correct masqmail path in rmail script; remove docs on uninstall
on install the correct path to the masqmail executable gets
inserted into the rmail script now.

1 .TH masqmail.route 5 2010-05-07 masqmail-0.2.22 "File Formats" |

| 0 | 3 .SH NAME |
| 4 masqmail.route \- masqmail route configuration file | |
| 34 | 5 |
| 6 | |
| 0 | 7 .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 8 | |
| 34 | 9 This man page describes the syntax of the route configuration files of \fBmasqmail (8)\fR. |
| 10 Their usual locations are in \fI/etc/masqmail/\fR. | |
| 0 | 11 |
| 12 .SH OPTIONS | |
| 34 | 13 |
| 0 | 14 .TP |
| 34 | 15 \fBprotocol\fR = \fIstring\fR |
| 0 | 16 |
| 34 | 17 \fIstring\fR can be one of `smtp' or `pipe', default is `smtp'. |
| 18 If set to `smtp', mail will be sent with the SMTP protocol to its destination. | |
| 19 If set to `pipe', you also have to set `pipe' to a command, the message will then be piped to a program. | |
| 20 See option `pipe' below. | |
| 0 | 21 |
| 34 | 22 .TP |
| 23 \fBmail_host\fR = \fIstring\fR | |
| 0 | 24 |
| 34 | 25 This is preferably the mail server of your ISP. |
| 26 All outgoing messages will be sent to this host which will distribute them to their destinations. | |
| 27 If you do not set this mails will be sent directly. | |
| 28 Because the mail server is probably `near' to you, mail transfer will be much faster if you use it. | |
| 0 | 29 |
| 30 You can optionally give a port number following the host name and a colon, eg mail_host="mail.foo.com:25". | |
| 34 | 31 |
| 0 | 32 .TP |
| 34 | 33 \fBresolve_list\fR = \fIlist\fR |
| 0 | 34 |
| 34 | 35 Specify the method how the domain of the server is resolved. |
| 36 Possible values are dns_mx, dns_a, byname. | |
| 37 For `dns_mx', the domain is assumed to be an MX pointer to a list of host names, | |
| 38 these will be tried each in order (lowest preference value first, equal preference values in random order). | |
| 39 For `dns_a', the domain is assumed to be an A pointer. | |
| 40 For `byname', the library function \fBgethostbyname(3)\fR will be used. | |
| 0 | 41 |
| 42 The default is "dns_mx;dns_a;byname". | |
| 34 | 43 |
| 0 | 44 .TP |
| 34 | 45 \fBconnect_error_fail\fR = \fIboolean\fR |
| 0 | 46 |
| 34 | 47 If this is set, a connection error will cause a mail delivery to fail, ie. it will be bounced. |
| 48 If it is unset, it will just be defered. | |
| 0 | 49 |
| 34 | 50 Default is false. |
| 51 The reason for this is that masqmail is designed for non permanent internet connections, | |
| 52 where such errors may occur quite often, and a bounce would be annoying. | |
| 0 | 53 |
| 54 For the default local_net route is is set to true. | |
| 34 | 55 |
| 0 | 56 .TP |
| 34 | 57 \fBhelo_name\fR = \fIstring\fR |
| 0 | 58 |
| 34 | 59 Set the name given with the HELO/EHLO command. If this is not set, |
| 60 \fBhost_name\fR from \fImasqmail.conf\fR will be used, | |
| 61 if the \fBdo_correct_helo\fR option (see below) is unset. | |
| 0 | 62 |
| 63 .TP | |
| 34 | 64 \fBdo_correct_helo\fR = \fIboolean\fR |
| 0 | 65 |
| 34 | 66 If this is set, masqmail tries to look up your host name as it appears |
| 67 on the internet and sends this in the HELO/EHLO command. | |
| 68 Some servers are so picky that they want this. | |
| 69 Which is really crazy. | |
| 70 It just does not make any sense to lie about ones own identity, | |
| 71 because it can always be looked up by the server. | |
| 72 Nobody should believe in the name given by HELO/EHLO anyway. | |
| 73 If this is not set, \fBhost_name\fR from \fImasqmail.conf\fR or as given with | |
| 74 the \fBhelo_name\fR (see above) will be used. | |
| 0 | 75 |
| 76 .TP | |
| 34 | 77 \fBdo_pipelining\fR = \fIboolean\fR |
| 0 | 78 |
| 34 | 79 If this is set to false, masqmail will not use ESMTP PIPELINING, |
| 80 even if the server announces that it is able to cope with it. | |
| 81 Default is true. | |
| 0 | 82 |
| 34 | 83 You do not want to set this to false unless the mail setup on the |
| 84 remote server side is really broken. | |
| 85 Keywords: wingate. | |
| 0 | 86 |
| 87 .TP | |
| 34 | 88 \fBallowed_mail_locals\fR = \fIlist\fR |
| 89 | |
| 90 This is a semicolon `;' separated list of local parts which will be allowed | |
| 91 to send mail through this connection. | |
| 92 If unset and \fBnot_allowed_mail_locals\fR is also unset, all users are allowed. | |
| 0 | 93 |
| 94 .TP | |
| 34 | 95 \fBnot_allowed_mail_locals\fR = \fIlist\fR |
| 0 | 96 |
| 34 | 97 This is a semicolon `;' separated list of local parts which will be not allowed |
| 98 to send mail through this connection. | |
| 99 Local parts in this list will not be allowed to use this route even if they | |
| 100 are part of \fBallowed_mail_locals\fR (see above). | |
| 0 | 101 |
| 34 | 102 .TP |
| 103 \fBallowed_return_paths\fR = \fIlist\fR | |
| 104 | |
| 105 This is a semicolon `;' separated list of addresses. | |
| 106 Messages which have one one of these addresses as the return path will be used using this route | |
| 107 (if not also in \fBnot_allowed_return_paths\fR or an item in \fBnot_allowed_mail_locals\fR matches). | |
| 0 | 108 |
| 34 | 109 Patterns containing `?' and `*' can be used. |
| 110 The special item "<>" matches the null sender address (eg. failure notices or delivery notifications). | |
| 0 | 111 |
| 34 | 112 .TP |
| 113 \fBnot_allowed_return_paths\fR = \fIlist\fR | |
| 0 | 114 |
| 34 | 115 This is a semicolon `;' separated list of addresses. |
| 116 Messages which have one one of these addresses as the return path will not | |
| 117 be used using this route (even if also in \fBallowed_return_paths\fR | |
| 118 or an item in \fBallowed_mail_locals\fR matches). | |
| 0 | 119 |
| 34 | 120 Patterns containing `?' and `*' can be used. |
| 121 The special item "<>" matches the null sender address (eg. failure notices or delivery notifications). | |
| 122 | |
| 0 | 123 .TP |
| 34 | 124 \fBallowed_rcpt_domains\fR = \fIlist\fR |
| 0 | 125 |
| 34 | 126 A list of recipient domains where mail will be sent to. |
| 127 This is for example useful if you use this route configuration when connected to another LAN via ppp. | |
| 128 Patterns containing `?' and `*' can be used. | |
| 129 | |
| 0 | 130 .TP |
| 34 | 131 \fBnot_allowed_rcpt_domains\fR = \fIlist\fR |
| 0 | 132 |
| 34 | 133 A list of recipient domains where mail will not be sent to. |
| 134 This is for example useful if you send mail directly (\fBmail_host\fR is not set) | |
| 135 and you know of hosts that will not accept mail from you because they use a dialup list | |
| 136 (eg. \fBhttp://maps.vix.com/dul/\fR). | |
| 137 If any domain matches both \fBallowed_rcpt_domains\fR and \fBnot_allowed_rcpt_domains\fR, | |
| 138 mail will not be sent to this domain. | |
| 139 Patterns containing `?' and `*' can be used. | |
| 0 | 140 |
| 34 | 141 .TP |
| 142 \fBset_h_from_domain\fR = \fIstring\fR | |
| 0 | 143 |
| 34 | 144 Replace the domain part in `From:' headers with this value. |
| 145 This may be useful if you use a private, outside unknown address on your local LAN | |
| 146 and want this to be replaced by the domain of the address of your email addrsss on the internet. | |
| 147 Note that this is different to \fBset_return_path_domain\fR, see below. | |
| 0 | 148 |
| 149 .TP | |
| 34 | 150 \fBset_return_path_domain\fR = \fIstring\fR |
| 0 | 151 |
| 34 | 152 Sets the domain part of the envelope from address. |
| 153 Some hosts check whether this is the same as the net the connection is coming from. | |
| 154 If not, they reject the mail because they suspect spamming. | |
| 155 It should be a valid address, because some mail servers also check that. | |
| 156 You can also use this to set it to your usual address on the internet | |
| 157 and put a local address only known on your LAN in the configuration of your mailer. | |
| 158 Only the domain part will be changed, the local part remains unchanged. | |
| 159 Use \fBmap_return_path_addresses\fR for rewriting local parts. | |
| 0 | 160 |
| 34 | 161 .TP |
| 162 \fBmap_h_from_addresses\fR = \fIlist\fR | |
| 163 | |
| 164 This is similar to \fBset_h_from_domain\fR, but more flexible. | |
| 165 Set this to a list which maps local parts to a full RFC 822 compliant email address, | |
| 166 the local parts (the keys) are separated from the addresses (the values) by colons (`:'). | |
| 0 | 167 |
| 168 Example: | |
| 169 | |
| 170 map_h_from_addresses = "john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu>; charlie: Charlie Miller <cmiller@mx.commercial.com>" | |
| 171 | |
| 172 You can use patterns, eg. * as keys. | |
| 34 | 173 |
| 0 | 174 .TP |
| 34 | 175 \fBmap_h_reply_to_addresses\fR = \fIlist\fR |
| 0 | 176 |
| 34 | 177 Same as \fBmap_h_from_addresses\fR, but for the `Reply-To:' header. |
| 0 | 178 |
| 179 .TP | |
| 34 | 180 \fBmap_h_mail_followup_to_addresses\fR = \fIlist\fR |
| 0 | 181 |
| 34 | 182 Same as \fBmap_h_from_addresses\fR, but for the `Mail-Followup-To:' header. |
| 183 Useful when replying to mailing lists. | |
| 0 | 184 |
| 185 .TP | |
| 34 | 186 \fBmap_return_path_addresses\fR = \fIlist\fR |
| 0 | 187 |
| 34 | 188 This is similar to \fBset_return_path_domain\fR, but more flexible. |
| 189 Set this to a list which maps local parts to a full RFC 821 compliant email address, | |
| 190 the local parts (the keys) are separated from the addresses (the values) by colons (`:'). | |
| 191 Note that this option takes RFC 821 addresses while \fBmap_h_from_addresses\fR takes RFC 822 addresses. | |
| 192 The most important difference is that RFC 821 addresses have no full name. | |
| 0 | 193 |
| 194 Example: | |
| 195 | |
| 196 map_return_path_addresses = "john: <jsmith@mail.academic.edu>; charlie: <cmiller@mx.commercial.com>" | |
| 197 | |
| 198 You can use patterns, eg. * as keys. | |
| 34 | 199 |
| 0 | 200 .TP |
| 34 | 201 \fBexpand_h_sender_address\fR = \fIboolean\fR |
| 0 | 202 |
| 34 | 203 This sets the domain of the sender address as given by the Sender: header |
| 204 to the same address as in the envelope return path address | |
| 205 (which can be set by either \fBset_return_path_domain\fR or \fBmap_return_path_addresses\fR). | |
| 206 This is for mail clients (eg. Microsoft Outlook) which use this address as the sender address. | |
| 207 Though they should use the From: address, see RFC 821. | |
| 208 If \fBfetchmail(1)\fR encounters an unqualified Sender: address, | |
| 209 it will be expanded to the domain of the pop server, which is almost never correct. | |
| 210 Default is true. | |
| 211 | |
| 0 | 212 .TP |
| 34 | 213 \fBexpand_h_sender_domain\fR = \fIboolean\fR |
| 0 | 214 |
| 34 | 215 Like \fBexpand_h_sender_address\fR, but sets the domain only. |
| 216 Deprecated, will be removed in a later version. | |
| 217 | |
| 0 | 218 .TP |
| 34 | 219 \fBlast_route\fR = \fIboolean\fR |
| 0 | 220 |
| 34 | 221 If this is set, a mail which would have been delivered using this route, |
| 222 but has failed temporarily, will not be tried to be delivered using the next route. | |
| 0 | 223 |
| 34 | 224 If you have set up a special route with filters using the lists `allowed_rcpt_domains', |
| 225 `allowed_return_paths', and `allowed_mail_locals' or their complements (not_), | |
| 226 and the mail passing these rules should be delivered using this route only, | |
| 227 you should set this to `true'. | |
| 228 Otherwise the mail would be passed to the next route (if any), | |
| 229 unless that route has rules which prevent that. | |
| 0 | 230 |
| 231 Default is false. | |
| 34 | 232 |
| 0 | 233 .TP |
| 34 | 234 \fBauth_name\fR = \fIstring\fR |
| 0 | 235 |
| 34 | 236 Set the authentication type for ESMTP AUTH authentication. |
| 237 Currently only `cram-md5' and `login' are supported. | |
| 238 | |
| 0 | 239 .TP |
| 34 | 240 \fBauth_login\fR = \fIstring\fR |
| 0 | 241 |
| 24 | 242 Your account name for ESMTP AUTH authentication. |
| 34 | 243 |
| 0 | 244 .TP |
| 34 | 245 \fBauth_secret\fR = \fIstring\fR |
| 0 | 246 |
| 24 | 247 Your secret for ESMTP AUTH authentication. |
| 34 | 248 |
| 0 | 249 .TP |
| 34 | 250 \fBpop3_login\fR = \fIfile\fR |
| 0 | 251 |
| 34 | 252 If your Mail server requires SMTP-after-POP, |
| 253 set this to a get configuration (see \fBmasqmail.get(5)\fR). | |
| 254 If you login to the POP server before you send, this is not necessary. | |
| 0 | 255 |
| 34 | 256 .TP |
| 257 \fBwrapper\fR = \fIcommand\fR | |
| 0 | 258 |
| 34 | 259 If set, instead of opening a connection to a remote server, |
| 260 \fIcommand\fR will be called and all traffic will be piped to its stdin and from its stdout. | |
| 261 Purpose is to tunnel ip traffic, eg. for ssl. | |
| 0 | 262 |
| 263 Example for ssl tunneling: | |
| 264 | |
| 16 | 265 wrapper="/usr/bin/openssl s_client \-quiet \-connect pop.gmx.net:995 2>/dev/null" |
| 34 | 266 |
| 0 | 267 .TP |
| 34 | 268 \fBpipe\fR = \fIcommand\fR |
| 0 | 269 |
| 34 | 270 If set, and protocol is set to `pipe', |
| 271 \fIcommand\fR will be called and the message will be piped to its stdin. | |
| 272 Purpose is to use gateways to uucp, fax, sms or whatever else. | |
| 0 | 273 |
| 34 | 274 You can use variables to give as arguments to the command, |
| 275 these are the same as for the mda in the main configuration, see \fBmasqmail.conf(5)\fR. | |
| 276 | |
| 0 | 277 .TP |
| 34 | 278 \fBpipe_fromline = \fIboolean\fR |
| 0 | 279 |
| 34 | 280 If this is set, and protocol is set to `pipe', |
| 281 a from line will be prepended to the output stream whenever a pipe command is called. | |
| 282 Default is false. | |
| 0 | 283 |
| 284 .TP | |
| 34 | 285 \fBpipe_fromhack = \fIboolean\fR |
| 0 | 286 |
| 34 | 287 If this is set, and protocol is set to `pipe', |
| 288 each line beginning with `From ' is replaced with `>From ' whenever a pipe command is called. | |
| 289 You probably want this if you have set \fBpipe_fromline\fR above. | |
| 290 Default is false. | |
