional permitted group owner here.
559
560 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=
561
562 # If you specify CONFIGURE_OWNER or CONFIGURE_GROUP as a name, this is looked
563 # up at build time, and the uid or gid number is built into the binary.
564 # However, you can specify that the lookup is deferred until runtime. In this
565 # case, it is the name that is built into the binary. You can do this by a
566 # setting of the form:
567
568 # CONFIGURE_OWNER=ref:mail
569 # CONFIGURE_GROUP=ref:sysadmin
570
571 # In other words, put "ref:" in front of the user or group name. Although this
572 # costs a bit of resource at runtime, it is convenient to use this feature when
573 # building binaries that are to be run on multiple systems where the names may
574 # refer to different uids or gids. It also allows you to build Exim on a system
575 # where the relevant user or group is not defined.
576
577
578 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
579 # The -C option allows Exim to be run with an alternate runtime configuration
580 # file. When this is used by root, root privilege is retained by the binary
581 # (for any other caller including the Exim user, it is dropped). You can
582 # restrict the location of alternate configurations by defining a prefix below.
583 # Any file used with -C must then start with this prefix (except that /dev/null
584 # is also permitted if the caller is root, because that is used in the install
585 # script). If the prefix specifies a directory that is owned by root, a
586 # compromise of the Exim account does not permit arbitrary alternate
587 # configurations to be used. The prefix can be more restrictive than just a
588 # directory (the second example).
589
590 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/
591 # ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=/some/directory/exim.conf-
592
593
594 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
595 # When a user other than root uses the -C option to override the configuration
596 # file (including the Exim user when re-executing Exim to regain root
597 # privileges for local message delivery), this will normally cause Exim to
598 # drop root privileges. The TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST option, specifies a file which
599 # contains a list of trusted configuration filenames, one per line. If the -C
600 # option is used by the Exim user or by the user specified in the
601 # CONFIGURE_OWNER setting, to specify a configuration file which is listed in
602 # the TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST file, then root privileges are not dropped by Exim.
603
604 # TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST=/usr/exim/trusted_configs
605
606
607 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
608 # Uncommenting this option disables the use of the -D command line option,
609 # which changes the values of macros in the runtime configuration file.
610 # This is another protection against somebody breaking into the Exim account.
611
612 # DISABLE_D_OPTION=yes
613
614
615 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
616 # By contrast, you might be maintaining a system which relies upon the ability
617 # to override values with -D and assumes that these will be passed through to
618 # the delivery processes. As of Exim 4.73, this is no longer the case by
619 # default. Going forward, we strongly recommend that you use a shim Exim
620 # configuration file owned by root stored under TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST.
621 # That shim can set macros before .include'ing your main configuration file.
622 #
623 # As a strictly transient measure to ease migration to 4.73, the
624 # WHITELIST_D_MACROS value defines a colon-separated list of macro-names
625 # which are permitted to be overridden from the command-line which will be
626 # honoured by the Exim user. So these are macros that can persist to delivery
627 # time.
628 # Examples might be -DTLS or -DSPOOL=/some/dir. The values on the
629 # command-line are filtered to only permit: [A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*
630 #
631 # This option is highly likely to be removed in a future release. It exists
632 # only to make 4.73 as easy as possible to migrate to. If you use it, we
633 # encourage you to schedule time to rework your configuration to not depend
634 # upon it. Most people should not need to use this.
635 #
636 # By default, no macros are whitelisted for -D usage.

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

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

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

781 # USE_GNUTLS_PC=gnutls
782 # TLS_LIBS=-lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
783
784 # If using GnuTLS older than 2.10 and using pkg-config then note that Exim's
785 # build process will require libgcrypt-config to exist in your $PATH. A
786 # version that old is likely to become unsupported by Exim in 2017.
787
788 # The security fix we provide with the gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 option
789 # (4.82 PP/09) introduces a compatibility regression. The symbol is
790 # not available if GnuTLS is build without p11-kit (--without-p11-kit
791 # configure option). In this case use AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes when
792 # building Exim.
793 # AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11=yes
794
795 # If you are running Exim as a server, note that just building it with TLS
796 # support is not all you need to do. You also need to set up a suitable
797 # certificate, and tell Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate
798 # and tls_privatekey run time options. You also need to set tls_advertise_hosts
799 # to specify the hosts to which Exim advertises TLS support. On the other hand,
800 # if you are running Exim only as a client, building it with TLS support
801 # is all you need to do.
802
803 # If you are using pkg-config then you should not need to worry where the
804 # libraries and headers are installed, as the pkg-config .pc specification
805 # should include all -L/-I information necessary. If not using pkg-config
806 # then you might need to specify the locations too.
807
808 # Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
809 # GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
810 # with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
811 # need something like
812
813 # TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
814 # or
815 # TLS_LIBS=-L/opt/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
816
817 # For DANE under GnuTLS we need an additional library.
818 # TLS_LIBS += -lgnutls-dane
819
820 # TLS_LIBS is included only on the command for linking Exim itself, not on any
821 # auxiliary programs. If the include files are not in a standard place, you can
822 # set TLS_INCLUDE to specify where they are, for example:
823
824 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/
825 # or
826 # TLS_INCLUDE=-I/opt/gnu/include
827
828 # You don't need to set TLS_INCLUDE if the relevant directories are already
829 # specified in INCLUDE.
830
831
832 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
833 # The default distribution of Exim contains only the plain text form of the
834 # documentation. Other forms are available separately. If you want to install
835 # the documentation in "info" format, first fetch the Texinfo documentation
836 # sources from the ftp directory and unpack them, which should create files
837 # with the extension "texinfo" in the doc directory. You may find that the
838 # version number of the texinfo files is different to your Exim version number,
839 # because the main documentation isn't updated as often as the code. For
840 # example, if you have Exim version 4.43, the source tarball unpacks into a
841 # directory called exim-4.43, but the texinfo tarball unpacks into exim-4.40.
842 # In this case, move the contents of exim-4.40/doc into exim-4.43/doc after you
843 # have unpacked them. Then set INFO_DIRECTORY to the location of your info
844 # directory. This varies from system to system, but is often /usr/share/info.
845 # Once you have done this, "make install" will build the info files and
846 # install them in the directory you have defined.
847
848 # INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info
849
850
851 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
852 # Exim log directory and files: Exim creates several log files inside a
853 # single log directory. You can define the directory and the form of the
854 # log file name here. If you do not set anything, Exim creates a directory
855 # called "log" inside its spool directory (see SPOOL_DIRECTORY above) and uses
856 # the filenames "mainlog", "paniclog", and "rejectlog". If you want to change
857 # this, you can set LOG_FILE_PATH to a path name containing one occurrence of
858 # %s. This will be replaced by one of the strings "main", "panic", or "reject"
859 # to form the final file names. Some installations may want something like this:
860
861 # LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim_%slog
862
863 # which results in files with names /var/log/exim_mainlog, etc. The directory
864 # in which the log files are placed must exist; Exim does not try to create
865 # it for itself. It is also your responsibility to ensure that Exim is capable
866 # of writing files using this path name. The Exim user (see EXIM_USER above)
867 # must be able to create and update files in the directory you have specified.
868
869 # You can also configure Exim to use syslog, instead of or as well as log
870 # files, by settings such as these
871
872 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog
873 # LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog:/var/log/exim_%slog
874
875 # The first of these uses only syslog; the second uses syslog and also writes
876 # to log files. Do not include white space in such a setting as it messes up
877 # the building process.
878
879
880 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
881 # When logging to syslog, the following option caters for syslog replacements
882 # that are able to accept log entries longer than the 1024 characters allowed
883 # by RFC 3164. It is up to you to make sure your syslog daemon can handle this.

