###################################################################### # Runtime configuration file for Exim # ###################################################################### # This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in # uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list # of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a # configuration file. There are many more than are mentioned here. The # manual is in the file doc/spec.txt in the Exim distribution as a plain # ASCII file. Other formats (PostScript, Texinfo, HTML, PDF) are available # from the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online at the Exim website. # This file is divided into several parts, all but the first of which are # headed by a line starting with the word "begin". Only those parts that # are required need to be present. Blank lines, and lines starting with # # are ignored. ########### IMPORTANT ########## IMPORTANT ########### IMPORTANT ########### # # # Whenever you change Exim's configuration file, you *must* remember to # # HUP the Exim daemon, because it will not pick up the new configuration # # until you do. However, any other Exim processes that are started, for # # example, a process started by an MUA in order to send a message, will # # see the new configuration as soon as it is in place. # # # # You do not need to HUP the daemon for changes in auxiliary files that # # are referenced from this file. They are read every time they are used. # # # # It is usually a good idea to test a new configuration for syntactic # # correctness before installing it (for example, by running the command # # "exim -C /config/file.new -bV"). # # # ########### IMPORTANT ########## IMPORTANT ########### IMPORTANT ########### ###################################################################### # MACROS # ###################################################################### # # If you want to use a smarthost instead of sending directly to recipient # domains, uncomment this macro definition and set a real hostname. # An appropriately privileged user can then redirect email on the command-line # in emergencies, via -D. # # ROUTER_SMARTHOST=MAIL.HOSTNAME.FOR.CENTRAL.SERVER.EXAMPLE ###################################################################### # MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS # ###################################################################### # # Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully # qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the # uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases this does # the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly. # primary_hostname = # The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts. # These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax # +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They # are all colon-separated lists: domainlist local_domains = @ domainlist relay_to_domains = hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost # (We rely upon hostname resolution working for localhost, because the default # uncommented configuration needs to work in IPv4-only environments.) # Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by # appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations, # you may need to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) which appear later in # this file. # The first setting specifies your local domains, for example: # # domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain # # You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default # setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname, # as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local # deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail # addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to # "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains # list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not # recommended for today's Internet. # The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay. # If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However, # if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you # must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example: # # domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org # # This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains. # See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more # information. # The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay # to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a # complete local network as well as the localhost. For example: # # hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 192.168.0.0/16 # # The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you # have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send # SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of # sending mail. Often, connections are made to "localhost", which might be ::1 # on IPv6-enabled hosts. Do not forget CIDR for your IPv6 networks. # All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item, including # wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference # manual for details. The lists above are used in the access control lists for # checking incoming messages. The names of these ACLs are defined here: acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt .ifdef _HAVE_PRDR acl_smtp_data_prdr = acl_check_prdr .endif acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data # You should not change those settings until you understand how ACLs work. # If you are running a version of Exim that was compiled with the content- # scanning extension, you can cause incoming messages to be automatically # scanned for viruses. You have to modify the configuration in two places to # set this up. The first of them is here, where you define the interface to # your scanner. This example is typical for ClamAV; see the manual for details # of what to set for other virus scanners. The second modification is in the # acl_check_data access control list (see below). # av_scanner = clamd:/tmp/clamd # For spam scanning, there is a similar option that defines the interface to # SpamAssassin. You do not need to set this if you are using the default, which # is shown in this commented example. As for virus scanning, you must also # modify the acl_check_data access control list to enable spam scanning. # spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783 # If Exim is compiled with support for TLS, you may want to enable the # following options so that Exim allows clients to make encrypted # connections. In the authenticators section below, there are template # configurations for plaintext username/password authentication. This kind # of authentication is only safe when used within a TLS connection, so the # authenticators will only work if the following TLS settings are turned on # as well. # Allow any client to use TLS. # tls_advertise_hosts = * # Specify the location of the Exim server's TLS certificate and private key. # The private key must not be encrypted (password protected). You can put # the certificate and private key in the same file, in which case you only # need the first setting, or in separate files, in which case you need both # options. # tls_certificate = /etc/ssl/exim.crt # tls_privatekey = /etc/ssl/exim.pem # For OpenSSL, prefer EC- over RSA-authenticated ciphers # tls_require_ciphers = ECDSA:RSA:!COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT # In order to support roaming users who wish to send email from anywhere, # you may want to make Exim listen on other ports as well as port 25, in # case these users need to send email from a network that blocks port 25. # The standard port for this purpose is port 587, the "message submission" # port. See RFC 4409 for details. Microsoft MUAs cannot be configured to # talk the message submission protocol correctly, so if you need to support # them you should also allow TLS-on-connect on the traditional but # non-standard port 465. # daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 465 : 587 # tls_on_connect_ports = 465 # Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses # here. An unqualified address is one that does not contain an "@" character # followed by a domain. For example, "caesar@rome.example" is a fully qualified # address, but the string "caesar" (i.e. just a login name) is an unqualified # email address. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by # default. See the recipient_unqualified_hosts option if you want to permit # unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is not set, the # primary_hostname value is used for qualification. # qualify_domain = # If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be qualified with a different # domain to unqualified sender addresses, specify the recipient domain here. # If this option is not set, the qualify_domain value is used. # qualify_recipient = # The following line must be uncommented if you want Exim to recognize # addresses of the form "user@[10.11.12.13]" that is, with a "domain literal" # (an IP address) instead of a named domain. The RFCs still require this form, # but it makes little sense to permit mail to be sent to specific hosts by # their IP address in the modern Internet. This ancient format has been used # by those seeking to abuse hosts by using them for unwanted relaying. If you # really do want to support domain literals, uncomment the following line, and # see also the "domain_literal" router below. # allow_domain_literals # No deliveries will ever be run under the uids of users specified by # never_users (a colon-separated list). An attempt to do so causes a panic # error to be logged, and the delivery to be deferred. This is a paranoic # safety catch. There is an even stronger safety catch in the form of the # FIXED_NEVER_USERS setting in the configuration for building Exim. The list of # users that it specifies is built into the binary, and cannot be changed. The # option below just adds additional users to the list. The default for # FIXED_NEVER_USERS is "root", but just to be absolutely sure, the default here # is also "root". # Note that the default setting means you cannot deliver mail addressed to root # as if it were a normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have # an alias for root that redirects such mail to a human administrator. never_users = root # The setting below causes Exim to do a reverse DNS lookup on all incoming # IP calls, in order to get the true host name. If you feel this is too # expensive, you can specify the networks for which a lookup is done, or # remove the setting entirely. host_lookup = * # The setting below causes Exim to try to initialize the system resolver # library with DNSSEC support.

You can limit the hosts to which these # calls are made, and/or change the timeout that is used. If you set # the timeout to zero, all RFC 1413 calls are disabled. RFC 1413 calls # are cheap and can provide useful information for tracing problem # messages, but some hosts and firewalls have problems with them. # This can result in a timeout instead of an immediate refused # connection, leading to delays on starting up SMTP sessions. # (The default was reduced from 30s to 5s for release 4.61. and to # disabled for release 4.86) # #rfc1413_hosts = * #rfc1413_query_timeout = 5s # Enable an efficiency feature.

When this is done, # unqualified addresses are qualified using the settings of qualify_domain # and/or qualify_recipient (see above). # Unless you run a high-volume site you probably want more logging # detail than the default. Adjust to suit. log_selector = +smtp_protocol_error +smtp_syntax_error \ +tls_certificate_verified # If you want Exim to support the "percent hack" for certain domains, # uncomment the following line and provide a list of domains. The "percent # hack" is the feature by which mail addressed to x%y@z (where z is one of # the domains listed) is locally rerouted to x@y and sent on.

Exim works best when its queue is kept short, but # there are circumstances where this is not always possible. If you uncomment # the setting below, messages on the queue are held in 62 subdirectories of # "input" instead of all in the same directory. The subdirectories are called # 0, 1, ... A, B, ... a, b, ... z. This has two benefits: (1) If your file # system degrades with many files in one directory, this is less likely to # happen; (2) Exim can process the queue one subdirectory at a time instead of # all at once, which can give better performance with large queues. # split_spool_directory = true # If you're in a part of the world where ASCII is not sufficient for most # text, then you're probably familiar with RFC2047 message header extensions. # By default, Exim adheres to the specification, including a limit of 76 # characters to a line, with encoded words fitting within a line. # If you wish to use decoded headers in message filters in such a way # that successful decoding of malformed messages matters, you may wish to # configure Exim to be more lenient. # # check_rfc2047_length = false # # In particular, the Exim maintainers have had multiple reports of problems # from Russian administrators of issues until they disable this check, # because of some popular, yet buggy, mail composition software. # If you wish to be strictly RFC compliant, or if you know you'll be # exchanging email with systems that are not 8-bit clean, then you may # wish to disable advertising 8BITMIME.

(Consider local parts # constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to # someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting # with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a # file name (e.g. for a mailing list).

A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is # incorporated unthinkingly into a shell command line. # # Two different rules are used.

See the global configuration options section at the start # of this file for more about TLS. # # The default RCPT ACL checks for successful authentication, and will accept # messages from authenticated users from anywhere on the Internet. begin authenticators # PLAIN authentication has no server prompts. The client sends its # credentials in one lump, containing an authorization ID (which we do not # use), an authentication ID, and a password. The latter two appear as # $auth2 and $auth3 in the configuration and should be checked against a # valid username and password. In a real configuration you would typically # use $auth2 as a lookup key, and compare $auth3 against the result of the # lookup, perhaps using the crypteq{}{} condition. #PLAIN: # driver = plaintext # server_set_id = $auth2 # server_prompts = : # server_condition = Authentication is not yet configured # server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_in_cipher } # LOGIN authentication has traditional prompts and responses. There is no # authorization ID in this mechanism, so unlike PLAIN the username and # password are $auth1 and $auth2. Apart from that you can use the same # server_condition setting for both authenticators. #LOGIN: # driver = plaintext # server_set_id = $auth1 # server_prompts = <| Username: | Password: # server_condition = Authentication is not yet configured # server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_in_cipher } ###################################################################### # CONFIGURATION FOR local_scan() # ###################################################################### # If you have built Exim to include a local_scan() function that contains # tables for private options, you can define those options here.
