8 # This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in
9 # uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list
10 # of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a
11 # configuration file. There are many more than are mentioned here. The
12 # manual is in the file doc/spec.txt in the Exim distribution as a plain
13 # ASCII file. Other formats (PostScript, Texinfo, HTML, PDF) are available
14 # from the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online at the Exim web sites.

17 # This file is divided into several parts, all but the first of which are
18 # headed by a line starting with the word "begin". Only those parts that
19 # are required need to be present. Blank lines, and lines starting with #
20 # are ignored.

25 # Whenever you change Exim's configuration file, you *must* remember to #
26 # HUP the Exim daemon, because it will not pick up the new configuration #
27 # until you do. However, any other Exim processes that are started, for #
28 # example, a process started by an MUA in order to send a message, will #
29 # see the new configuration as soon as it is in place. #
30 # #
31 # You do not need to HUP the daemon for changes in auxiliary files that #
32 # are referenced from this file. They are read every time they are used. #
33 # #
34 # It is usually a good idea to test a new configuration for syntactic #
35 # correctness before installing it (for example, by running the command #
36 # "exim -C /config/file.new -bV"). #

43 # MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
44 ######################################################################
45
46 # Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully
47 # qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the
48 # uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases this does
49 # the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.
50
51 # primary_hostname =
52
53
54 # The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts.
55 # These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
56 # +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
57 # are all colon-separated lists:
58
59 domainlist local_domains = @
60 domainlist relay_to_domains =
61 hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1
62
63 # Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
64 # appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations,
65 # you may need to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) which appear later in
66 # this file.
67
68 # The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
69 #
70 # domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
71 #
72 # You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
73 # setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
74 # as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
75 # deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
76 # addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
77 # "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
78 # list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
79 # recommended for today's Internet.
80
81 # The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
82 # If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
83 # if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
84 # must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
85 #
86 # domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
87 #
88 # This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
89 # See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
90 # information.
91
92 # The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
93 # to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
94 # complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
95 #
96 # hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 192.168.0.0/16
97 #
98 # The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
99 # have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
100 # SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
101 # sending mail.
102
103 # All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item, including
104 # wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference
105 # manual for details. The lists above are used in the access control lists for
106 # checking incoming messages. The names of these ACLs are defined here:
107
108 acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
109 acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data
110
111 # You should not change those settings until you understand how ACLs work.
112
113
114 # If you are running a version of Exim that was compiled with the content-
115 # scanning extension, you can cause incoming messages to be automatically
116 # scanned for viruses. You have to modify the configuration in two places to
117 # set this up. The first of them is here, where you define the interface to
118 # your scanner. This example is typical for ClamAV; see the manual for details
119 # of what to set for other virus scanners. The second modification is in the
120 # acl_check_data access control list (see below).
121
122 # av_scanner = clamd:/tmp/clamd
123
124
125 # For spam scanning, there is a similar option that defines the interface to
126 # SpamAssassin. You do not need to set this if you are using the default, which
127 # is shown in this commented example. As for virus scanning, you must also
128 # modify the acl_check_data access control list to enable spam scanning.
129
130 # spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783
131
132
133 # If Exim is compiled with support for TLS, you may want to enable the
134 # following options so that Exim allows clients to make encrypted
135 # connections. In the authenticators section below, there are template
136 # configurations for plaintext username/password authentication. This kind
137 # of authentication is only safe when used within a TLS connection, so the
138 # authenticators will only work if the following TLS settings are turned on
139 # as well.

146 # The private key must not be encrypted (password protected). You can put
147 # the certificate and private key in the same file, in which case you only
148 # need the first setting, or in separate files, in which case you need both
149 # options.
150

152 # tls_privatekey = /etc/ssl/exim.pem
153
154 # In order to support roaming users who wish to send email from anywhere,
155 # you may want to make Exim listen on other ports as well as port 25, in
156 # case these users need to send email from a network that blocks port 25.
157 # The standard port for this purpose is port 587, the "message submission"
158 # port. See RFC 4409 for details. Microsoft MUAs cannot be configured to
159 # talk the message submission protocol correctly, so if you need to support
160 # them you should also allow TLS-on-connect on the traditional but
161 # non-standard port 465.

