| paul@955 | 2 | |
| paul@955 | 3 | The essential aspect of mail system configuration involves mail transports and |
| paul@955 | 4 | the integration of agent programs into the mail processing pipeline. A number of |
| paul@955 | 5 | example files are provided here. |
| paul@955 | 6 | |
| paul@955 | 7 | Such files need adjusting for the deployment environment so that, for example, |
| paul@955 | 8 | the `example.com` domain would be replaced with a suitable value. |
| paul@955 | 9 | |
| paul@955 | 10 | If LMTP is being used, instances of `LMTP_SOCKET` in the example configuration |
| paul@955 | 11 | files will need to be replaced with a suitable filesystem path. Where the `lmtp` |
| paul@955 | 12 | system group is employed, it may be replaced with a different group. See the |
| paul@955 | 13 | [[../LMTP|LMTP guide]] for a discussion of LMTP and mail delivery. |

| paul@955 | 15 | == Transports in Exim == |
| paul@955 | 16 | |
| paul@955 | 17 | Example configuration files for Exim are distributed in `conf/exim`: |

| paul@955 | 28 | }}} |
| paul@955 | 29 | |
| paul@955 | 30 | These files can be incorporated into the Exim configuration. On Debian |
| paul@955 | 31 | systems, they can be copied into `/etc/exim4/conf.d/transport`. |
| paul@955 | 32 | |
| paul@955 | 33 | If local SMTP delivery is being used, the `30_exim4-config_people` file (in |
| paul@955 | 34 | `conf/exim`) will need adjusting. |
| paul@955 | 35 | |
| paul@955 | 36 | == Transports in Postfix == |
| paul@955 | 37 | |
| paul@955 | 38 | Example configuration files for Postfix are distributed in `conf/postfix`: |

| paul@955 | 52 | |
| paul@955 | 53 | These files can be incorporated into the Postfix configuration. On Debian |
| paul@955 | 54 | systems, `master.cf.items` can be merged into `/etc/postfix/master.cf`, |
| paul@955 | 55 | whereas the remaining files would be installed into `/etc/postfix`. |
| paul@955 | 56 | |
| paul@955 | 57 | If local SMTP delivery is being used, the `master.cf.items` file (in |
| paul@955 | 58 | `conf/postfix`) will need adjusting. |
