Fixed an important bug with folded headers! g_strconcat() returns a *copy* of the string, but hdr->value still pointed to the old header (which probably was a memory leak, too). If the folded part had been quite small it was likely that the new string was at the same position as the old one, thus making everything go well. But if pretty long headers were folded several times it was likely that the new string was allocated somewhere else in memory, thus breaking things. In result mails to lots of recipients (folded header) were frequently only sent to the ones in the first line. Sorry for the inconvenience.

meillo@56 3 <h2>masqmail configuration file</h2>
meillo@56 4
meillo@56 5
meillo@56 6 <h2>Description</h2>
meillo@56 7
meillo@56 8 <p>This man page describes the syntax of the main configuration file
meillo@56 9 of masqmail. Its usual location is <em>/etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf</em></p>
meillo@56 10
meillo@56 11 <p>The configuration consists of lines of the form</p>
meillo@56 12
meillo@56 13 <p><b>val</b> = <em>expression</em></p>
meillo@56 14
meillo@56 15 <p>Where <b>val</b> is a variable name and <em>expression</em> a string,
meillo@56 16 which can be quoted with '"'. If the expression is on multiple lines
meillo@56 17 or contains characters other than letters, digits or the characters
meillo@56 18 '.', '-', '_', '/', it must be quoted. You can use quotes inside quotes
meillo@56 19 by escaping them with a backslash.</p>
meillo@56 20
meillo@56 21 <p>Each val has a type, which can be boolean, numeric, string
meillo@56 22 or list. A boolean variable can be set with one of the values 'on',
meillo@56 23 'yes', and 'true' or 'off', 'no' and 'false'. List items are separated
meillo@56 24 with ';'. For some values patterns (like '*','?') can be used. The
meillo@56 25 spaces before and after the '=' are optional.</p>
meillo@56 26
meillo@56 27 <p>Most lists (exceptions: <b>local_hosts</b>,
meillo@56 28 <b>local_nets</b>, <b>listen_addresses</b>, <b>online_routes</b> and <b>online_gets</b>) accept
meillo@56 29 files. These will be recognized by a leading slash '/'. The contents
meillo@56 30 of these files will be included at the position of the file name,
meillo@56 31 there can be items or other files before and after the file entry. The
meillo@56 32 format of the files is different though, within these files each entry
meillo@56 33 is on another line. (And not separated by semicolons). This makes it
meillo@56 34 easy to include large lists which are common in different
meillo@56 35 configuration files, so they do not have to appear in every
meillo@56 36 configuration file.</p>
meillo@56 37
meillo@56 38 <p>Blank lines and lines starting with '#' are ignored.</p>
meillo@56 39
meillo@56 40
meillo@56 41
meillo@56 42
meillo@56 43 <h2>Options</h2>
meillo@56 44
meillo@56 45
meillo@56 46 <p><b>run_as_user = <em>boolean</em></b></p>
meillo@56 47
meillo@56 48 <p>If this is set, masqmail runs with the user id of the user who
meillo@56 49 invoked it and never changes it. This is for debugging purposes
meillo@56 50 only. If the user is not root, masqmail will not be able to
meillo@56 51 listen on a port < 1024 and will not be able to deliver local mail
meillo@56 52 to others than the user.</p>
meillo@56 53
meillo@56 54
meillo@56 55
meillo@56 56
meillo@56 57 <p><b>use_syslog = <em>boolean</em></b></p>
meillo@56 58
meillo@56 59 <p>If this is set, masqmail uses syslogd for logging. It uses facility
meillo@56 60 MAIL. You still have to set <b>log_dir</b> for debug files.</p>
meillo@56 61
meillo@56 62
meillo@56 63
meillo@56 64
meillo@56 65 <p><b>debug_level = <em>n</em></b></p>
meillo@56 66
meillo@56 67 <p>Set the debug level. Valid values are 0 to 6, increasing it further
meillo@56 68 makes no difference. Be careful if you set this as high as 5 or higher,
meillo@56 69 the logs may very soon fill your hard drive.</p>
meillo@56 70
meillo@56 71
meillo@56 72
meillo@56 73
meillo@56 74 <p><b>mail_dir = <em>file</em></b></p>
meillo@56 75
meillo@56 76 <p>The directory where local mail is stored,
meillo@56 77 usually <em>/var/spool/mail</em> or <em>/var/mail</em>.</p>
meillo@56 78
meillo@56 79
meillo@56 80
meillo@56 81
meillo@56 82 <p><b>spool_dir = <em>file</em></b></p>
meillo@56 83
meillo@56 84 <p>The directory where masqmail stores its spool files (and later also
meillo@56 85 other stuff). It must have a subdirectory <em>input</em>.