168 # here. An unqualified address is one that does not contain an "@" character
169 # followed by a domain. For example, "caesar@rome.example" is a fully qualified
170 # address, but the string "caesar" (i.e. just a login name) is an unqualified
171 # email address. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
172 # default. See the recipient_unqualified_hosts option if you want to permit
173 # unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is not set, the
174 # primary_hostname value is used for qualification.

186 # The following line must be uncommented if you want Exim to recognize
187 # addresses of the form "user@[10.11.12.13]" that is, with a "domain literal"
188 # (an IP address) instead of a named domain. The RFCs still require this form,
189 # but it makes little sense to permit mail to be sent to specific hosts by
190 # their IP address in the modern Internet. This ancient format has been used
191 # by those seeking to abuse hosts by using them for unwanted relaying. If you
192 # really do want to support domain literals, uncomment the following line, and

200 # error to be logged, and the delivery to be deferred. This is a paranoic
201 # safety catch. There is an even stronger safety catch in the form of the
202 # FIXED_NEVER_USERS setting in the configuration for building Exim. The list of
203 # users that it specifies is built into the binary, and cannot be changed. The
204 # option below just adds additional users to the list. The default for

226 # the timeout that is used. If you set the timeout to zero, all RFC 1413 calls
227 # are disabled. RFC 1413 calls are cheap and can provide useful information
228 # for tracing problem messages, but some hosts and firewalls have problems
229 # with them. This can result in a timeout instead of an immediate refused

285 # "input" instead of all in the same directory. The subdirectories are called

329 # The following section of the ACL is concerned with local parts that contain
330 # @ or % or ! or / or | or dots in unusual places.
331 #
332 # The characters other than dots are rarely found in genuine local parts, but
333 # are often tried by people looking to circumvent relaying restrictions.
334 # Therefore, although they are valid in local parts, these rules lock them
335 # out, as a precaution.
336 #
337 # Empty components (two dots in a row) are not valid in RFC 2822, but Exim
338 # allows them because they have been encountered. (Consider local parts
339 # constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
340 # someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
341 # with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a
342 # file name (e.g. for a mailing list). This is also true for local parts that
343 # contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is
344 # incorporated unthinkingly into a shell command line.
345 #
346 # Two different rules are used. The first one is stricter, and is applied to
347 # messages that are addressed to one of the local domains handled by this
348 # host. The line "domains = +local_domains" restricts it to domains that are
349 # defined by the "domainlist local_domains" setting above. The rule blocks

361 # negating operator. This rule allows your own users to send outgoing

522 # recipient's domain must not be one of those defined by "domainlist
523 # local_domains" above for this router to be used.
524 #
525 # If the router is used, any domain that resolves to 0.0.0.0 or to a loopback
526 # interface address (127.0.0.0/8) is treated as if it had no DNS entry. Note
527 # that 0.0.0.0 is the same as 0.0.0.0/32, which is commonly treated as the
528 # local host inside the network stack. It is not 0.0.0.0/0, the default route.

544 # This router handles aliasing using a linearly searched alias file with the
545 # name SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE. When this configuration is installed automatically,
546 # the name gets inserted into this file from whatever is set in Exim's
547 # build-time configuration. The default path is the traditional /etc/aliases.
548 # If you install this configuration by hand, you need to specify the correct
549 # path in the "data" setting below.
550 #
551 ##### NB You must ensure that the alias file exists. It used to be the case
552 ##### NB that every Unix had that file, because it was the Sendmail default.

556 # If any of your aliases expand to pipes or files, you will need to set
557 # up a user and a group for these deliveries to run under. You can do
558 # this by uncommenting the "user" option below (changing the user name
559 # as appropriate) and adding a "group" option if necessary. Alternatively, you
560 # can specify "user" on the transports that are used. Note that the transports
