Those that can appear in the run time configuration file; + 2. Those that can be used on the command line; + 3. Those that can appear in the build time configuration (Local/Makefile); + 4. Those that can appear in the build time configuration for the Exim monitor + (Local/eximon.conf). + +This file was last updated for Exim release 4.72. + + +1. RUN TIME OPTIONS +------------------- + +As Exim has developed, new options have been added at each major release. For +the most part, backwards compatibility has been maintained, and obsolete +options continue to be recognized. However, incompatible changes took place at +releases 3.00, and 4.00. In both cases, several groups of options were +amalgamated into new, extended options, and obsolete options were removed. + +The table below contains a complete list of all Exim's current options, along +with their types, default values, and where they can be used. String options +that are expanded before use are marked with *. Host lists, domain lists, and +address lists are always expanded. In some cases the defaults are not fixed +values, or not short enough to fit in the table. These are indicated by +. Some +other default values are determined when the Exim binary is compiled; these are +indicated by ++. + +For options that are specific to a particular driver, the fourth column +contains the driver name, for example, appendfile. Otherwise, it contains + + . `main' for options that appear in the main section of Exim's configuration + file; + + . `authenticators' for generic options that apply to any authenticator; + + . `routers' for generic options that apply to any router; + + . `transports' for generic options that apply to any transport. + +The fifth column contains the version of Exim in which the option was added, or +substantially changed. Where no number is given, the option has been in Exim +since the very early releases. The routers were completely reorganised for +release 4.00, and so no router options are shown as earlier than 4.00, though +in fact some of them were inherited from earlier versions. +

BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM +------------------------------ + +The table below contains a "mostly" complete list of options that can be +set in Local/Makefile when building Exim. The only items not included are +those whose names can be trivially derived from rules stated below. + +More information about individual options can be found in src/EDITME and +OS/Makefile-Default. + +The second column below gives the type of option: + + . `system' means the option is concerned with the operating system; + + . `driver' means the option selects a driver to be included in the binary; + + . `lookup' means the option selects a lookuptype to be included in the binary; + + . `mandatory' means the option is required to be supplied; + + . `recommended' means the option is recommended to be supplied; + + . `optional' means what it says; + +Those marked with * are specialized and are unlikely to be required in most +installations. Those that are marked with ** are commonly set in OS-specific +Makefiles. If you use any of these in your Local/Makefile, you may need to +reproduce some of the OS-specific settings. For example, in the Makefile for +Solaris (which is actually called OS/Makefile-SunOS5), there is + + LIBS=-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat + +If you use LIBS to add extra libraries, you must also include the OS ones in +your setting. It is better, in this particular case, to use EXTRALIBS, which is +empty by default, and is provided for just this reason. Of course, if you do +actually want to modify a setting from the OS-specific file, there is nothing +to stop you overriding it in your Local/Makefile. + +When building Exim with dynamically loaded lookup support, for "LOOKUP_FOO", +you can define "LOOKUP_FOO_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_FOO_LIBS", for includes and +libraries specific only to that module. These rules are only used where the +relevant lookup is a module. These options are not explicitly listed below. + +Variables with names endined `_PC' are used for pkg-config integration; setting +the value to the name of a pkg-config package will cause Exim's build system to +query the --cflags and --libs for the given name, when building anything +dependent upon the component associated with the `_PC' variable. For lookups, +if the lookup is dynamically loaded, then this *replaces* the use of the +corresponding _INCLUDE and _LIBS options, which will be ignored. If the lookup +is statically loaded into Exim, the results will be inserted into the +"LOOKUP_INCLUDE" and "LOOKUP_LIBS" options. For authenticator, the results +will be inserted into the "CFLAGS" and "AUTH_LIBS" options. These options are +only listed below for the TLS implementation cases. + + +Option Type Description +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX
