  10 # Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes
  11 # to this file might happen. The code handling this will honor your local
  12 # changes, so this is usually fine, but will break local schemes that mess

  27 # Mail Server configuration
  28 # -------------------------

  30 # Please select the mail server configuration type that best meets your needs.
  31
  32 # Systems with dynamic IP addresses, including dialup systems, should generally be
  33 # configured to send outgoing mail to another machine, called a 'smarthost' for
  34 # delivery because many receiving systems on the Internet block incoming mail from
  35 # dynamic IP addresses as spam protection.
  36
  37 # A system with a dynamic IP address can receive its own mail, or local delivery can be
  38 # disabled entirely (except mail for root and postmaster).
  39
  40 #   1. internet site; mail is sent and received directly using SMTP
  41 #   2. mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail
  42 #   3. mail sent by smarthost; no local mail
  43 #   4. local delivery only; not on a network
  44 #   5. no configuration at this time

  53 # Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains for which this machine
  54 # should consider itself the final destination. These domains are commonly called
  55 # 'local domains'. The local hostname (kd.lan) and 'localhost' are always added
  56 # to the list given here.
  57
  58 # By default all local domains will be treated identically. If both a.example and
  59 # b.example are local domains, acc@a.example and acc@b.example will be delivered to the
  60 # same final destination. If different domain names should be treated differently, it
  61 # is necessary to edit the config files afterwards.

  71
  72 # If this system only receives mail directly from local services (and not from other
  73 # hosts), it is suggested to prohibit external connections to the local Exim daemon.
  74 # Such services include e-mail programs (MUAs) which talk to localhost only as well as
  75 # fetchmail. External connections are impossible when 127.0.0.1 is entered here, as
  76 # this will disable listening on public network interfaces.

  83 # Exim is able to store locally delivered email in different formats. The most commonly
  84 # used ones are mbox and Maildir. mbox uses a single file for the complete mail folder
  85 # stored in /var/mail/. With Maildir format every single message is stored in a
  86 # separate file in ~/Maildir/.
  87
  88 # Please note that most mail tools in Debian expect the local delivery method to be
  89 # mbox in their default.
