These domains are commonly called # 'local domains'. The local hostname (kd.lan) 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. dc_other_hostnames # 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. # IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections: dc_local_interfaces # 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. # 1. mbox format in /var/mail/ 2. Maildir format in home directory # Delivery method for local mail: 2 dc_localdelivery='maildir_home'