990 # Support for authentication via Radius is also available. The Exim support,
991 # which is intended for use in conjunction with the SMTP AUTH facilities,
992 # is included only when requested by setting the following parameter to the
993 # location of your Radius configuration file:
994
995 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf
996 # RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/radius.conf
997
998 # If you have set RADIUS_CONFIG_FILE, you should also set one of these to
999 # indicate which RADIUS library is used:
1000
1001 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENT
1002 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADIUSCLIENTNEW
1003 # RADIUS_LIB_TYPE=RADLIB
1004
1005 # RADIUSCLIENT is the radiusclient library; you probably need to add
1006 # -lradiusclient to EXTRALIBS.
1007 #
1008 # The API for the radiusclient library was changed at release 0.4.0.
1009 # Unfortunately, the header file does not define a version number that clients
1010 # can use to support both the old and new APIs. If you are using version 0.4.0
1011 # or later of the radiusclient library, you should use RADIUSCLIENTNEW.
1012 #
1013 # RADLIB is the Radius library that comes with FreeBSD (the header file is
1014 # called radlib.h); you probably need to add -lradius to EXTRALIBS.
1015 #
1016 # If you do not set RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, Exim assumes the radiusclient library,
1017 # using the original API.

1059 # USE_TCP_WRAPPERS=yes

1061 # You may well also have to specify a local "include" file and an additional

1069 # as well.
1070 #
1071 # To use a name other than exim in the tcpwrappers config file,
1072 # e.g. if you're running multiple daemons with different access lists,

1079 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1080 # The default action of the exim_install script (which is run by "make

1082 # exim-4.43-1, and then set up a symbolic link called "exim" to reference it,
1083 # moving the symbolic link from any previous version. If you define NO_SYMLINK
1084 # (the value doesn't matter), the symbolic link is not created or moved. You

1089
1090 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1091 # Another default action of the install script is to install a default runtime

1093 # expanding system aliases. The default assumes that these aliases are kept
1094 # in the traditional file called /etc/aliases. If such a file does not exist,
1095 # the installation script creates one that contains just comments (no actual
1096 # aliases). The following setting can be changed to specify a different

1103 # There are some testing options (-be, -bt, -bv) that read data from the
1104 # standard input when no arguments are supplied. By default, the input lines
1105 # are read using the standard fgets() function. This does not support line
1106 # editing during interactive input (though the terminal's "erase" character
1107 # works as normal). If your operating system has the readline() function, and
1108 # in addition supports dynamic loading of library functions, you can cause
1109 # Exim to use readline() for the -be testing option (only) by uncommenting the
1110 # following setting. Dynamic loading is used so that the library is loaded only
1111 # when the -be testing option is given; by the time the loading occurs,
1112 # Exim has given up its root privilege and is running as the calling user. This
1113 # is the reason why readline() is NOT supported for -bt and -bv, because Exim
1114 # runs as root or as exim, respectively, for those options. When USE_READLINE
1115 # is "yes", as well as supporting line editing, a history of input lines in the
1116 # current run is maintained.
1117
1118 # USE_READLINE=yes
1119
1120 # You may need to add -ldl to EXTRALIBS when you set USE_READLINE=yes.
1121 # Note that this option adds to the size of the Exim binary, because the
1122 # dynamic loading library is not otherwise included.
1123
1124 # If libreadline is not in the normal library paths, then because Exim is
1125 # setuid you'll need to ensure that the correct directory is stamped into
1126 # the binary so that dlopen will find it.

1407 # query, dropping tables.
1408 # From Exim 4.77 onwards, the second parameter is not expanded; it can still