meillo@56 86 Masqmail needs read and write permissions for this
meillo@56 87 directory. I suggest to use <em>/var/spool/masqmail</em>.</p>
meillo@56 88
meillo@56 89
meillo@56 90
meillo@56 91
meillo@56 92 <p><b>host_name = <em>string</em></b></p>
meillo@56 93
meillo@56 94 <p>This is used in different places: Masqmail identifies itself in the
meillo@56 95 greeting banner on incoming connections and in the HELO/EHLO command
meillo@56 96 for outgoing connections with this name, it is used in the Received:
meillo@56 97 header and to qualify the sender of a locally originating message.</p>
meillo@56 98
meillo@56 99 <p>If the string begins with a slash '/', it it assumed that it is a
meillo@56 100 filename, and the first line of this file will be used. Usually this will
meillo@56 101 be '/etc/mailname' to make masqmail conform to Debian policies.</p>
meillo@56 102
meillo@56 103 <p>It is not used to find whether an address is local.
meillo@56 104 Use <b>local_hosts</b> for that.</p>
meillo@56 105
meillo@56 106
meillo@56 107
meillo@56 108
meillo@56 109 <p><b>remote_port = <em>n</em></b></p>
meillo@56 110
meillo@56 111 <p>The remote port number to be used. This defaults to port 25.</p>
meillo@56 112 <p>This option is deprecated. Use <b>host_name</b> in the route
meillo@56 113 configuration instead. See <a href="masqmail.route.5.html">masqmail.route</a>.</p>
meillo@56 114
meillo@56 115
meillo@56 116
meillo@56 117
meillo@56 118 <p><b>local_hosts = <em>list</em></b></p>
meillo@56 119
meillo@56 120 <p>A semicolon ';' separated list of hostnames which are considered
meillo@56 121 local. Normally you set it to "localhost;foo;foo.bar.com" if your host
meillo@56 122 has the fully qualified domain name 'foo.bar.com'.</p>
meillo@56 123
meillo@56 124
meillo@56 125
meillo@56 126
meillo@56 127 <p><b>local_nets = <em>list</em></b></p>
meillo@56 128
meillo@56 129 <p>A semicolon ';' separated list of hostnames which are on the
meillo@56 130 'local' net. Delivery to these hosts is attempted immediately. You can
meillo@56 131 use patterns with '*', eg. "*.bar.com".</p>
meillo@56 132
meillo@56 133
meillo@56 134
meillo@56 135
meillo@56 136 <p><b>local_addresses = <em>list</em></b></p>
meillo@56 137
meillo@56 138 <p>A semicolon ';' separated list of fully qualified email-addresses
meillo@56 139 which are considered local although their domain name part is not in
meillo@56 140 the list of <b>local_hosts</b>. </p>
meillo@56 141 <p>For example: There are two people working at your
meillo@56 142 LAN: person1@yourdomain and person2@yourdomain. But there are
meillo@56 143 other persons @yourdomain which are NOT local. So you can not put
meillo@56 144 yourdomain to the list of local_hosts. If person1 now wants
meillo@56 145 to write to person2@yourdomain and this mail should not leave the LAN
meillo@56 146 then you can put</p>
meillo@56 147 <p>local_addresses = "person1@yourdomain;person2@yourdomain"</p>
meillo@56 148 <p>to your masqmail.conf.</p>
meillo@56 149
meillo@56 150
meillo@56 151
meillo@56 152
meillo@56 153 <p><b>not_local_addresses = <em>list</em></b></p>
meillo@56 154
meillo@56 155 <p>A semicolon ';' separated list of fully qualified email-addresses
meillo@56 156 which are considered not local although their domain name part is in
meillo@56 157 the list of <b>local_hosts</b>. </p>
meillo@56 158 <p>This ist the opposite of the previous case. The majority of addresses
meillo@56 159 of a specific domain are local. But some users are not. With this
