+# Translators beware! the following six strings form a single
+# Choices menu. - Every one of these strings has to fit in a standard

+# try to keep below ~71 characters.

+# this will break the choices shown to users
+__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
+Default: local delivery only; not on a network
+_Description: General type of mail configuration:
+ Please select the mail server configuration type that best meets your needs.
+ .
+ Systems with dynamic IP addresses, including dialup systems, should generally
+ be configured to send outgoing mail to another machine, called a 'smarthost'
+ for delivery because many receiving systems on the Internet block
+ incoming mail from dynamic IP addresses as spam protection.
+ .
+ A system with a dynamic IP address can receive its own mail, or local
+ delivery can be disabled entirely (except mail for root and postmaster).
+
+Template: exim4/no_config
+Type: boolean
+Default: true
+_Description: Really leave the mail system unconfigured?
+ Until the mail system is configured, it will be broken and cannot be
+ used. Configuration at a later time can be done either by hand or by
+ running 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' as root.
+
+Template: exim4/mailname
+Type: string
+_Description: System mail name:
+ The 'mail name' is the domain name used to 'qualify' mail addresses
+ without a domain name.
+ .
+ This name will also be used by other programs. It should be the
+ single, fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
+ .
+ Thus, if a mail address on the local host is foo@example.org,
+ the correct value for this option would be example.org.
+ .
+ This name won't appear on From: lines of outgoing messages if rewriting
+ is enabled.
+
+Template: exim4/dc_other_hostnames
+Type: string
+Default:
+_Description: Other destinations for which mail is accepted:
+ Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains for
+ which this machine should consider itself the final destination.
+ These domains are commonly called 'local domains'. The local hostname
+ (${fqdn}) and 'localhost' are always added to the list given here.
+ .
+ By default all local domains will be treated identically. If both
+ a.example and b.example are local domains, acc@a.example and
+ acc@b.example will be delivered to the same final destination. If
+ different domain names should be treated differently, it is
+ necessary to edit the config files afterwards.
+
+Template: exim4/dc_relay_domains
+Type: string
+Default:
+_Description: Domains to relay mail for:
+ Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains for
+ which this system will relay mail, for example as a fallback MX or
+ mail gateway. This means that this system will accept mail for these
+ domains from anywhere on the Internet and deliver them according to
+ local delivery rules.
+ .
+ Do not mention local domains here. Wildcards may be used.
+
+Template: exim4/dc_relay_nets
+Type: string
+Default:
+_Description: Machines to relay mail for:
+ Please enter a semicolon-separated list of IP address ranges for
+ which this system will unconditionally relay mail, functioning as a
+ smarthost.
+ .
+ You should use the standard address/prefix format (e.g. 194.222.242.0/24
+ or 5f03:1200:836f::/48).
+ .
+ If this system should not be a smarthost for any other host, leave
+ this list blank.
+
+Template: exim4/dc_readhost
+Type: string
+_Description: Visible domain name for local users:
+ The option to hide the local mail name in outgoing mail was enabled.
+ It is therefore necessary to specify the domain name this system
+ should use for the domain part of local users' sender addresses.
+
+Template: exim4/dc_smarthost
+Type: string
+_Description: IP address or host name of the outgoing smarthost:
+ Please enter the IP address or the host name of a mail server that
+ this system should use as outgoing smarthost. If the smarthost only
+ accepts your mail on a port different from TCP/25, append two colons
+ and the port number (for example smarthost.example::587 or
+ 192.168.254.254::2525). Colons in IPv6 addresses need to be doubled.
+ .
+ If the smarthost requires authentication, please refer to
+ the Debian-specific README files in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base for
+ notes about setting up SMTP authentication.
+
+Template: exim4/dc_postmaster
+Type: string
+_Description: Root and postmaster mail recipient:
+ Mail for the 'postmaster', 'root', and other system accounts needs to
+ be redirected to the user account of the actual system administrator.
+ .
+ If this value is left empty, such mail will be saved in /var/mail/mail,
+ which is not recommended.
+ .
+ Note that postmaster's mail should be read on the system to which it is
+ directed, rather than being forwarded elsewhere, so (at least one of)
+ the users listed here should not redirect their mail off this machine.
+ A 'real-' prefix can be used to force local delivery.
+ .
+ Multiple user names need to be separated by spaces.
+
+Template: exim4/dc_local_interfaces
+Type: string
+Default: notset
+_Description: IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections:
+ Please enter a semicolon-separated list of IP addresses. The Exim SMTP
+ listener daemon will listen on all IP addresses listed here.
+ .
+ An empty value will cause Exim to listen for connections on all
+ available network interfaces.
+ .
+ If this system only receives mail directly from local services
+ (and not from other hosts), it is suggested to prohibit external
+ connections to the local Exim daemon. Such services include e-mail
+ programs (MUAs) which talk to localhost only as well as fetchmail.
+ External connections are impossible when 127.0.0.1 is entered here,
+ as this will disable listening on public network interfaces.
+
+Template: exim4/dc_minimaldns
+Type: boolean
+Default: false
+_Description: Keep number of DNS-queries minimal (Dial-on-Demand)?
+ In normal mode of operation Exim does DNS lookups at startup, and when
+ receiving or delivering messages. This is for logging purposes and
+ allows keeping down the number of hard-coded values in the
+ configuration.
+ .
+ If this system does not have a DNS full service resolver available at
+ all times (for example if its Internet access is a dial-up line using
+ dial-on-demand), this might have unwanted consequences. For example,
+ starting up Exim or running the queue (even with no messages waiting)
+ might trigger a costly dial-up-event.
+ .
+ This option should be selected if this system is using Dial-on-Demand.
+ If it has always-on Internet access, this option should be disabled.
+
+Template: exim4/exim4-config-title
+Type: title
+_Description: Mail Server configuration
+
+Template: exim4/use_split_config
+Type: boolean
+_Description: Split configuration into small files?
+ The Debian exim4 packages can either use 'unsplit configuration', a
+ single monolithic file (/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template) or 'split
+ configuration', where the actual Exim configuration files are built
+ from about 50 smaller files in /etc/exim4/conf.d/.
+ .
+ Unsplit configuration is better suited for large modifications and is
+ generally more stable, whereas split configuration offers a comfortable
+ way to make smaller modifications but is more fragile and might break
+ if modified carelessly.
+ .
+ A more detailed discussion of split and unsplit configuration can be
+ found in the Debian-specific README files in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base.
+
+Template: exim4/hide_mailname
+Type: boolean
+_Description: Hide local mail name in outgoing mail?
+ The headers of outgoing mail can be rewritten to make it appear to have been
+ generated on a different system. If this option is chosen,
+ '${mailname}', 'localhost' and '${dc_other_hostnames}' in From, Reply-To,
+ Sender and Return-Path are rewritten.
+
+Template: exim4/dc_localdelivery
+Type: select
+__Choices: mbox format in /var/mail/, Maildir format in home directory
+Default: mbox format in /var/mail/
+_Description: Delivery method for local mail:
+ Exim is able to store locally delivered email in different formats.
+ The most commonly used ones are mbox and Maildir. mbox uses a single
+ file for the complete mail folder stored in /var/mail/. With Maildir
+ format every single message is stored in a separate file in ~/Maildir/.
+ .
+ Please note that most mail tools in Debian expect the local delivery
+ method to be mbox in their default.
