6# This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in
7# uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list
8# of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a
9# configuration file. There are many more than are mentioned here. The
10# manual is in the file doc/spec.txt in the Exim distribution as a plain
11# ASCII file. Other formats (PostScript, Texinfo, HTML, PDF) are available
2ea97746 12# from the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online at the Exim website.

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

57# Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully
58# qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the
59# uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases this does
60# the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.
61
62# primary_hostname =
63
64
65# The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts.
66# These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
67# +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
68# are all colon-separated lists:
69
70domainlist local_domains = @
71domainlist relay_to_domains =
72hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost
73# (We rely upon hostname resolution working for localhost, because the default
74# uncommented configuration needs to work in IPv4-only environments.)
75
76# Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
77# appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations,
78# you may need to modify the Access Control Lists (ACLs) which appear later in
79# this file.
80
81# The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
82#
83# domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
84#
85# You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
86# setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
87# as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
88# deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
89# addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
90# "user@[192.168.23.44]", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
91# list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
92# recommended for today's Internet.
93
94# The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
95# If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
96# if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
97# must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
98#
99# domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
100#
101# This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
102# See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
103# information.
104
105# The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
106# to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
107# complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
108#
109# hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 192.168.0.0/16
110#
111# The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
112# have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
113# SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
114# sending mail. Often, connections are made to "localhost", which might be ::1
115# on IPv6-enabled hosts. Do not forget CIDR for your IPv6 networks.
116
117# All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item, including
118# wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference
119# manual for details. The lists above are used in the access control lists for
120# checking incoming messages. The names of these ACLs are defined here:

131# If you are running a version of Exim that was compiled with the content-
132# scanning extension, you can cause incoming messages to be automatically
133# scanned for viruses. You have to modify the configuration in two places to
134# set this up. The first of them is here, where you define the interface to
135# your scanner. This example is typical for ClamAV; see the manual for details
136# of what to set for other virus scanners. The second modification is in the
137# acl_check_data access control list (see below).
138
139# av_scanner = clamd:/tmp/clamd
140
141
142# For spam scanning, there is a similar option that defines the interface to
143# SpamAssassin. You do not need to set this if you are using the default, which
144# is shown in this commented example. As for virus scanning, you must also
145# modify the acl_check_data access control list to enable spam scanning.

178# port. See RFC 4409 for details. Microsoft MUAs cannot be configured to

392 # The following section of the ACL is concerned with local parts that contain
393 # @ or % or ! or / or | or dots in unusual places.

395 # The characters other than dots are rarely found in genuine local parts, but
396 # are often tried by people looking to circumvent relaying restrictions.
397 # Therefore, although they are valid in local parts, these rules lock them
398 # out, as a precaution.

400 # Empty components (two dots in a row) are not valid in RFC 2822, but Exim
401 # allows them because they have been encountered. (Consider local parts
402 # constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
403 # someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
404 # with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a
405 # file name (e.g. for a mailing list). This is also true for local parts that
406 # contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is
407 # incorporated unthinkingly into a shell command line.
408 #
409 # Two different rules are used. The first one is stricter, and is applied to
410 # messages that are addressed to one of the local domains handled by this
411 # host. The line "domains = +local_domains" restricts it to domains that are
412 # defined by the "domainlist local_domains" setting above. The rule blocks

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