meillo@56 160 option you can easily exclude these users.</p>
meillo@56 161 <p>Example:</p>
meillo@56 162 <p>local_hosts = "localhost;myhost;mydomain.net"</p>
meillo@56 163 <p>not_local_addresses = "eric@mydomain.net"</p>
meillo@56 164
meillo@56 165
meillo@56 166
meillo@56 167
meillo@56 168 <p><b>listen_addresses = <em>list</em></b></p>
meillo@56 169
meillo@56 170 <p>A semicolon ';' separated list of interfaces on which connections
meillo@56 171 will be accepted. An interface ist defined by a hostname, optionally
meillo@56 172 followed by a colon ':' and a number for the port. If this is left out,
meillo@56 173 port 25 will be used.</p>
meillo@56 174 <p>You can set this to "localhost:25;foo:25" if your hostname is 'foo'.</p>
meillo@56 175 <p>Note that the names are resolved to IP addreses. If your host has
meillo@56 176 different names which resolve to the same IP, use only one of them,
meillo@56 177 otherwise you will get an error message.
meillo@56 178 </p>
meillo@56 179
meillo@56 180
meillo@56 181
meillo@56 182
meillo@56 183 <p><b>do_save_envelope_to = <em>boolean</em></b></p>
meillo@56 184
meillo@56 185 <p>If this is set to true, a possibly existing Envelope-to: header in an
meillo@56 186 incoming mail which is received via either pop3 or smtp will be saved as
meillo@56 187 an X-Orig-Envelope-to: header.</p>
meillo@56 188 <p>This is useful if you retrieve mail from a pop3 server with either masqmail
meillo@56 189 or fetchmail, and the server supports Envelope-to: headers, and you want to make use
meillo@56 190 of those with a mail filtering tool, eg. procmail. It cannot be preserved because
meillo@56 191 masqmail sets such a header by itself.</p>
meillo@56 192 <p>Default is false.</p>
meillo@56 193
meillo@56 194
meillo@56 195
meillo@56 196
meillo@56 197 <p><b>do_relay = <em>boolean</em></b></p>
meillo@56 198
meillo@56 199 <p>If this is set to false, mail with a return path that is not local and a
meillo@56 200 destination that is also not local will not be accepted via smtp and a 550
meillo@56 201 reply will be given. Default is true.</p>
meillo@56 202 <p>Note that this will not protect you from spammers using open relays, but from
meillo@56 203 users unable to set their address in their mail clients.</p>
meillo@56 204
meillo@56 205
meillo@56 206
meillo@56 207
meillo@56 208 <p><b>do_queue = <em>boolean</em></b></p>
meillo@56 209
meillo@56 210 <p>If this is set, mail will not be delivered immediately when
meillo@56 211 accepted. Same as calling masqmail with the <b>-odq</b> option.</p>
meillo@56 212
meillo@56 213
meillo@56 214
meillo@56 215
meillo@56 216 <p><b>online_routes.<em>name</em> = <em>list</em></b></p>
meillo@56 217
meillo@56 218
meillo@56 219 <p>Replace <em>name</em> with a name to identify a connection. Set this
meillo@56 220 to a filename (or a list of filenames) for the special route configuration for that
meillo@56 221 connection. You will use that name to call masqmail with the
meillo@56 222 <b>-qo</b> option every time a connection to your ISP is set
meillo@56 223 up.</p>
meillo@56 224
meillo@56 225 <p>Example: Your ISP has the name FastNet. Then you write the
meillo@56 226 following line in the main configuration:</p>
meillo@56 227
meillo@56 228 <p><b>online_routes.FastNet</b> = <em>"/etc/masqmail/fastnet.route"</em></p>
meillo@56 229
meillo@56 230 <p><em>/etc/masqmail/fastnet.route</em> is the route configuration
meillo@56 231 file, see <a href="masqmail.route.5.html">masqmail.route</a>. As soon as a link to FastNet has been set up, you
meillo@56 232 call masqmail <b>-qo</b> <em>FastNet</em>. Masqmail will then
meillo@56 233 read the specified file and send the mails.</p>

meillo@56 247 <p><b>local_net_route = <em>file</em></b></p>
meillo@56 248
meillo@56 249 <p>This is similar to <b>online_routes.<em>name</em></b> but for the
meillo@56 250 local net. Recipient addresses that are in local_nets will be
meillo@56 251 routed using this route configuration. Main purpose is to define a
meillo@56 252 mail server with mail_host in your local network. In simple
meillo@56 253 environments this can be left unset. If unset, a default route
meillo@56 254 configuration will be used.</p>

meillo@56 273
meillo@56 274
meillo@56 275 <p><b>pipe_fromline = <em>boolean</em></b></p>
meillo@56 276
meillo@56 277 <p>If this is set, a from line will be prepended to the output stream whenever
meillo@56 278 a pipe command is called after an alias expansion. Default is false.</p>
meillo@56 279
meillo@56 280
meillo@56 281
meillo@56 282
meillo@56 283 <p><b>pipe_fromhack = <em>boolean</em></b></p>
meillo@56 284
meillo@56 285 <p>If this is set, each line beginning with 'From ' is replaced with '>From ' whenever
meillo@56 286 a pipe command is called after an alias expansion. You probably want this if you have
meillo@56 287 set <b>pipe_fromline</b> above. Default is false.</p>

meillo@56 295 maildir (the latter only if maildir support is enabled at compile
meillo@56 296 time). Default is mbox. You can override this for each user by using

meillo@56 329
meillo@56 330 <p>If you want local delivery to be transferred to an mda (Mail
meillo@56 331 Delivery Agent), set this to a command. The argument will be expanded
meillo@56 332 on delivery time, you can use variables beginning with a '$' sign,
meillo@56 333 optionally enclosed in curly braces. Variables you can use are:</p>
meillo@56 334 <p>uid - the unique message id. This is not necessarily identical with
meillo@56 335 the Message ID as given in the Message ID: header.</p>
meillo@56 336 <p>received_host - the host the mail was received from</p>
meillo@56 337 <p>ident - the ident, this is either the ident delivered by the ident
meillo@56 338 protocol or the user id of the sender if the message was received locally.</p>
meillo@56 339 <p>return_path_local - the local part of the return path (sender).</p>
meillo@56 340 <p>return_path_domain - the domain part of the return path (sender).</p>
meillo@56 341 <p>return_path - the complete return path (sender).</p>
meillo@56 342 <p>rcpt_local - the local part of the recipient.</p>

meillo@56 346 <p>For the mda, as for pipe commands, a few environment variables will
meillo@56 347 be set as well. See <a href="masqmail.8.html">masqmail</a>. To use environment variables for the mda,
meillo@56 348 the '$' sign has to be escaped with a backslash, otherwise they will

meillo@56 372 <p><b>online_detect = <em>string</em></b></p>
meillo@56 373
meillo@56 374 <p>Defines the method MasqMail uses to detect whether there is
meillo@56 375 currently an online connection. It can have the
meillo@56 376 values <b>file</b>, <b>pipe</b> or <b>mserver</b>.</p>
meillo@56 377
meillo@56 378 <p>When it is set to <b>file</b>, MasqMail first checks for the
meillo@56 379 existence of <b>online_file</b> (see below) and if it exists, it reads
meillo@56 380 it. The content of the file should be the name of the current
meillo@56 381 connection as defined with <b>connect_route.<em>name</em></b> (without
meillo@56 382 a trailing newline character).</p>
