First International Exim Conference 2005

Exim configuration at the University of Cambridge

I presented a paper at the First International Exim Conference about how we configure Exim for our central email systems.

You can read the paper in PostScript format or PDF format or bad HTML (groff isn't very good at producing HTML).

I used the figures from the paper and excerpts from the configuration files as transparencies for the talk:

• Architecture
• Personalities
• Keying off the interface address
• Interface address parameters (1)
• Interface address parameters (2)
• Personality-related trace information
• Submission RCPT ACL
• Server-side authentication
• Client-side authentication
• Smarthost RCPT ACL
• MX RCPT ACL
• Sender verification and anti-spam checks
• Pump-and-dump protection
• Routeing
• Lists of domains handled by ppswitch
• Routeing email over SMTP
• Routeing for virtual domains
• Dealing with @cam forwarding
• Routeing email to Hermes
• Special postmaster handling
• Stunt routers

You can also read the source files:

• Makefile

• arch.pic
• route.pic
• personalities.tbl

• configure-ppsw.txt
