LISTS OF EXIM OPTIONS
---------------------
This file contains complete lists of three kinds of Exim option:
1. 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 3.30.
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, an incompatible change took place
at release 3.00, where several groups of options were amalgamated into a single
new, extended option. For example,
sender_host_accept
sender_net_accept
sender_host_reject
sender_net_reject
sender_host_reject_except
sender_net_reject_except
were all replaced by the single option host_reject, which can now contain IP
addresses as well as host names, and negated items to cater for exceptions. The
opportunity was taken to remove or revise number of other options at the same
time. Since release 3.00, from_hack has been rendered obsolete by check_string
and escape_string; collapse_source_routes is also obsolete, because its action
is now always taken. These old options are still recognized, though not
documented here.
The table below contains a complete list of all Exim's options, along with
their types, default values, and where they can be used. String options that
are expanded before use are marked with *. 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;
. `directors' for generic options that apply to any director;
. `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.

3. BUILD TIME OPTIONS FOR EXIM
------------------------------
The table below contains a complete list of options that can be set in
Local/Makefile when building Exim. The second column 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.

** it means that the text string is too long to fit in the table and is instead
given below. A blank default means that there is no default value.
ACTION_OUTPUT=yes show output for every action
ACTION_QUEUE_UPDATE=yes update queue display after actions
BODY_MAX=20000 maximum body display
DOMAIN= domain to strip from window title
LOG_BUFFER=20K buffer for log tail
LOG_DEPTH=300 depth of log subwindow
LOG_FONT=** font for log display
LOG_STRIPCHARTS=** patterns for stripcharts
LOG_WIDTH=950 width of log subwindow
MENU_EVENT='Shift<Btn1Down>' keypress for menu
MIN_HEIGHT=162 minimum window height
MIN_WIDTH=103 minimum window width
QUALIFY_DOMAIN= local domain to strip from addresses
QUEUE_DEPTH=200 depth of queue subwindow
QUEUE_FONT=$LOG_FONT font for queue display
QUEUE_INTERVAL=300 queue refresh interval
QUEUE_MAX_ADDRESSES=10 max addresses to show in queue
QUEUE_STRIPCHART_NAME=queue name for queue stripchart

deliveries where the director's name starts with local, and the fourth counts
deliveries where the transport name ends in smtp.
