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.

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. |
