setup exim on debian

我的debian版本:6.0.3,使用系统自带的exim,如果你的系统还没有安装exim,先装这几个包:

Shell:~ >: aptitude search exim | grep '^i'
i   exim4                           - metapackage to ease Exim MTA (v4) installa
i   exim4-base                      - support files for all Exim MTA (v4) packag
i   exim4-config                    - configuration for the Exim MTA (v4)
i   exim4-daemon-light              - lightweight Exim MTA (v4) daemon

设置你的/etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf

Shell:~ >: cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

可以装一下dnsmasq,避开那些讨厌的dns问题

Shell:~ >: aptitude search dnsmasq | grep '^i'
i   dnsmasq                         - A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP se
i A dnsmasq-base                    - A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP se
开始配置

假设我的域名为:number23.no.de,可以先写在/etc/hosts里,

sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

接下来就是按Enter选择了:

第一个, General type of mail configuration: internet site
第二个, System mail name: number23.no.de
第三个, IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections: 空白
第四个, Other destinations for which mail is accepted: localhost.localdomain:localhost:number23.no.de
第五个, Domains to relay mail for: 空白
第六个, Machines to relay mail for: 127.0.0.0/8:192.168.0.0/16:10.0.0.0/8
第七个, Keep number of DNS-queries minimal: No
第八个, Delivery method for local mail: /var/mail
第九个, Split configuration into small files: Yes 
看看弄出来的配置文件:

Shell:~ >: cat /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet'
dc_other_hostnames='localhost.localdomain:localhost:number23.no.de'
dc_local_interfaces=''
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets='127.0.0.0/8:192.168.0.0/16:10.0.0.0/8'
dc_smarthost=''
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='true'
dc_hide_mailname=''
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'

启动它:Shell:~ >: sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 start,具体选项详细参考man update-exim4.conf 和exim官方文档

优化选项

在 /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02exim4-configoptions 的最后面加上这些:

smtp_accept_max=256
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection=0
smtp_accept_queue=128
smtp_accept_reserve=20
deliver_queue_load_max=20
queue_only_load=20
queue_run_max=30
smtp_enforce_sync=false
message_size_limit=20M

修改MAINIGNOREBOUNCEERRORSAFTER, MAINTIMEOUTFROZEN_AFTER,

Shell:/etc/exim4/conf.d/main >: exim4 -bP | grep after
ignore_bounce_errors_after = 1d
timeout_frozen_after = 2d

注意

如果Split configuration into small files, 选择No的话, 这些修改都不会有效, exim -bP 查看所有选项。
smtpenforcesync: SMTP同步错误, 参考这里

qpopper/pop 优化选项
Shell:~ >: grep pop /etc/inetd.conf
##pop-3	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	/usr/sbin/in.qpopper -f /etc/qpopper.conf
pop-3	stream	tcp	nowait.512	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	/usr/sbin/in.qpopper -F -S -s -R -T 600
nowait.512: 每分钟最多可接受的连接请求数目
-F: enable-fast-update
-S: enable-server-mode
-s: status
-R: none dns lookup
-T: timeout