meillo@56 383
meillo@56 384 <p>When it is set to <b>pipe</b>, MasqMail calls the executable given by
meillo@56 385 the <b>online_pipe</b> option (see below) and reads the current online
meillo@56 386 status from its standard output.</p>
meillo@56 387
meillo@56 388 <p>When it is set to <b>mserver</b>, MasqMail connects to the
meillo@56 389 masqdialer server using the value of <b>mserver_iface</b> and asks it
meillo@56 390 whether a connection exists and for the name, which should be the name
meillo@56 391 of the current connection as defined with <b>connect_route.<em>name</em></b>.</p>
meillo@56 392
meillo@56 393 <p>No matter how MasqMail detects the online status, only messages
meillo@56 394 that are accepted at online time will be delivered using the
meillo@56 395 connection. The spool still has to be emptied with masqmail <b>-qo</b>

meillo@56 403 <p>This is the name of the file checked for when MasqMail determines
meillo@56 404 whether it is online. The file should only exist when there is
meillo@56 405 currently a connection. Create it in your ip-up script with eg.</p>
meillo@56 406
meillo@56 407 <p>echo -n <name> > /tmp/connect_route</p>
meillo@56 408 <p>chmod 0644 /tmp/connect_route</p>
meillo@56 409
meillo@56 410 <p>Do not forget to delete it in your ip-down script.</p>
meillo@56 411
meillo@56 412
meillo@56 413
meillo@56 414
meillo@56 415 <p><b>online_pipe = <em>file</em></b></p>
meillo@56 416
meillo@56 417 <p>This is the name of the executable which will be called to determine
meillo@56 418 the online status. This executable should just print the name oif the current
meillo@56 419 connection to the standard output and return a zero status code. masqmail assumes
meillo@56 420 it is offline if the script returns with a non zero status. Simple example:</p>
meillo@56 421
meillo@56 422 <p>#!/bin/sh</p>
meillo@56 423 <p></p>
meillo@56 424 <p>[ -e /tmp/connect_route ] || exit 1</p>
meillo@56 425 <p>cat /tmp/connect_route</p>
meillo@56 426 <p>exit 0</p>
meillo@56 427
meillo@56 428 <p>Of course, instead of the example above you could as well use <b>file</b> as
meillo@56 429 the online detection method, but you can do something more sophisticated.</p>
meillo@56 430
meillo@56 431
meillo@56 432
meillo@56 433
meillo@56 434 <p><b>mserver_iface = <em>interface</em></b></p>
meillo@56 435
meillo@56 436 <p>The interface the masqdialer server is listening to. Usually this
meillo@56 437 will be "localhost:224" if mserver is running on the same host as
meillo@56 438 masqmail. But using this option, you can also let masqmail run on
meillo@56 439 another host by setting <b>mserver_iface</b> to another hostname,
meillo@56 440 eg. "foo:224".</p>
meillo@56 441
meillo@56 442
meillo@56 443
meillo@56 444
meillo@56 445 <p><b>get.<em>name</em> = <em>file</em></b></p>
meillo@56 446
meillo@56 447 <p>Replace <em>name</em> with a name to identify a get
meillo@56 448 configuration. Set this to a filename for the get configuration. These
meillo@56 449 files will be used to retrieve mail when called with the -g option.</p>
meillo@56 450
meillo@56 451
meillo@56 452
meillo@56 453
meillo@56 454 <p><b>online_gets.<em>name</em> = <em>list</em></b></p>
meillo@56 455
meillo@56 456 <p>Replace <em>name</em> with a name to identify an online
meillo@56 457 configuration. Set this to a filename (or a list of filenames) for the get configuration. These
meillo@56 458 files will be used to retrieve mail when called with the -go option.</p>
meillo@56 459
meillo@56 460
meillo@56 461
meillo@56 462
meillo@56 463 <p><b>ident_trusted_nets = <em>list</em></b></p>
meillo@56 464
meillo@56 465 <p><em>list</em> is a list of networks of the form a.b.c.d/e
meillo@56 466 (eg. 192.168.1.0/24), from which the ident given by the ident protocol
meillo@56 467 will be trusted, so a user can delete his mail from the queue if the
meillo@56 468 ident is identical to his login name.</p>
meillo@56 469
meillo@56 470
meillo@56 471
meillo@56 472
meillo@56 473 <p><b>errmsg_file = <em>file</em></b></p>
meillo@56 474
meillo@56 475 <p>Set this to a template which will be used to generate delivery failure
meillo@56 476 reports. Variable parts within the template begin with a dollar sign and
meillo@56 477 are identical to those which can be used as arguments for the mda command,
meillo@56 478 see <b>mda</b> above. Additional information can be included with
meillo@56 479 @failed_rcpts, @msg_headers and @msg_body, these must be at the
meillo@56 480 beginning of a line and will be replaced with the list of the failed recipients,
meillo@56 481 the message headers and the message body of the failed message.</p>
meillo@56 482 <p>Default is /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl.</p>

meillo@56 485
meillo@56 486
meillo@56 487 <p><b>warnmsg_file = <em>file</em></b></p>
meillo@56 488
meillo@56 489 <p>Set this to a template which will be used to generate delivery warning
meillo@56 490 reports. It uses the same mechanisms for variables as <b>errmsg_file</b>,
meillo@56 491 see above.
meillo@56 492 </p>
meillo@56 493 <p>Default is /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/warnmsg.tpl.</p>

meillo@56 496
meillo@56 497
meillo@56 498 <p><b>warn_intervals</b> = <em>list</em></p>
meillo@56 499
meillo@56 500 <p>Set this to a list of time intervals, at which delivery warnings (starting
meillo@56 501 with the receiving time of the message) shall be generated.</p>
meillo@56 502 <p>A warning will only be generated just after an attempt to deliver the
meillo@56 503 mail and if that attempt failed temporarily. So a warning may be generated after
meillo@56 504 a longer time, if there was no attempt before.</p>
meillo@56 505 <p>Default is "1h;4h;8h;1d;2d;3d"</p>
meillo@56 506
meillo@56 507
meillo@56 508
meillo@56 509
meillo@56 510 <p><b>max_defer_time</b> = <em>time</em></p>
meillo@56 511
meillo@56 512 <p>This is the maximum time, in which a temporarily failed mail will be kept
meillo@56 513 in the spool. When this time is exceeded, it will be handled as a delivery failure,
meillo@56 514 and the message will be bounced.</p>
meillo@56 515 <p>The excedence of this time will only be noticed if the message was actually
meillo@56 516 tried to be delivered. If, for example, the message can only be delivered when
meillo@56 517 online, but you have not been online for that time, no bounce will be generated.</p>
meillo@56 518 <p>Default is 4d (4 days)</p>
meillo@56 519
meillo@56 520
meillo@56 521
meillo@56 522
meillo@56 523 <p><b>log_user = <em>name</em></b></p>
meillo@56 524
meillo@56 525 <p>Replace <em>name</em> with a valid local or remote mail address.</p>
meillo@56 526 <p>If this option is not empty, then a copy of every mail,
meillo@56 527 that passes trough the masqmail system will also be sent to the
meillo@56 528 given mail address.</p>
meillo@56 529 <p>For example you can feed your mails into a program like hypermail for
meillo@56 530 archiving purpose by placing an appropriate pipe command in masqmail.alias</p>
