Please note that this does not configure +the mail server to send to (this is determined in Debconf), but only +creates the correlation between host name and authentication +credentials to avoid exposing passwords to the wrong host. + +Please note that target.mail.server.example is currently the value +that exim can read from reverse DNS: It first follows the host name of +the target system until it finds an IP address, and then looks up the +reverse DNS for that IP address to use the outcome of this query (or +the IP address itself should the query fail) as index into +/etc/exim4/passwd.client. + +This goes inevitably wrong if the host name of the mail server is a +CNAME (a DNS alias), or the reverse lookup does not fit the forward one. + +Currently, you need to manually lookup all reverse DNS names for all +IP addresses that your SMTP server host name points to, for example by +using the host command. If the SMTP smarthost alias expands to +multiple IPs, you need to have multiple lines for all the hosts. When +your ISP changes the alias, you will need to manually fix that. + +You may minimize this trouble by using a wild card entry or regular +expressions, thus reducing the risk of divulging the password to the +wrong SMTP server while reducing the number of necessary lines. For a +deeper discussion, see the Debian BTS #244724. + +password is your SMTP password in clear text. If you do not know about +your SMTP password, you can try using your POP3 password as a first +guess. + +This file must be readable for the Debian\-exim user and should not be +readable for others.

If the remote port is not the standard one (port 25), it is +added to the IP address. +Then there follows an error code, an additional error code, and a +textual description of the error. + +The three times on the second line are the time of first failure, the time of +the last delivery attempt, and the computed time for the next attempt. +The line ends with an asterisk if the cutoff time for the last retry rule +has been exceeded. + +Each output line from +.B exim_dumpdb +for the +.I wait\-xxx +databases consists of a host name followed by a list of ids for messages +that are or were waiting to be delivered to that host. +If there are a very large number for any one host, continuation records, +with a sequence number added to the host name, may be seen. +The data in these records is often out of date, because a message may be +routed to several alternative hosts, and Exim makes no effort to keep +cross-references. + +The +.B exim_tidydb +utility program is used to tidy up the contents of a hints database. +If run with no options, it removes all records that are more than 30 days +old. The age is calculated from the date and time that the record was last +updated. Note that, in the case of the retry database, it is not the time +since the first delivery failure. Information about a host that has been +down for more than 30 days will remain in the database, provided that the +record is updated sufficiently often. + +The cutoff date can be altered by means of the \-t option, which must be +followed by a time. +For example, to remove all records older than a week from the retry +database: + +.I exim_tidydb \-t 7d /var/spool/exim4 retry + +Both the +.I wait\-xxx +and +.I retry +databases contain items that involve message ids. +In the former these appear as data in records keyed by host - they were +messages that were waiting for that host - and in the latter they are the +keys for retry information for messages that have suffered certain types +of error. +When \(lqexim_tidydb\(rq is run, a check is made to ensure that message ids in +database records are those of messages that are still on the queue. +Message ids for messages that no longer exist are removed from \(lqwait\-\(rqxxx +records, and if this leaves any records empty, they are deleted. +For the \(lqretry\(rq database, records whose keys are non-existent message +ids are removed. +The +.B exim_tidydb +utility outputs comments on the standard output whenever it removes +information from the database. + +Certain records are automatically removed by Exim when they are no longer +needed, but others are not. For example, if all the MX hosts for a domain +are down, a retry record is created for each one. If the primary MX host +comes back first, its record is removed when Exim successfully delivers to +it, but the records for the others remain because Exim has not tried to use +those hosts. + +It is important, therefore, to run \(lqexim_tidydb\(rq periodically on all +the hints databases. You should do this at a quiet time of day, because it +requires a database to be locked (and therefore inaccessible to Exim) while +it does its work. Removing records from a DBM file does not normally make +the file smaller, but all the common DBM libraries are able to re-use the +space that is released. After an initial phase of increasing in size, the +databases normally reach a point at which they no longer get any bigger, as +long as they are regularly tidied. + +Warning: If you never run \(lqexim_tidydb\(rq, the space used by the hints +databases is likely to keep on increasing. + +The +.B exim_fixdb +program is a utility for interactively modifying databases. +Its main use is for testing Exim, but it might also be occasionally useful +for getting round problems in a live system. +It has no options, and its interface is somewhat crude. +On entry, it prompts for input with a right angle-bracket. +A key of a database record can then be entered, and the data for that +record is displayed. + +If \(oqd\(cq is typed at the next prompt, the entire record is deleted. +For all except the +.I retry +database, that is the only operation that can be carried out. +For the +.I retry +database, each field is output preceded by a number, and data for individual +fields can be changed by typing the field number followed by new data, for +example: + + > 4 951102:1000 + +resets the time of the next delivery attempt. +Time values are given as a sequence of digit pairs for year, month, day, +hour, and minute. +Colons can be used as optional separators. + +.SH BUGS +This manual page needs a major re-work.

