| 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. |
| 176 | |
| 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. |
| 184 | |
| 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. |
