If your + needs don't fit neatly into any category, you probably want to start + with this one and then edit the config file by hand. + . + Internet site using smarthost: You receive Internet mail on this + machine, either directly by SMTP or by running a utility such as + fetchmail. Outgoing mail is sent using a smarthost. optionally with + addresses rewritten. This is probably what you want for a dialup + system. + . + Satellite system: All mail is sent to another machine, called a "smart + host" for delivery. root and postmaster mail is delivered according + to /etc/aliases. No mail is received locally. + . + Local delivery only: You are not on a network. Mail for local users + is delivered. + . + No configuration: No configuration will be done now; your mail system + will be broken and cannot be used. You must do the configuration + yourself later by hand or by running "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" + as root. + . + Choose this option if you want to configure exim4 by hand instead of + with debconf or if you want to convert an existing handcrafted Exim v3 + configuration to v4-format with exim_convert4r4(8). Consult + /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/example.conf.gz and + /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian! + +Template: exim4/mailname +Type: string +Description: `mail name' of your system, (not visible for satellite-system) + Please enter the `mail name' of your system. This is the + hostname portion of the address to be shown on outgoing + news and mail messages. If you are configuring this system as 'satellite' + this name won't appear on From: lines of mail, as rewriting is used. + +Template: exim4/dc_other_hostnames +Type: string +Default: +Description: What other domain names to recognise? + Does this system have any other names which may appear on incoming + mail messages, apart from the mail name (${mailname}) and + localhost? + . + By default all domains will be treated the same; if you want different + domain names to be treated differently, you will need to edit the config + file afterwards. + . + If there are any more, enter them here, separated with colons. + +Template: exim4/dc_relay_domains +Type: string +Default: +Description: Which domains to relay for? + All mail from here or specified other local machines to anywhere on + the internet will be accepted, as will mail from anywhere on the + internet to here. + . + Are there any domains you want to relay mail for---that is, you are + prepared to accept mail for them from anywhere on the internet, but + they are not local domains. + . + If there are any, enter them here, separated with colons. You + can use wildcards. + +Template: exim4/dc_relay_nets +Type: string +Default: +Description: Which machines to allow relaying for? + Obviously, any machines that use us as a smarthost have to be excluded + from the relaying controls, as using us to relay mail for them is the + whole point. + . + Are there any networks of local machines you want to relay mail for? + . + If there are any, enter them here, separated with colons. You + should use the standard address/length format (e.g. 194.222.242.0/24) + . + You need to double the colons in IPv6 addresses (e.g. 5f03::1200::836f::::/48) + +Template: exim4/dc_readhost +Type: string +Description: Domain name for local users + Since this is going to be a satellite system, I need to know what domain + name to use for mail from local users; typically this is the machine on + which you normally receive your mail. + . + Where will your users read their mail? + +Template: exim4/dc_smarthost +Type: string +Description: Which machine will act as the smarthost and handle outgoing mail? + Enter the hostname of the machine to send outgoing mail to. + +Template: exim4/dc_postmaster +Type: string +Description: Who is to receive postmaster mail? + Mail for the "postmaster" and "root" accounts is usually redirected + to one or more user accounts, of the actual system administrators. + By default, I'll set things up so that mail for "postmaster" and for + various system accounts is redirected to "root", and mail for "root" + is redirected to a real user. This can be changed by editing /etc/aliases. + . + Note that postmaster-mail should usually be read on the system it is + directed to, rather than being forwarded elsewhere, so (at least one of) + the users you choose should not redirect their mail off this machine. + . + Which user account(s) should system administrator mail go to ? + Enter one or more usernames separated by spaces or commas . Enter + "none" if you want to leave this mail in "root"'s mailbox - NB this + is strongly discouraged. Also, note that usernames should be lowercase! + +Template: exim4/dc_noalias_regenerate +Type: boolean +Default: false +Description: Overwrite existing /etc/aliases? + You already have an /etc/aliases file, but it does not redirect mail for + root to a user account, which is strongly recommended. Shall I overwrite it? + (the old one will be kept and renamed to aliases.O)? + +Template: exim4/dc_local_interfaces +Type: string +Default: notset +Description: List of IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections? + Enter a colon-separted list of IP-addresses to listen on. You need to double + the colons in IPv6 addresses (e.g. 5f03::1200::836f::::). + . + If you leave this value empty Exim will listen for connections on the SMTP + port of all available network interfaces. + . + If this computer does not receive e-mail directly per SMTP from OTHER hosts, + but only from local services like fetchmail or your e-mail program (MUA) + talking to localhost you should prohibit external connections to Exim by + setting this option to 127.0.0.1 and therefore disabling 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 makes DNS-lookups at startup, when receiving + or delivering message, etc. for logging purposes and to keep the number of + hard-coded values configuration file small. + . + If this were a host without permanent DNS-nameserver-access using + Dial-on-Demand this might have the unwanted consequence that starting up exim + or running the queue (even with no messages waiting) might trigger a + costly dial-up-event. + . + Enable this feature if you are using Dial-on-Demand, disable it otherwise. |