Within each directory it takes +files in lexical sort order by file name. It concatenates all these files +and makes the debconf replacement described below. + +If you are not using split configuration +.B update\-exim4.conf +concatenates +/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros +(if this file exists) and /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template (in this order) and +makes the debconf replacement described below. + +In either case, before outputting the result +to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated, +.B update\-exim4.conf +generates a number of exim configuration macros from the contents of +dc_something from /etc/exim4/update\-exim4.conf.conf and inserts them +into the configuration right after the definition of the exim +configuration macro UPEX4CmacrosUPEX4C (which is only used as +placeholder for this case). The macro definitions are bracketed +with .ifdef clauses to allow the local admin to override the values with +earlier definitions. +.B update\-exim4.conf +makes no other changes to the configuration. +This makes it very simple to make small changes to the configuration and +still have the benefits of debconf. + +On the other hand if you don't want to manage exim4.conf with debconf +install your own handcrafted version as /etc/exim4/exim4.conf. +Exim will use this file if it exists and ignore the autogenerated one. +Additionally you might want to set +.I dc_eximconfig_configtype=none +in /etc/exim4/update\-exim4.conf.conf to stop debconf from asking you questions about exim4. + +.B update\-exim4.conf +exits silently and does nothing if /etc/exim4/exim4.conf exists and \-o +was not used to direct the output to a different file than +/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated. + +.B update\-exim4.conf +will only use files in the conf.d directory that have a filename which +consists only of letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens +([:alnum:]_\-), similar to +.B run\-parts(8). +Additionally, +.B update\-exim4.conf +will use /etc/exim4/conf.d/foo/bar.rul instead of +/etc/exim4/conf.d/foo/bar if the .rul file exists. This is meant to be +helpful for easy interaction with packages extending Exim. + +If the new configuration will be written to +/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated, +.B update\-exim4.conf +will check the validity of the freshly generated configuration. If +the new file is detected as invalid, update-exim4.conf leaves the old +/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated untouched and exits with an error. + +However, there are still possible invalidities that can only be +detected at run time. This most notably applies to errors in +expressions that are expanded at run time. + +If the new configuration will be written to some other file, no +validity checking occurs and that file will always be overwritten. + +.SH EXAMPLES +You want to be able to check exim's queue as normal user: Generate a new +file, e.g. /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/40_local_mailq, containing only the line +.I queue_list_requires_admin = false + +.SH NOTES +.B update\-exim4.conf +changes the file permissions of the output file to the value of the environment +variable CFILEMODE. If CFILEMODE is neither set in +/etc/exim4/update\-exim4.conf.conf nor in the environment it defaults to 0644. +Change this to 0640 if you are keeping sensitive information (LDAP credentials +et. al.) in there. + +.SH CONFIGURATION VARIABLES +All lists given in configuration variables are semicolon-separated. In +the past, they used to be colon separated. This was changed to +semicolon separation to make specification of IPv6 addresses easier. +Backwards compatibility is preserved, so that old configurations using +colons as separators do still work. Colons are deprecated and might +stop working in a later release. If you need to specify a single IPv6 +address in a field that is defined as a list of host names or IP +addresses, please prefix "<;" to explicitly specify the list separator +as a semicolon. Otherwise, the code cannot tell an IP address from a +colon-separated list of strange host names. + +Using lookups like "dsearch;something" in update-exim4.conf.conf has +never been supported and does no longer work!
