1 Template: masqmail/manage_config_with_debconf
2 Type: boolean
3 Default: true
4 _Description: Manage masqmail.conf using debconf?
5 The /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf file can be handled automatically
6 by debconf, or manually by you.
7 .
8 Note that only specific, marked sections of the configuration file will be
9 handled by debconf if you select this option; if those markers are absent,
10 you will have to update the file manually, or move or delete the file.
12 Template: masqmail/move_existing_nondebconf_config
13 Type: boolean
14 Default: false
15 _Description: Replace existing /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf file?
16 The existing /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf file currently on the system does
17 not contain a marked section for debconf to write its data.
18 .
19 If you select this option, the existing configuration
20 file will be backed up to /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf.debconf-backup and a
21 new file written to /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf. If you do not select this
22 option, the existing configuration file will not be managed by debconf,
23 and no further questions about masqmail configuration will be
24 asked.
26 Template: masqmail/host_name
27 Type: string
28 Default:
29 _Description: Masqmail host name:
30 Please enter the name used by masqmail to identify itself to others.
31 This is most likely your hostname. It is used in its SMTP greeting
32 banner, for expanding unqualified addresses, the Message ID and so on.
34 Template: masqmail/local_hosts
35 Type: string
36 _Description: Hosts considered local:
37 Please enter a list of hosts, separated with semicolons (;), which are
38 considered 'local', ie. mail to these hosts will be delivered to a
39 mailbox (or Maildir or MDA) on this host.
40 .
41 You will most likely insert 'localhost', your hostname in its fully
42 qualified form and just the simple hostname here.
43 .
44 You can also use wildcard expressions like '*' and '?'.
46 Template: masqmail/local_nets
47 Type: string
48 _Description: Nets considered local:
49 Please enter a list of hosts, separated with semicolons (;), which are
50 on your local network, ie. they are always reachable, without a
51 dialup connection. Mail to these hosts will be delivered immediately,
52 without checking for the online status.
53 .
54 You can use wildcard expressions like '*' and '?', eg. *.yournet.local
55 .
56 If you have only one box, you can leave this empty. If you do not want
57 to use masqmail as an offline MTA, and the whole internet or another mail
58 server which accepts outgoing mail is at all times
59 reachable to you, just insert '*'.
61 Template: masqmail/listen_addresses
62 Type: string
63 Default: localhost:25
64 _Description: Interfaces for incoming connections:
65 Masqmail, for security reasons, does not listen an all network
66 interfaces by default. If there are no other hosts connected to your
67 host, just leave the default 'localhost:25' value. If there are other
68 hosts that may want to send SMTP messages to this host, add the
69 address of your network interface here, eg.:
70 localhost:25;192.168.1.2:25.
71 .
72 Of course you can also replace the '25' with another port number, however
73 this is unusual.
75 Template: masqmail/use_syslog
76 Type: boolean
77 Default: false
78 _Description: Use syslogd for logs?
79 You can decide whether masqmail should log via syslog or not. If not,
80 logs will be written to /var/log/masqmail/masqmail.log.
82 Template: masqmail/online_detect
83 Type: select
84 __Choices: file, pipe
85 Default: file
86 _Description: Online detection method:
87 Masqmail has different methods to determine whether it is online or not,
88 these are 'file','pipe'.
89 .
90 For 'file', masqmail checks for the existence of a file, and, if it
91 exists, reads from it the name of the connection.
92 .
93 For 'pipe', masqmail calls a program or script, which outputs the name
94 if online or nothing if not. You can use eg. the program guessnet for this.
96 Template: masqmail/online_file
97 Type: string
98 Default: /var/run/masqmail-route
99 _Description: File used to determine the online status:
101 Template: masqmail/online_pipe
102 Type: string
103 Default:
104 _Description: Name of the program used to determine the online status:
105 Please choose the program to use to determine the online
106 status. Please note that, when this program is called, masqmail has
107 the user id 'mail'.
109 Template: masqmail/mbox_default
110 Type: select
111 Choices: mbox, mda, maildir
112 Default: mbox
113 _Description: Local delivery style:
114 Local mail can be delivered to a mailbox, to an MDA (eg. procmail)
115 or to a qmail style Maildir in the users home dir.
