If this is not set, +\fBhost_name\fR from \fImasqmail.conf\fR will be used, +if the \fBdo_correct_helo\fR option (see below) is unset. + +.TP +\fBdo_correct_helo\fR = \fIboolean\fR + +If this is set, masqmail tries to look up your host name as it appears +on the internet and sends this in the HELO/EHLO command. +Some servers are so picky that they want this. +Which is really crazy. +It just does not make any sense to lie about ones own identity, +because it can always be looked up by the server. +Nobody should believe in the name given by HELO/EHLO anyway. +If this is not set, \fBhost_name\fR from \fImasqmail.conf\fR or as given with +the \fBhelo_name\fR (see above) will be used. + +.TP +\fBdo_pipelining\fR = \fIboolean\fR + +If this is set to false, masqmail will not use ESMTP PIPELINING, +even if the server announces that it is able to cope with it. +Default is true. + +You do not want to set this to false unless the mail setup on the +remote server side is really broken. +Keywords: wingate. + +.TP +\fBallowed_mail_locals\fR = \fIlist\fR + +This is a semicolon `;' separated list of local parts which will be allowed +to send mail through this connection. +If unset and \fBnot_allowed_mail_locals\fR is also unset, all users are allowed. + +.TP +\fBnot_allowed_mail_locals\fR = \fIlist\fR + +This is a semicolon `;' separated list of local parts which will be not allowed +to send mail through this connection. +Local parts in this list will not be allowed to use this route even if they +are part of \fBallowed_mail_locals\fR (see above). + +.TP +\fBallowed_return_paths\fR = \fIlist\fR + +This is a semicolon `;' separated list of addresses. +Messages which have one one of these addresses as the return path will be used using this route +(if not also in \fBnot_allowed_return_paths\fR or an item in \fBnot_allowed_mail_locals\fR matches). + +Patterns containing `?' and `*' can be used. +The special item "<>" matches the null sender address (eg. failure notices or delivery notifications). + +.TP +\fBnot_allowed_return_paths\fR = \fIlist\fR + +This is a semicolon `;' separated list of addresses. +Messages which have one one of these addresses as the return path will not +be used using this route (even if also in \fBallowed_return_paths\fR +or an item in \fBallowed_mail_locals\fR matches). + +Patterns containing `?' and `*' can be used. +The special item "<>" matches the null sender address (eg. failure notices or delivery notifications). + +.TP +\fBallowed_rcpt_domains\fR = \fIlist\fR + +A list of recipient domains where mail will be sent to. +This is for example useful if you use this route configuration when connected to another LAN via ppp. +Patterns containing `?' and `*' can be used. + +.TP +\fBnot_allowed_rcpt_domains\fR = \fIlist\fR + +A list of recipient domains where mail will not be sent to. +This is for example useful if you send mail directly (\fBmail_host\fR is not set) +and you know of hosts that will not accept mail from you because they use a dialup list +(eg. \fBhttp://maps.vix.com/dul/\fR). +If any domain matches both \fBallowed_rcpt_domains\fR and \fBnot_allowed_rcpt_domains\fR, +mail will not be sent to this domain. +Patterns containing `?' and `*' can be used. + +.TP +\fBset_h_from_domain\fR = \fIstring\fR + +Replace the domain part in `From:' headers with this value. +This may be useful if you use a private, outside unknown address on your local LAN +and want this to be replaced by the domain of the address of your email addrsss on the internet. +Note that this is different to \fBset_return_path_domain\fR, see below. + +.TP +\fBset_return_path_domain\fR = \fIstring\fR + +Sets the domain part of the envelope from address. +Some hosts check whether this is the same as the net the connection is coming from. +If not, they reject the mail because they suspect spamming. +It should be a valid address, because some mail servers also check that. +You can also use this to set it to your usual address on the internet +and put a local address only known on your LAN in the configuration of your mailer. +Only the domain part will be changed, the local part remains unchanged. +Use \fBmap_return_path_addresses\fR for rewriting local parts. + +.TP +\fBmap_h_from_addresses\fR = \fIlist\fR + +This is similar to \fBset_h_from_domain\fR, but more flexible. +Set this to a list which maps local parts to a full RFC 822 compliant email address, +the local parts (the keys) are separated from the addresses (the values) by colons (`:'). + +Example: + +map_h_from_addresses = "john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu>; charlie: Charlie Miller <cmiller@mx.commercial.com>" + +You can use patterns, eg. * as keys. + +.TP +\fBmap_h_reply_to_addresses\fR = \fIlist\fR + +Same as \fBmap_h_from_addresses\fR, but for the `Reply-To:' header. + +.TP +\fBmap_h_mail_followup_to_addresses\fR = \fIlist\fR + +Same as \fBmap_h_from_addresses\fR, but for the `Mail-Followup-To:' header. +Useful when replying to mailing lists. + +.TP +\fBmap_return_path_addresses\fR = \fIlist\fR + +This is similar to \fBset_return_path_domain\fR, but more flexible. +Set this to a list which maps local parts to a full RFC 821 compliant email address, +the local parts (the keys) are separated from the addresses (the values) by colons (`:'). +Note that this option takes RFC 821 addresses while \fBmap_h_from_addresses\fR takes RFC 822 addresses. +The most important difference is that RFC 821 addresses have no full name. + +Example: + +map_return_path_addresses = "john: <jsmith@mail.academic.edu>; charlie: <cmiller@mx.commercial.com>" + +You can use patterns, eg. * as keys. + +.TP +\fBexpand_h_sender_address\fR = \fIboolean\fR + +This sets the domain of the sender address as given by the Sender: header +to the same address as in the envelope return path address +(which can be set by either \fBset_return_path_domain\fR or \fBmap_return_path_addresses\fR). +This is for mail clients (eg. Microsoft Outlook) which use this address as the sender address. +Though they should use the From: address, see RFC 821. +If \fBfetchmail(1)\fR encounters an unqualified Sender: address, +it will be expanded to the domain of the pop server, which is almost never correct. +Default is true. + +.TP +\fBexpand_h_sender_domain\fR = \fIboolean\fR + +Like \fBexpand_h_sender_address\fR, but sets the domain only. +Deprecated, will be removed in a later version. + +.TP +\fBlast_route\fR = \fIboolean\fR + +If this is set, a mail which would have been delivered using this route, +but has failed temporarily, will not be tried to be delivered using the next route. + +If you have set up a special route with filters using the lists `allowed_rcpt_domains', +`allowed_return_paths', and `allowed_mail_locals' or their complements (not_), +and the mail passing these rules should be delivered using this route only, +you should set this to `true'. +Otherwise the mail would be passed to the next route (if any), +unless that route has rules which prevent that. + +Default is false. + +.TP +\fBauth_name\fR = \fIstring\fR + +Set the authentication type for ESMTP AUTH authentication. +Currently only `cram-md5' and `login' are supported. + +.TP +\fBauth_login\fR = \fIstring\fR + +Your account name for ESMTP AUTH authentication. + +.TP +\fBauth_secret\fR = \fIstring\fR + +Your secret for ESMTP AUTH authentication. + +.TP +\fBpop3_login\fR = \fIfile\fR + +If your Mail server requires SMTP-after-POP, +set this to a get configuration (see \fBmasqmail.get(5)\fR). +If you login to the POP server before you send, this is not necessary. + +.TP +\fBwrapper\fR = \fIcommand\fR + +If set, instead of opening a connection to a remote server, +\fIcommand\fR will be called and all traffic will be piped to its stdin and from its stdout. +Purpose is to tunnel ip traffic, eg. for ssl. + +Example for ssl tunneling: + +wrapper="/usr/bin/openssl s_client \-quiet \-connect pop.gmx.net:995 2>/dev/null" + +.TP +\fBpipe\fR = \fIcommand\fR + +If set, and protocol is set to `pipe', +\fIcommand\fR will be called and the message will be piped to its stdin. +Purpose is to use gateways to uucp, fax, sms or whatever else. + +You can use variables to give as arguments to the command, +these are the same as for the mda in the main configuration, see \fBmasqmail.conf(5)\fR. + +.TP +\fBpipe_fromline = \fIboolean\fR + +If this is set, and protocol is set to `pipe', +a from line will be prepended to the output stream whenever a pipe command is called. +Default is false. + +.TP +\fBpipe_fromhack = \fIboolean\fR + +If this is set, and protocol is set to `pipe', +each line beginning with `From ' is replaced with `>From ' whenever a pipe command is called. +You probably want this if you have set \fBpipe_fromline\fR above. +Default is false. + + +.SH AUTHOR + +Masqmail was written by Oliver Kurth. +It is now maintained by Markus Schnalke <meillo@marmaro.de>. + +You will find the newest version of masqmail at \fBhttp://prog.marmaro.de/masqmail/\fR. +There is also a mailing list, you will find information about it at masqmail's main site. + + +.SH BUGS + +Please report bugs to the mailing list. + +.SH SEE ALSO + +\fBmasqmail(8)\fR, \fBmasqmail.conf(5)\fR, \fBmasqmail.get(5)\fR
