.Dt proxsmtpd.conf 5
.Os proxsmtp 
.Sh NAME
.Nm proxsmtpd.conf
.Nd the configuration file for 
.Xr proxsmtpd 8
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Xr proxsmtpd 8
reads a configuration file when starting up. The location of the file is dependent
on how you compiled proxsmtp but it should usually be in either the
.Pa /usr/local/etc/
or 
.Pa /etc/
directories. If 
.Xr proxsmtpd 8
does not find it's configuration file it'll print a warning when it starts up along
with the location it's expecting to find it in. You can also specify a different 
location for a config file by passing the 
.Fl f
argument to 
.Xr proxsmtpd 8
.Pp
The settings are specified one per line. The setting names comes first, followed
by a colon and then the value. Comments start with the '#' character on a line 
of their own. Whitespace is ignored at the beginning of line, end of line and 
around the colons. 
.Pp
A sample configuration file can be found in the 
.Pa doc/
directory of the proxsmtp distribution.
.Sh SETTINGS
The various settings are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Fl
.It Ar FilterCommand
This is the command used to filter email through. If not specified then no 
filtering will be done. Specify all the arguments the command needs as you 
would on a command-line. 
[ Default: no filtering ]
.It Ar FilterTimeout
The amount of time in seconds to wait for the 
.Ar FilterCommand
to process email data.
[ Default: 30 seconds ] 
.It Ar FilterType
When set to 'pipe' the email data is piped through the 
.Ar FilterCommand
using standard in and standard out. When set to 'file' the email data is saved
to a file and the file name is passed to the 
.Ar FilterCommand
using the 
.Ar EMAIL
environment variable.
.It Ar Listen
The address and port to listen for SMTP connections on. See syntax of 
addresses below. 
[ Default: port 10025 on all local IP addresses ] 
.It Ar MaxConnections
Specifies the maximum number of connections to accept at once. 
[ Default: 64 ]
.It Ar OutAddress
The address of the SMTP server to send email to once it's been scanned. See 
syntax of addreses below. 
[ Required ]
.It Ar TempDirectory
The directory to write temp files too. 
[ Default:
.Pa /tmp
]
.It Ar TimeOut
The number of seconds to wait while reading data from network connections.
[ Default: 180 seconds ]
.It Ar TransparentProxy
This option enables transparent proxy support, which allows you to route all 
SMTP traffic that's going through a gateway through proxsmtp which will then 
send it on to its final destination. This setup usually involves firewall 
rules which redirect traffic to proxsmtp, and the setup varies from OS to OS.
.It Ar User
The user to run as. If this option is specified then
.Xr proxsmtpd 8
must be started as root. It will then drop root privileges and run as the 
specified user. The user can either be a name or a numerical user id.
.El
.Sh ADDRESSES
Addresses can be specified in multiple formats:
.Bl -bullet
.It 
Unix local addresses can be specified by specifying their full path. 
(ie: '/var/run/socket').
.It 
IP addresses can be specified using dotted notation with a colon before
the port number (ie: '127.0.0.1:3310').
.It 
IPv6 addresses are implemented but disabled. The code needs testing.