116 .
117 You can select the default style here. You can configure this also
118 on a per-user basis with the options mbox_users, mda_users and
119 maildir_users.
121 Template: masqmail/mda
122 Type: string
123 Default: /usr/bin/procmail -Y -d ${rcpt_local}
124 _Description: MDA command line (including options):
125 Please choose the path to the mail delivery agent (MDA), including
126 its arguments. You can use substitution values here,
127 eg. ${rcpt_local} for the user name.
128 .
129 For other substitutions please see the man page.
130 .
131 This question is also asked if you did not set mbox_default to mda,
132 since you can use mda for a set of users specially.
134 Template: masqmail/alias_local_caseless
135 Type: boolean
136 Default: false
137 _Description: Should alias expansion regard case?
138 Masqmail uses the file /etc/aliases to redirect local addresses.
139 The search for a match in /etc/aliases can be regarding upper/lower
140 case or insensitive to case.
142 Template: masqmail/init_smtp_daemon
143 Type: boolean
144 Default: true
145 _Description: Start SMTP listening daemon?
146 Please choose whether you want masqmail to start as an SMTP listening
147 daemon. You will need this if:
148 - there are other hosts in your local network that may want to send
149 mail via this host
150 - you use a mail client that sends mail via SMTP (netscape,
151 mozilla are examples)
153 Template: masqmail/init_queue_daemon
154 Type: boolean
155 Default: true
156 _Description: Start SMTP queue running daemon?
157 Please choose this option if you want masqmail to start as a queue
158 running daemon. You're very likely to need this. It is used for mail
159 that cannot delivered immediately, either because of delivery
160 failures or because you were not online on the first attempt to send
161 a mail.
163 Template: masqmail/queue_daemon_ival
164 Type: string
165 Default: -q10m
166 _Description: Interval for the queue running daemon:
167 Please choose the interval for the queue running daemon. -q10m means
168 flush the queue every 10 minutes.
169 .
170 The format is -q, followed by an numeric value and one of the letters s,m,h,d,w for
171 seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks respectively.
172 .
173 Reasonable values are between 5 minutes (-q5m) and 2 hours (-q2h).
175 Template: masqmail/init_fetch_daemon
176 Type: boolean
177 Default: false
178 _Description: Start POP3 fetch daemon?
179 Please choose this option if you want masqmail to start as a fetch
180 daemon. If you do so, masqmail will try to fetch mail from POP3
181 servers that you configure in regular intervals, detecting the online
182 status first.
183 .
184 No matter what you choose here, you can later select whether you want to fetch
185 mail the moment you get online.
187 Template: masqmail/fetch_daemon_ival
188 Type: string
189 Default: -go5m
190 _Description: Interval for the fetch daemon:

193 The format is -go, followed by an numeric value and one of the letters s,m,h,d,w for
194 seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks respectively.
195 .
196 Reasonable values are between 2 minutes (-go2m) and 2 hours (-go2h).
198 Template: masqmail/ipup_runqueue
199 Type: boolean
200 Default: true
201 _Description: Flush mail queue when you get online?
202 Please choose whether you want masqmail to immediately flush its mail
203 queue as soon as you go online. This will be done in the ip-up script
204 in /etc/ppp/ip-up or in /etc/network/if-up.d/.
206 Template: masqmail/ipup_fetch
207 Type: boolean
208 Default: false
209 _Description: Fetch mail when you get online?
210 Please choose whether you want masqmail to immediately fetch mail
211 from POP3 servers as soon as you go online. This will be done in the
212 ip-up script in /etc/ppp/ip-up or in /etc/network/if-up.d/.
214 Template: masqmail/ifup_ifaces
215 Type: string
216 Default: all
217 _Description: List of interfaces used for masqmail online detection:
218 Please choose a list of network interfaces which will trigger queue
219 runs and/or fetching mails when going up. The list will be used in
220 the /etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/network/if-up.d/ scripts, when the
221 interface goes up.
222 .
223 A reasonable choice is eg. 'ppp0' for a desktop at home, or 'ppp0 eth0' for
224 a notebook.
225 .
226 Set to 'all' for all interfaces, or 'none' for no interfaces.
