meillo@34 5
meillo@34 6
meillo@0 7 .SH DESCRIPTION
meillo@0 8
meillo@34 9 This man page describes the syntax of the main configuration file of masqmail.
meillo@34 10 Its usual location is \fI/etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf\fR
meillo@0 11
meillo@0 12 The configuration consists of lines of the form
meillo@0 13
meillo@34 14 \fBval\fR = \fIexpression\fR
meillo@0 15
meillo@34 16 Where \fBval\fR is a variable name and \fIexpression\fR a string,
meillo@34 17 which can be quoted with double quotes `"'.
meillo@34 18 If the expression is on multiple lines or contains characters other than letters,
meillo@115 19 digits or the characters `.', `-', `_', `/', ';', '@', ':' it must be quoted.
meillo@34 20 You can use quotes inside quotes by escaping them with a backslash.
meillo@0 21
meillo@34 22 Each val has a type, which can be boolean, numeric, string or list.
meillo@34 23 A boolean variable can be set with one of the values `on', `yes', and `true' or `off', `no' and `false'.
meillo@34 24 List items are separated with semicolons `;'.
meillo@34 25 For some values patterns (like `*',`?') can be used.
meillo@34 26 The spaces before and after the equal sign `=' are optional.
meillo@0 27
meillo@34 28 Most lists (exceptions: \fBlocal_hosts\fR, \fBlocal_nets\fR, \fBlisten_addresses\fR,
meillo@139 29 \fBonline_routes\fR, and \fBonline_gets\fR) accept files.
meillo@34 30 These will be recognized by a leading slash `/'.
meillo@34 31 The contents of these files will be included at the position of the file name,
meillo@34 32 there can be items or other files before and after the file entry.
meillo@34 33 The format of the files is different though, within these files each entry is on another line.
meillo@34 34 (And not separated by semicolons).
meillo@34 35 This makes it easy to include large lists which are common in different configuration files,
meillo@34 36 so they do not have to appear in every configuration file.
meillo@0 37
meillo@34 38 Blank lines and lines starting with a hash `#' are ignored.

meillo@34 42
meillo@0 43 .TP
meillo@34 44 \fBrun_as_user = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 45
meillo@34 46 If this is set, masqmail runs with the user id of the user who invoked it and never changes it.
meillo@34 47 This is for debugging purposes only.
meillo@34 48 If the user is not root, masqmail will not be able to listen on a port < 1024
meillo@34 49 and will not be able to deliver local mail to others than the user.
meillo@0 50
meillo@0 51 .TP
meillo@34 52 \fBuse_syslog = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 53
meillo@34 54 If this is set, masqmail uses syslogd for logging.
meillo@34 55 It uses facility MAIL.
meillo@34 56 You still have to set \fBlog_dir\fR for debug files.
meillo@0 57
meillo@0 58 .TP
meillo@34 59 \fBdebug_level = \fIn\fR
meillo@0 60
meillo@34 61 Set the debug level.
meillo@34 62 Valid values are 0 to 6, increasing it further makes no difference.
meillo@34 63 Be careful if you set this as high as 5 or higher, the logs may very soon fill your hard drive.
meillo@0 64
meillo@0 65 .TP
meillo@44 66 \fBlog_dir = \fIfile\fR
meillo@44 67
meillo@44 68 The directory where log are stored, if syslog is not used.
meillo@44 69 Debug files are stored in this directory anyways.
meillo@44 70 \fIfile\fR must be an absolute path.
meillo@44 71
meillo@151 72 Default: \fI/var/log/masqmail\fR
meillo@151 73
meillo@44 74 .TP
meillo@34 75 \fBmail_dir = \fIfile\fR
meillo@0 76
meillo@34 77 The directory where local mail is stored, usually \fI/var/spool/mail\fR or \fI/var/mail\fR.
meillo@44 78 \fIfile\fR must be an absolute path.
meillo@0 79
meillo@152 80 Default: \fI/var/mail\fR
meillo@152 81
meillo@0 82 .TP
meillo@34 83 \fBspool_dir = \fIfile\fR
meillo@0 84
meillo@34 85 The directory where masqmail stores its spool files (and later also other stuff).
