| 34 | 9 This man page describes the syntax of the main configuration file of masqmail. |
| 10 Its usual location is \fI/etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf\fR | |
| 0 | 11 |
| 12 The configuration consists of lines of the form | |
| 13 | |
| 34 | 14 \fBval\fR = \fIexpression\fR |
| 0 | 15 |
| 34 | 16 Where \fBval\fR is a variable name and \fIexpression\fR a string, |
| 17 which can be quoted with double quotes `"'. | |
| 18 If the expression is on multiple lines or contains characters other than letters, | |

22 Each \fBval\fP has a type, which can be boolean, numeric, string or list. |
| 34 | 23 A boolean variable can be set with one of the values `on', `yes', and `true' or `off', `no' and `false'. |
| 24 List items are separated with semicolons `;'. | |

| 34 | 28 Most lists (exceptions: \fBlocal_hosts\fR, \fBlocal_nets\fR, \fBlisten_addresses\fR, |
| 192 | 29 and \fBonline_routes\fR) accept files. |
| 34 | 30 These will be recognized by a leading slash `/'. |
| 31 The contents of these files will be included at the position of the file name, | |
| 32 there can be items or other files before and after the file entry. | |

| 307 This is not necessarily identical with the Message ID as given in the Message ID: header. | |
| 0 | 308 |
| 309 received_host - the host the mail was received from | |

| 312 or the user id of the sender if the message was received locally. | |
| 0 | 313 |
| 314 return_path_local - the local part of the return path (sender). | |

| 316 return_path_domain - the domain part of the return path (sender). | |
| 317 | |
| 318 return_path - the complete return path (sender). | |

| 34 | 364 No matter how masqmail detects the online status, |
