3 | # Translators beware! the following six strings form a single | |
4 | # Choices menu. - Every one of these strings has to fit in a standard | |
5 | # 80 characters console, as the fancy screen setup takes up some space | |
6 | # try to keep below ~71 characters. | |
7 | # DO NOT USE commas (,) in Choices translations otherwise | |

9 | __Choices: internet site; mail is sent and received directly using SMTP, mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail, mail sent by smarthost; no local mail, local delivery only; not on a network, no configuration at this time | |
10 | Default: local delivery only; not on a network | |
11 | _Description: General type of mail configuration: | |
12 | Please select the mail server configuration type that best meets your needs. | |
13 | . | |
14 | Systems with dynamic IP addresses, including dialup systems, should generally | |
15 | be configured to send outgoing mail to another machine, called a 'smarthost' | |
16 | for delivery because many receiving systems on the Internet block | |
17 | incoming mail from dynamic IP addresses as spam protection. | |
18 | . | |
19 | A system with a dynamic IP address can receive its own mail, or local | |
20 | delivery can be disabled entirely (except mail for root and postmaster). | |
21 | ||
22 | Template: exim4/no_config | |
23 | Type: boolean | |
24 | Default: true | |
25 | _Description: Really leave the mail system unconfigured? | |
26 | Until the mail system is configured, it will be broken and cannot be | |
27 | used. Configuration at a later time can be done either by hand or by | |
28 | running 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' as root. | |
29 | ||
30 | Template: exim4/mailname | |
31 | Type: string | |
32 | _Description: System mail name: | |
33 | The 'mail name' is the domain name used to 'qualify' mail addresses | |
34 | without a domain name. | |
35 | . | |
36 | This name will also be used by other programs. It should be the | |
37 | single, fully qualified domain name (FQDN). | |
38 | . | |
39 | Thus, if a mail address on the local host is foo@example.org, | |
40 | the correct value for this option would be example.org. | |
41 | . | |
42 | This name won't appear on From: lines of outgoing messages if rewriting | |
43 | is enabled. | |
44 | ||
45 | Template: exim4/dc_other_hostnames | |
46 | Type: string | |
47 | Default: | |
48 | _Description: Other destinations for which mail is accepted: | |
49 | Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains for | |
50 | which this machine should consider itself the final destination. | |
51 | These domains are commonly called 'local domains'. The local hostname | |
52 | (${fqdn}) and 'localhost' are always added to the list given here. | |
53 | . | |
54 | By default all local domains will be treated identically. If both | |
55 | a.example and b.example are local domains, acc@a.example and | |
56 | acc@b.example will be delivered to the same final destination. If | |
57 | different domain names should be treated differently, it is | |
58 | necessary to edit the config files afterwards. | |
59 | ||
60 | Template: exim4/dc_relay_domains | |
61 | Type: string | |
62 | Default: | |
63 | _Description: Domains to relay mail for: | |
64 | Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains for | |
65 | which this system will relay mail, for example as a fallback MX or | |
66 | mail gateway. This means that this system will accept mail for these | |
67 | domains from anywhere on the Internet and deliver them according to | |
68 | local delivery rules. | |
69 | . | |
70 | Do not mention local domains here. Wildcards may be used. | |
71 | ||
72 | Template: exim4/dc_relay_nets | |
73 | Type: string | |
74 | Default: | |
75 | _Description: Machines to relay mail for: | |
76 | Please enter a semicolon-separated list of IP address ranges for | |
77 | which this system will unconditionally relay mail, functioning as a | |
78 | smarthost. | |
79 | . | |
80 | You should use the standard address/prefix format (e.g. 194.222.242.0/24 | |
81 | or 5f03:1200:836f::/48). | |
82 | . | |
83 | If this system should not be a smarthost for any other host, leave | |
84 | this list blank. | |
85 | ||
86 | Template: exim4/dc_readhost | |
87 | Type: string | |
88 | _Description: Visible domain name for local users: | |
89 | The option to hide the local mail name in outgoing mail was enabled. | |
90 | It is therefore necessary to specify the domain name this system | |
91 | should use for the domain part of local users' sender addresses. | |
92 | ||
93 | Template: exim4/dc_smarthost | |
94 | Type: string | |
95 | _Description: IP address or host name of the outgoing smarthost: | |
96 | Please enter the IP address or the host name of a mail server that | |
97 | this system should use as outgoing smarthost. If the smarthost only | |
98 | accepts your mail on a port different from TCP/25, append two colons | |
99 | and the port number (for example smarthost.example::587 or | |
100 | 192.168.254.254::2525). Colons in IPv6 addresses need to be doubled. | |
101 | . | |
102 | If the smarthost requires authentication, please refer to | |
103 | the Debian-specific README files in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base for | |
104 | notes about setting up SMTP authentication. | |
105 | ||
106 | Template: exim4/dc_postmaster | |
107 | Type: string | |
108 | _Description: Root and postmaster mail recipient: | |
109 | Mail for the 'postmaster', 'root', and other system accounts needs to | |
110 | be redirected to the user account of the actual system administrator. | |
111 | . | |
112 | If this value is left empty, such mail will be saved in /var/mail/mail, | |
113 | which is not recommended. | |
114 | . | |
115 | Note that postmaster's mail should be read on the system to which it is | |
116 | directed, rather than being forwarded elsewhere, so (at least one of) | |
117 | the users listed here should not redirect their mail off this machine. | |
118 | A 'real-' prefix can be used to force local delivery. | |
119 | . | |
120 | Multiple user names need to be separated by spaces. | |
121 | ||
122 | Template: exim4/dc_local_interfaces | |
123 | Type: string | |
124 | Default: notset | |
125 | _Description: IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections: | |
126 | Please enter a semicolon-separated list of IP addresses. The Exim SMTP | |
127 | listener daemon will listen on all IP addresses listed here. | |
128 | . | |
129 | An empty value will cause Exim to listen for connections on all | |
130 | available network interfaces. | |
131 | . | |
132 | If this system only receives mail directly from local services | |
133 | (and not from other hosts), it is suggested to prohibit external | |
134 | connections to the local Exim daemon. Such services include e-mail | |
135 | programs (MUAs) which talk to localhost only as well as fetchmail. | |
136 | External connections are impossible when 127.0.0.1 is entered here, | |
137 | as this will disable listening on public network interfaces. | |
138 | ||
139 | Template: exim4/dc_minimaldns | |
140 | Type: boolean | |
141 | Default: false | |
142 | _Description: Keep number of DNS-queries minimal (Dial-on-Demand)? | |
143 | In normal mode of operation Exim does DNS lookups at startup, and when | |
144 | receiving or delivering messages. This is for logging purposes and | |
145 | allows keeping down the number of hard-coded values in the | |
146 | configuration. | |
147 | . | |
148 | If this system does not have a DNS full service resolver available at | |
149 | all times (for example if its Internet access is a dial-up line using | |
150 | dial-on-demand), this might have unwanted consequences. For example, | |
151 | starting up Exim or running the queue (even with no messages waiting) | |
152 | might trigger a costly dial-up-event. | |
153 | . | |
154 | This option should be selected if this system is using Dial-on-Demand. | |
155 | If it has always-on Internet access, this option should be disabled. | |

161 | Template: exim4/use_split_config | |
162 | Type: boolean | |
163 | _Description: Split configuration into small files? | |
164 | The Debian exim4 packages can either use 'unsplit configuration', a | |
165 | single monolithic file (/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template) or 'split | |
166 | configuration', where the actual Exim configuration files are built | |
167 | from about 50 smaller files in /etc/exim4/conf.d/. | |
168 | . | |
169 | Unsplit configuration is better suited for large modifications and is | |
170 | generally more stable, whereas split configuration offers a comfortable | |
171 | way to make smaller modifications but is more fragile and might break | |
172 | if modified carelessly. | |
173 | . | |
174 | A more detailed discussion of split and unsplit configuration can be | |
175 | found in the Debian-specific README files in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base. | |

177 | Template: exim4/hide_mailname | |
178 | Type: boolean | |
179 | _Description: Hide local mail name in outgoing mail? | |
180 | The headers of outgoing mail can be rewritten to make it appear to have been | |
181 | generated on a different system. If this option is chosen, | |
182 | '${mailname}', 'localhost' and '${dc_other_hostnames}' in From, Reply-To, | |
183 | Sender and Return-Path are rewritten. | |

185 | Template: exim4/dc_localdelivery | |
186 | Type: select | |
187 | __Choices: mbox format in /var/mail/, Maildir format in home directory | |
188 | Default: mbox format in /var/mail/ | |
189 | _Description: Delivery method for local mail: | |
190 | Exim is able to store locally delivered email in different formats. | |
191 | The most commonly used ones are mbox and Maildir. mbox uses a single | |
192 | file for the complete mail folder stored in /var/mail/. With Maildir | |
193 | format every single message is stored in a separate file in ~/Maildir/. | |
194 | . | |
195 | Please note that most mail tools in Debian expect the local delivery | |
196 | method to be mbox in their default. |