meillo@34 86 It must have a subdirectory \fIinput\fR.
meillo@34 87 Masqmail needs read and write permissions for this directory.
meillo@44 88 \fIfile\fR must be an absolute path.
meillo@0 89
meillo@151 90 Default: \fI/var/spool/masqmail\fR
meillo@151 91
meillo@0 92 .TP
meillo@133 93 \fBlock_dir = \fIfile\fR
meillo@133 94
meillo@133 95 The directory where masqmail stores its lock files.
meillo@133 96 Masqmail needs read and write permissions for this directory.
meillo@133 97 By default it is a directory ``lock'' inside of \fIspool_dir\fP.
meillo@133 98 \fIfile\fR must be an absolute path.
meillo@133 99
meillo@133 100 .TP
meillo@34 101 \fBhost_name = \fIstring\fR
meillo@0 102
meillo@34 103 This is used in different places: Masqmail identifies itself in the greeting banner
meillo@34 104 on incoming connections and in the HELO/EHLO command for outgoing connections with this name,
meillo@34 105 it is used in the Received: header and to qualify the sender of a locally originating message.
meillo@0 106
meillo@34 107 If the string begins with a slash `/', it it assumed that it is a filename,
meillo@34 108 and the first line of this file will be used.
meillo@34 109 Usually this will be `/etc/mailname' to make masqmail conform to Debian policies.
meillo@0 110
meillo@34 111 It is not used to find whether an address is local. Use \fBlocal_hosts\fR for that.
meillo@0 112
meillo@156 113 Default: none; \fBhost_name\fP MUST be set in the config file
meillo@156 114
meillo@0 115 .TP
meillo@34 116 \fBremote_port = \fIn\fR
meillo@0 117
meillo@0 118 The remote port number to be used. This defaults to port 25.
meillo@0 119
meillo@34 120 This option is deprecated.
meillo@34 121 Use \fBhost_name\fR in the route configuration instead.
meillo@34 122 See \fBmasqmail.route(5)\fR.
meillo@34 123
meillo@0 124 .TP
meillo@34 125 \fBlocal_hosts = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 126
meillo@34 127 A semicolon `;' separated list of hostnames which are considered local.
meillo@153 128 Normally you should set it to "localhost;foo;foo.bar.com" if your host has the
meillo@34 129 fully qualified domain name `foo.bar.com'.
meillo@0 130
meillo@153 131 Default: \fIlocalhost\fR
meillo@153 132
meillo@0 133 .TP
meillo@34 134 \fBlocal_nets = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 135
meillo@34 136 A semicolon `;' separated list of hostnames which are on the `local' net.
meillo@34 137 Delivery to these hosts is attempted immediately.
meillo@34 138 You can use patterns with `*', e.g. "*.bar.com".
meillo@0 139
meillo@0 140 .TP
meillo@34 141 \fBlocal_addresses = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 142
meillo@34 143 A semicolon `;' separated list of fully qualified email-addresses which are
meillo@34 144 considered local although their domain name part is not in the list of \fBlocal_hosts\fR.
meillo@0 145
meillo@34 146 For example: There are two people working at your LAN: person1@yourdomain and person2@yourdomain.
meillo@34 147 But there are other persons @yourdomain which are NOT local.
meillo@34 148 So you can not put yourdomain to the list of local_hosts.
meillo@34 149 If person1 now wants to write to person2@yourdomain and this mail should not leave the LAN then you can put
meillo@0 150
meillo@0 151 local_addresses = "person1@yourdomain;person2@yourdomain"
meillo@0 152
meillo@0 153 to your masqmail.conf.
meillo@34 154
meillo@0 155 .TP
meillo@34 156 \fBnot_local_addresses = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 157
meillo@34 158 A semicolon `;' separated list of fully qualified email-addresses which are
meillo@34 159 considered not local although their domain name part is in the list of \fBlocal_hosts\fR.
meillo@0 160
meillo@34 161 This is the opposite of the previous case.
meillo@34 162 The majority of addresses of a specific domain are local.
meillo@34 163 But some users are not.
meillo@34 164 With this option you can easily exclude these users.
meillo@0 165
meillo@0 166 Example:
meillo@0 167
meillo@0 168 local_hosts = "localhost;myhost;mydomain.net"
meillo@0 169
meillo@0 170 not_local_addresses = "eric@mydomain.net"
meillo@34 171
meillo@0 172 .TP
meillo@34 173 \fBlisten_addresses = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 174
meillo@34 175 A semicolon `;' separated list of interfaces on which connections will be accepted.
meillo@34 176 An interface ist defined by a hostname, optionally followed by a colon `:' and a number for the port.
meillo@34 177 If this is left out, port 25 will be used.
meillo@0 178
meillo@34 179 You can set this to "localhost:25;foo:25" if your hostname is `foo'.
meillo@0 180
meillo@34 181 Note that the names are resolved to IP addreses.
meillo@34 182 If your host has different names which resolve to the same IP,
meillo@34 183 use only one of them, otherwise you will get an error message.
meillo@0 184
meillo@0 185 .TP
meillo@34 186 \fBdo_save_envelope_to = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 187
meillo@34 188 If this is set to true, a possibly existing Envelope-to: header in an incoming mail
meillo@34 189 which is received via either pop3 or smtp will be saved as an X-Orig-Envelope-to: header.
meillo@0 190
meillo@34 191 This is useful if you retrieve mail from a pop3 server with either masqmail or fetchmail,
meillo@34 192 and the server supports Envelope-to: headers,
meillo@34 193 and you want to make use of those with a mail filtering tool, e.g. procmail.
meillo@34 194 It cannot be preserved because masqmail sets such a header by itself.
meillo@0 195
meillo@0 196 Default is false.
meillo@34 197
meillo@0 198 .TP
meillo@34 199 \fBdo_relay = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 200
meillo@34 201 If this is set to false, mail with a return path that is not local and a destination
meillo@34 202 that is also not local will not be accepted via smtp and a 550 reply will be given.
meillo@34 203 Default is true.
meillo@0 204
meillo@34 205 Note that this will not protect you from spammers using open relays,
meillo@34 206 but from users unable to set their address in their mail clients.
meillo@0 207
meillo@0 208 .TP
meillo@34 209 \fBdo_queue = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 210
meillo@34 211 If this is set, mail will not be delivered immediately when accepted.
meillo@34 212 Same as calling masqmail with the \fB\-odq\fR option.
meillo@0 213
meillo@0 214 .TP
meillo@34 215 \fBonline_routes.\fIname\fR = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 216
meillo@34 217 Replace \fIname\fR with a name to identify a connection.
meillo@34 218 Set this to a filename (or a list of filenames) for the special route configuration for that connection.
meillo@34 219 You will use that name to call masqmail with the \fB\-qo\fR option every time a
meillo@34 220 connection to your ISP is set up.
meillo@0 221
meillo@34 222 Example: Your ISP has the name FastNet.
meillo@34 223 Then you write the following line in the main configuration:
meillo@0 224
meillo@139 225 \fBonline_routes.FastNet\fR = \fI"/etc/masqmail/fastnet.route"\fR
meillo@0 226
meillo@34 227 \fI/etc/masqmail/fastnet.route\fR is the route configuration file, see \fBmasqmail.route(5)\fR.
meillo@34 228 As soon as a link to FastNet has been set up, you call masqmail \fB\-qo \fIFastNet\fR.
meillo@34 229 Masqmail will then read the specified file and send the mails.
meillo@0 230
meillo@0 231 .TP
meillo@34 232 \fBconnect_route.\fIname\fR = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 233
meillo@34 234 Old name for \fBonline_routes\fR.
meillo@0 235
meillo@0 236 .TP
meillo@34 237 \fBlocal_net_route = \fIfile\fR
meillo@0 238
meillo@34 239 This is similar to \fBonline_routes.\fIname\fR but for the local net.
meillo@34 240 Recipient addresses that are in local_nets will be routed using this route configuration.
meillo@34 241 Main purpose is to define a mail server with mail_host in your local network.
meillo@34 242 In simple environments this can be left unset.
meillo@34 243 If unset, a default route configuration will be used.
meillo@0 244
meillo@0 245 .TP
meillo@34 246 \fBalias_file = \fIfile\fR
meillo@0 247
meillo@34 248 Set this to the location of your alias file.
meillo@34 249 If unset, no aliasing will be done.
meillo@0 250
meillo@0 251 .TP
meillo@34 252 \fBalias_local_caseless = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 253
meillo@0 254 If this is set, local parts in the alias file will be matched disregarding upper/lower case.
meillo@34 255
meillo@0 256 .TP
meillo@34 257 \fBpipe_fromline = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 258
meillo@34 259 If this is set, a from line will be prepended to the output stream whenever
meillo@34 260 a pipe command is called after an alias expansion.
meillo@34 261 Default is false.
meillo@0 262
meillo@0 263 .TP
meillo@34 264 \fBpipe_fromhack = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 265
meillo@34 266 If this is set, each line beginning with `From ' is replaced with `>From '
meillo@34 267 whenever a pipe command is called after an alias expansion.
meillo@34 268 You probably want this if you have set \fBpipe_fromline\fR above.
meillo@34 269 Default is false.
meillo@0 270
meillo@0 271 .TP
meillo@34 272 \fBmbox_default = \fIstring\fR
meillo@0 273
meillo@34 274 The default local delivery method.
meillo@34 275 Can be one of mbox, mda or maildir (the latter only if maildir support is enabled at compile time).
meillo@34 276 Default is mbox.
meillo@34 277 You can override this for each user by using the \fBmbox_users\fR, \fBmda_users\fR,
meillo@34 278 or \fBmaildir_users\fR options (see below).
meillo@0 279
meillo@0 280 .TP
meillo@34 281 \fBmbox_users = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 282
meillo@0 283 A list of users which wish delivery to an mbox style mail folder.
meillo@34 284
meillo@0 285 .TP
meillo@34 286 \fBmda_users = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 287
meillo@34 288 A list of users which wish local delivery to an mda.
meillo@34 289 You have to set \fBmda\fR (see below) as well.
meillo@0 290
meillo@0 291 .TP
meillo@34 292 \fBmaildir_users = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 293
meillo@34 294 A list of users which wish delivery to a qmail style maildir.
meillo@34 295 The path to maildir is ~/Maildir/.
meillo@34 296 The maildir will be created if it does not exist.
meillo@0 297
meillo@0 298 .TP
meillo@34 299 \fBmda = \fIexpand string\fR
meillo@0 300
meillo@34 301 If you want local delivery to be transferred to an mda (Mail Delivery Agent),
meillo@34 302 set this to a command.
meillo@34 303 The argument will be expanded on delivery time,
meillo@34 304 you can use variables beginning with a dolloar sign `$', optionally enclosed in curly braces.
meillo@34 305 Variables you can use are:
meillo@0 306
meillo@34 307 uid - the unique message id.
meillo@34 308 This is not necessarily identical with the Message ID as given in the Message ID: header.
meillo@0 309
meillo@0 310 received_host - the host the mail was received from
meillo@0 311
meillo@34 312 ident - the ident, this is either the ident delivered by the ident protocol
meillo@34 313 or the user id of the sender if the message was received locally.
meillo@0 314
meillo@0 315 return_path_local - the local part of the return path (sender).
meillo@0 316
meillo@0 317 return_path_domain - the domain part of the return path (sender).
meillo@0 318
meillo@0 319 return_path - the complete return path (sender).
meillo@0 320
meillo@0 321 rcpt_local - the local part of the recipient.
meillo@0 322
meillo@0 323 rcpt_domain - the domain part of the recipient.
meillo@0 324
meillo@0 325 rcpt - the complete recipient address.
meillo@0 326
meillo@0 327 Example:
meillo@0 328
meillo@16 329 mda="/usr/bin/procmail \-Y \-d ${rcpt_local}"
meillo@0 330
meillo@34 331 For the mda, as for pipe commands, a few environment variables will be set as well.
meillo@34 332 See \fBmasqmail(8)\fR.
meillo@34 333 To use environment variables for the mda, the dollar sign `$' has to be escaped with a backslash,
meillo@34 334 otherwise they will be tried to be expanded with the internal variables.
meillo@34 335
meillo@0 336 .TP
meillo@34 337 \fBmda_fromline = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 338
meillo@34 339 If this is set, a from line will be prepended to the output stream whenever
meillo@34 340 a message is delivered to an mda.
meillo@34 341 Default is false.
meillo@0 342
meillo@0 343 .TP
meillo@34 344 \fBmda_fromhack = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@0 345
meillo@34 346 If this is set, each line beginning with `From ' is replaced with `>From '
meillo@34 347 whenever a message is delivered to an mda.
meillo@34 348 You probably want this if you have set \fBmda_fromline\fR above.
meillo@34 349 Default is false.
meillo@0 350
meillo@0 351 .TP
meillo@34 352 \fBonline_detect = \fIstring\fR
meillo@0 353
meillo@34 354 Defines the method masqmail uses to detect whether there is currently an online connection.
meillo@112 355 It can have the values \fIfile\fR, \fIpipe\fR, or \fImserver\fR.
meillo@0 356
meillo@112 357 When it is set to \fIfile\fR, masqmail first checks for the existence of \fBonline_file\fR
meillo@34 358 (see below) and if it exists, it reads it.
meillo@34 359 The content of the file should be the name of the current connection as defined
meillo@34 360 with \fBconnect_route.\fIname\fR (trailing whitespace is removed).
meillo@0 361
meillo@112 362 When it is set to \fIpipe\fR, masqmail calls the executable given by the
meillo@34 363 \fBonline_pipe\fR option (see below) and reads the current online status from its standard output.
meillo@0 364
meillo@112 365 When it is set to \fImserver\fR, masqmail connects to the masqdialer server
meillo@34 366 using the value of \fBmserver_iface\fR and asks it whether a connection exists and for the name,
meillo@34 367 which should be the name of the current connection as defined with \fBconnect_route.\fIname\fR.
meillo@92 368 \fBThe mserver detection method is OBSOLETE.\fR
meillo@92 369 See mserver_iface for a note on how to replace it.
meillo@0 370
meillo@34 371 No matter how masqmail detects the online status,
meillo@34 372 only messages that are accepted at online time will be delivered using the connection.
meillo@34 373 The spool still has to be emptied with masqmail \fB\-qo\fIconnection\fR.
meillo@0 374
meillo@0 375 .TP
meillo@34 376 \fBonline_file = \fIfile\fR
meillo@0 377
meillo@34 378 This is the name of the file checked for when masqmail determines whether it is online.
meillo@34 379 The file should only exist when there is currently a connection.
meillo@34 380 Create it in your ip-up script with e.g.
meillo@0 381
meillo@92 382 echo "connection-name" >/var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route
meillo@0 383
meillo@37 384 chmod 0644 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route
meillo@0 385
meillo@0 386 Do not forget to delete it in your ip-down script.
meillo@34 387
meillo@0 388 .TP
meillo@34 389 \fBonline_pipe = \fIfile\fR
meillo@0 390
meillo@34 391 This is the name of the executable which will be called to determine the online status.
meillo@34 392 This executable should just print the name of the current connection to
meillo@34 393 the standard output and return a zero status code.
meillo@34 394 masqmail assumes it is offline if the script returns with a non zero status.
meillo@34 395 Simple example:
meillo@0 396
meillo@0 397 #!/bin/sh
meillo@0 398
meillo@37 399 [ \-e /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route ] || exit 1

meillo@0 402
meillo@0 403 exit 0
meillo@0 404
meillo@129 405 Of course, instead of the example above you could as well use \fIfile\fR as
meillo@34 406 the online detection method, but you can do something more sophisticated.

meillo@34 419 The interface the masqdialer server is listening to.
meillo@34 420 Usually this will be "localhost:224" if mserver is running on the same host as masqmail.
meillo@34 421 But using this option, you can also let masqmail run on another host by setting
meillo@34 422 \fBmserver_iface\fR to another hostname, e.g. "foo:224".

meillo@0 438 .TP
meillo@34 439 \fBident_trusted_nets = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 440
meillo@34 441 \fIlist\fR is a list of networks of the form a.b.c.d/e (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24),
meillo@34 442 from which the ident given by the ident protocol will be trusted,
meillo@34 443 so a user can delete his mail from the queue if the ident is identical to his login name.

meillo@0 445 .TP
meillo@34 446 \fBerrmsg_file = \fIfile\fR
meillo@0 447
meillo@34 448 Set this to a template which will be used to generate delivery failure reports.
meillo@34 449 Variable parts within the template begin with a dollar sign and are identical
meillo@34 450 to those which can be used as arguments for the mda command, see \fBmda\fR above.
meillo@34 451 Additional information can be included with @failed_rcpts, @msg_headers and @msg_body,
meillo@34 452 these must be at the beginning of a line and will be replaced with the list of the failed recipients,
meillo@34 453 the message headers and the message body of the failed message.
meillo@0 454

meillo@34 458 \fBwarnmsg_file = \fIfile\fR
meillo@0 459
meillo@34 460 Set this to a template which will be used to generate delivery warning reports.
meillo@34 461 It uses the same mechanisms for variables as \fBerrmsg_file\fR, see above.
meillo@0 462
meillo@0 463 Default is /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/warnmsg.tpl.
meillo@34 464
meillo@0 465 .TP
meillo@34 466 \fBwarn_intervals\fR = \fIlist\fR
meillo@0 467
meillo@34 468 Set this to a list of time intervals, at which delivery warnings
meillo@34 469 (starting with the receiving time of the message) shall be generated.
meillo@0 470
meillo@34 471 A warning will only be generated just after an attempt to deliver the mail
meillo@34 472 and if that attempt failed temporarily.
meillo@34 473 So a warning may be generated after a longer time, if there was no attempt before.
meillo@0 474
meillo@0 475 Default is "1h;4h;8h;1d;2d;3d"
meillo@34 476
meillo@0 477 .TP
meillo@34 478 \fBmax_defer_time\fR = \fItime\fR
meillo@0 479
meillo@34 480 This is the maximum time, in which a temporarily failed mail will be kept in the spool.
meillo@34 481 When this time is exceeded, it will be handled as a delivery failure,
meillo@34 482 and the message will be bounced.
meillo@0 483
meillo@34 484 The excedence of this time will only be noticed if the message was actually tried to be delivered.
meillo@34 485 If, for example, the message can only be delivered when online,
meillo@34 486 but you have not been online for that time, no bounce will be generated.
meillo@0 487
meillo@0 488 Default is 4d (4 days)

meillo@34 491 \fBlog_user = \fIname\fR
meillo@0 492
meillo@34 493 Replace \fIname\fR with a valid local or remote mail address.
meillo@0 494
meillo@44 495 If this option is set, then a copy of every mail,
meillo@44 496 that passes through the masqmail system will also be sent to the given mail address.
meillo@0 497
meillo@34 498 For example you can feed your mails into a program like hypermail
meillo@34 499 for archiving purpose by placing an appropriate pipe command in masqmail.alias

meillo@117 502 \fBmax_msg_size\fR = \fIbytes\fR
meillo@117 503
meillo@117 504 This option sets the maximum size in bytes masqmail will accept for delivery.
meillo@117 505 This value is advertised to the SMTP client by the `SIZE' message during SMTP
meillo@117 506 session setup.
meillo@117 507 Clients pretending to send, or actually send,
meillo@117 508 more than \fIbytes\fR will get a 552 error message.
meillo@117 509
meillo@120 510 `0' means no fixed maximum size limit is in force.
meillo@120 511
meillo@120 512 Default is 0 (= unlimited).

meillo@134 515 \fBdefer_all\fR = \fIboolean\fR
meillo@134 516
meillo@134 517 If set to true, masqmail replies with ``421 service temporarily unavailable''
meillo@134 518 to any SMTP request and shuts the connection down.
meillo@134 519 Note: This option is for debugging purposes only.
