.Sh NAME
.Nm smtpd.conf
.Nd Simple Mail Transfer Protocol daemon configuration file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is the configuration file for the mail daemon
.Xr smtpd 8 .
.Pp
The current line can be extended over multiple lines using a backslash
.Pq Sq \e .
Comments can be put anywhere in the file using a hash mark
.Pq Sq # ,
and extend to the end of the current line.
Care should be taken when commenting out multi-line text:
the comment is effective until the end of the entire block.
.Pp
Argument names not beginning with a letter, digit, or underscore
must be quoted.
Arguments containing whitespace should be surrounded by double quotes
.Pq \&" .
.Pp
Macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context.
Macro names must start with a letter, digit, or underscore,
and may contain any of those characters.
Macro names may not be reserved words (for example
.Ar listen ,
.Ar accept ,
.Ar port ) .
Macros are not expanded inside quotes.
.Pp
For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
lan_addr = "192.168.0.1"
listen on $lan_addr
listen on $lan_addr tls auth
.Ed
.Pp
Additional configuration files can be included with the
.Ic include
keyword, for example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
include "/etc/mail/smtpd.conf.local"
.Ed
.Pp
The syntax of
.Nm
is described below.
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ic accept | reject
.Xr smtpd 8
accepts and rejects messages
based on information gathered during the SMTP session.
.Pp
For each message processed by the daemon,
the rules are evaluated in sequential order,
from first to last.
The first matching rule decides what action is taken.
If no rule matches the message,
the default action is to reject the message.
An exclamation mark may be specified to perform a reverse match.
.Pp
Following the accept/reject
decision comes the optional tag matching:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Xo
.Ic tagged
.Op Ic \&!
.Ar tag
.Xc
If specified, the rule will only be matched if the client session was tagged with
.Ar tag .
.El
.Pp
After that the client's IP address rule is specified:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ic from any
Make the rule match regardless of the IP of connecting client.
.It Xo
.Ic from
.Op Ic \&!
.Ic local
.Xc
The rule matches only locally originating connections.
This is the default,
and may be omitted.
.It Xo
.Ic from
.Op Ic \&!
.Ic source
.Pf < Ar table Ns >
.Xc
The rule matches if the connection is made from a client whose address
is declared in the table
.Ar table .
.El
.Pp
In addition, finer access control may be achieved on the sender if desired:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Xo
.Ic sender
.Op Ic \&!
.Pf < Ar senders Ns >
.Xc
If specified, the rule will only be matched if the sender email address
is found in the table
.Ar senders .
The table may contain complete email addresses or apply to an entire
domain if prefixed with
.Sq @ .
.El

Mail is relayed.
The routing decision is based on the DNS system.
.Pp
If the
.Ic backup
parameter is specified, the current server will act as a backup server
for the target domain.
Accepted mails are only relayed through servers with a lower preference
value in the MX record for the domain than the one specified in
.Ar mx .
If
.Ar mx
is not specified, the default server name will be assumed.
.Pp
If the
.Ic as
parameter is specified,
.Xr smtpd 8
will rewrite the sender advertised
in the SMTP session.
.Ar address
may be a user, a domain prefixed with
.Sq @ ,
or an email address, causing
.Xr smtpd 8
to rewrite the user-part, the domain-part, or the entire address, respectively.
.Pp
If the
.Ic source
parameter is specified,
.Xr smtpd 8
will explicitly bind to an address found in the table referenced by
.Ar source
when connecting to the relay.
If the table contains more than one address, they are picked in turn each
time a new connection is opened.
.Pp
By default, when connecting to a remote server,
.Xr smtpd 8
advertises its default server name.
A
.Ic hostname
parameter may be specified to advertise the alternate hostname
.Ar name .
If the
.Ic source
parameter is used, the
.Ic hostnames
parameter may be specified to advertise a hostname based on
the source address.
Table
.Ar names
contains a mapping of IP addresses to hostnames and
.Xr smtpd 8
will automatically select the name that matches its source address
when connected to the remote server.
The
.Ic hostname
and
.Ic hostnames
parameters are mutually exclusive.
.Pp
When relaying, STARTTLS is always attempted if available on remote host and
.Xr smtpd 8
will try to present a certificate matching the outgoing hostname if one is
registered in the pki.
If
.Ic pki
is specified, the certificate registered for
.Ar pkiname
is used instead.
.Pp
If
.Ic tls
is specified,
.Xr smtpd 8
will refuse to relay unless the remote host provides STARTTLS.
If
.Ic tls verify
is specified,
.Xr smtpd 8
will refuse to relay unless the remote host provides STARTTLS and the
certificate it presented has been verified.
.Pp
Note that the

tls://mx1.example.org # use TLS
smtps://mx1.example.org # use SMTPS
secure://mx1.example.org # try SMTPS and \e
# fallback to TLS
.Ed

In addition, credentials for authenticated relaying may be provided
when using a secure schema.
For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
tls+auth://label@mx.example.org # over TLS
smtps+auth://label@mx.example.org # over SMTPS
secure+auth://label@mx.example.org # over either \e
# SMTPS or TLS
.Ed
.Pp
If a pki entry exists for the outgoing hostname, or one is provided
with
.Ar pkiname ,
the associated certificate will be sent to the remote server.
.Pp
If an SMTPAUTH session with
.Ar host
is desired, the
.Ic auth
parameter is used to specify the
.Ar auth
table that holds the credentials.
Credentials will be looked up using the label provided in the URL.
.Pp
If the
.Ic as
parameter is specified,
.Xr smtpd 8
will rewrite the sender advertised
in the SMTP session.
.Ar address
may be a user, a domain prefixed with
.Sq @ ,
or an email address, causing
.Xr smtpd 8
to rewrite the user-part, the domain-part, or the entire address, respectively.
.Pp
If the

when connecting to the relay.
If the table contains more than one address, they are picked in turn each
time a new connection is opened.
.Pp
By default, when connecting to a remote server,
.Xr smtpd 8
advertises its default server name.
A
.Ic hostname
parameter may be specified to advertise the alternate hostname
.Ar name .
If the
.Ic source
parameter is used, the
.Ic hostnames
parameter may be specified to advertise a hostname based on
the source address.
Table
.Ar names
contains a mapping of IP addresses to hostnames and
.Xr smtpd 8
will automatically select the name that matches its source address
when connected to the remote server.
The
.Ic hostname
and
.Ic hostnames
parameters are mutually exclusive.
.Pp
If
.Ic verify

.Xc
.Pp
Specify a
.Ic socket
or an
.Ar interface
to listen on for incoming connections.
The
.Ic listen on socket
directive is used to modify the behavior of the listener handling
messages submitted through the local enqueuer, for example via the
.Xr mail 1
utility.
This is an optional directive: if unspecified then
.Xr smtpd 8
will simply listen for connections on the
.Ic socket
as if it was configured with no option.
Clients connecting through the
.Ic socket
will always be tagged with the 'local'
.Ic tag .
.Pp
To listen on a specific network interface, specify an
.Ar interface
and an optional
.Ar port .
An interface group, an IP address or a domain name may
be used in place of
.Ar interface .
The
.Ar family
parameter can be used to listen only on specific address family.
Accepted values are
.Ic inet4
and
.Ic inet6 .
.Pp
A
.Ic filter
may be specified to use a filter or filter chain with the given
.Ar name
on SMTP transactions.
.Pp
Secured connections are provided either using STARTTLS
.Pq Ic tls ,
by default on port 25,
or SMTPS
.Pq Ic smtps ,
by default on port 465.
.Ic tls-require
may be used to force clients to establish a secure connection
before being allowed to start an SMTP transaction.
.Pp
If
.Ic tls-require verify
is specified, the client must provide a valid certificate to be
able to establish an SMTP session.
.Pp
.Ic secure
may be specified to provide both STARTTLS and SMTPS services.
Host certificates may be used for these connections,
and must be previously declared using the pki directive.
If
.Ic pki
is specified,
a certificate matching
.Ic name
is searched for.
Moreover, a previously declared
.Ic ca
directive may be specified to use a custom CA certificate.
.Pp
If the
.Ic auth
parameter is used,
then a client may only start an SMTP transaction after a
successful authentication.
Any remote sender that passed SMTPAUTH is treated as if
it was the server's local user that was sending the mail.
This means that filter rules using
.Ic from local
will be matched.
If
.Ic auth-optional
is specified, then SMTPAUTH is not required to establish an
SMTP transaction.
This is only useful to let a listener accept incoming mail from
untrusted senders and outgoing mail from authenticated users in
situations where it is not possible to listen on the submission
port.
.Pp
Both
.Ic auth
and
.Ic auth-optional
accept an optional table as a parameter.
When provided, credentials are looked up in this table.
The credentials format is described in
.Xr table 5 .
.Pp
If the
.Ic tag
parameter is used, then clients connecting to the listener will be
tagged
.Ar tag .
.Pp
If the
.Ic hostname
parameter is used, then it will be used in the greeting banner
instead of the default server name.
.Pp
The
.Ic hostnames
parameter overrides the server name for specific addresses.
Table
.Ar names
contains a mapping of IP addresses to hostnames and
.Xr smtpd 8
will use the hostname that matches the address on which the connection arrives
if it is found in the mapping.
.Pp
If the
.Ic senders
parameter is used, then
.Xr smtpd 8
will look up a mapping of username to email addresses to see whether
the authenticated user is allowed to submit mail
as the sender that was provided in the SMTP session.
In addition, if the masquerade option is provided,
the From header will be rewritten
to match the sender provided in the SMTP session.
.Pp
If the
.Ic mask-source
parameter is used, then the listener will skip the
.Ic from
part when prepending the
.Dq Received
header.
.Pp
If the
.Ic received-auth
parameter is used, the
.Dq Received
header will display if the session was authenticated and by which local user.
.Pp
If the
.Ic no-dsn
parameter is used, DSN (Delivery Status Notification) extension will not
be enabled.
.It Ic max-message-size Ar n
Specify a maximum message size of
.Ar n
bytes.
The argument may contain a multiplier, as documented in
.Xr scan_scaled 3 .
The default maximum message size is 35MB if none is specified.
.It Ic pki Ar hostname Ic certificate Ar certfile
Associate the certificate located in
.Ar certfile
with
.Ar hostname .
.Pp
If a fallback certificate or SNI is wanted, the
.Sq *
wildcard may be used as
.Ar hostname .
.Pp
A certificate chain may be created by appending one or many certificates,
including a Certificate Authority certificate,
to
.Ar certfile .
.Pp
Creation of certificates is documented in
.Xr starttls 8 .
.It Ic pki Ar hostname Ic key Ar keyfile
Associate the key located in
.Ar keyfile
with
.Ar hostname .
.It Ic pki Ar hostname Ic dhe Ar params
Specify the DHE parameters to use for DHE cipher suites with
.Ar hostname .
Valid parameter values are none, legacy and auto.
For legacy a fixed key length of 1024 bits is used, whereas for auto the key
length is determined automatically.
The default is none, which disables DHE cipher suites.
.It Ic queue compression
Enable transparent compression of envelopes and messages.
The only supported algorithm at the moment is gzip.
Envelopes and messages may be inspected using the
.Xr smtpctl 8
or
.Xr gzcat 1
utilities.
.It Ic queue encryption Op key Ar key
Enable transparent encryption of envelopes and messages.
.Ar key
must be a 16-byte random key in hexadecimal representation.
It can be obtained using the
.Xr openssl 1
utility as follow:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ openssl rand \-hex 16
.Ed
.Pp
If the
.Ar key
parameter is not specified, it is read with
.Xr getpass 3
at startup.
If
.Ar key
is
.Ic stdin ,
then it is read from the standard input at startup.
.Pp
The only supported algorithm is AES-256 in GCM mode.
Envelopes and messages may be inspected using the
.Xr smtpctl 8
utility.
.Pp
Queue encryption can be used with queue compression and will always
perform compression before encryption.
.It Ic table Ar name Oo Ar type : Oc Ns Ar config
Tables are used to provide additional configuration information for
.Xr smtpd 8
in the form of lists or key-value mappings.
The format of the entries depends on what the table is used for.
Refer to
.Xr table 5
for the exhaustive documentation.
.Pp
The table is identified using table name
.Ar name ;
the name itself is arbitrarily chosen.
.Pp
.Ar type
specifies the table backend,
and should be one of the following:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width "fileXXX" -compact
.It db
Information is stored in a file created using
.Xr makemap 8 .
.It file
Information is stored in a plain text file using the
same format as used to generate
.Xr makemap 8
mappings.
This is the default.
.El
.Pp
.Ar config
specifies a configuration file for the table data.
It must be an absolute path to a file for the
.Dq file
and
.Dq db
table types.
.It Ic table Ar name Brq Ar value Op , Ar ...
Tables containing list of static values may be declared
using an inlined notation.
.Pp
The table is identified using table name
.Ar name ;
the name itself is arbitrarily chosen.
.Pp
The table must contain at least one value and may declare many values as a
list of comma-separated strings.
.It Ic table Ar name Brq Ar key Ns = Ns Ar value Op , Ar ...
Tables containing static key-value mappings may be declared
using an inlined notation.
.Pp
The table is identified using table name

descriptions.
.El
.Ss FORMAT SPECIFIERS
Some configuration directives support expansion of their parameters at runtime.
Such directives (for example
.Ic deliver to maildir ,
.Ic deliver to mda )
may use format specifiers which will be expanded before delivery or
relaying.
The following formats are currently supported:
.Bl -column %{user.directory} -offset indent
.It %{sender} Ta sender email address
.It %{sender.user} Ta user part of the sender email address
.It %{sender.domain} Ta domain part of the sender email address
.It %{rcpt} Ta recipient email address
.It %{rcpt.user} Ta user part of the recipient email address
.It %{rcpt.domain} Ta domain part of the recipient email address
.It %{dest} Ta recipient email address after expansion
.It %{dest.user} Ta user part after expansion
.It %{dest.domain} Ta domain part after expansion
.It %{user.username} Ta local user
.It %{user.directory} Ta home directory of the local user
.El
.Pp
Expansion formats also support partial expansion using the optional
bracket notations with substring offset.
For example, with recipient domain
.Dq example.org :
.Bl -column %{rcpt.domain[0:-4]} -offset indent
.It %{rcpt.domain[0]} Ta expands to Dq e
.It %{rcpt.domain[1]} Ta expands to Dq x
.It %{rcpt.domain[8:]} Ta expands to Dq org
.It %{rcpt.domain[-3:]} Ta expands to Dq org
.It %{rcpt.domain[0:6]} Ta expands to Dq example
.It %{rcpt.domain[0:-4]} Ta expands to Dq example
.El
.Pp
In addition, modifiers may be applied to the token.
For example, with recipient
.Dq User+Tag@Example.org :
.Bl -column %{rcpt:lowercase|strip} -offset indent
.It %{rcpt:lowercase} Ta expands to Dq user+tag@example.org
.It %{rcpt:uppercase} Ta expands to Dq USER+TAG@EXAMPLE.ORG
.It %{rcpt:strip} Ta expands to Dq User@Example.org
.It %{rcpt:lowercase|strip} Ta expands to Dq user@example.org
.El
.Pp
For security concerns, expanded values are sanitized and potentially
dangerous characters are replaced with
.Sq \&: .
In situations where they are desirable, the
.Dq raw
modifier may be applied.
For example, with recipient
.Dq user+t?g@example.org :
.Bl -column %{rcpt:raw} -offset indent
.It %{rcpt} Ta expands to Dq user+t:g@example.org
.It %{rcpt:raw} Ta expands to Dq user+t?g@example.org

.Sh EXAMPLES
The default
.Nm
file which ships with
.Ox
listens on the loopback network interface (lo0),
and allows for mail from users and daemons on the local machine,
as well as permitting email to remote servers.
Some more complex configurations are given below.
.Pp
This first example is the same as the default configuration,
but all outgoing mail is forwarded to a remote SMTP server.
A secrets file is needed to specify a username and password:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# touch /etc/mail/secrets
# chmod 640 /etc/mail/secrets
# chown root:_smtpd /etc/mail/secrets
# echo "label username:password" > /etc/mail/secrets
.Ed
.Pp
.Nm
would look like this:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
table secrets file:/etc/mail/secrets
listen on lo0
accept for local alias <aliases> deliver to mbox
accept for any relay via tls+auth://label@smtp.example.com \e
auth <secrets>
.Ed
.Pp
In this second example,
the aim is to permit mail relaying for any user that can authenticate
using their normal login credentials.
An RSA certificate must be provided to prove the server's identity.
The mail server listens on all interfaces the default route(s) point to.
Mail with a local destination should be sent to an external mda.
First, the RSA certificate is created:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
# openssl genrsa \-out /etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key 4096
# openssl req \-new \-x509 \-key /etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key \e
\-out /etc/ssl/mail.example.com.crt \-days 365
# chmod 600 /etc/ssl/mail.example.com.crt
# chmod 600 /etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key
.Ed
.Pp
In the example above,
a certificate valid for one year was created.
The configuration file would look like this:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
pki mail.example.com certificate "/etc/ssl/mail.example.com.crt"
pki mail.example.com key "/etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key"
table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
listen on lo0
listen on egress tls pki mail.example.com auth
accept for local alias <aliases> deliver to mda "/path/to/mda \-f \-"
accept from any for domain example.com \e
deliver to mda "/path/to/mda \-f \-"
accept for any relay
.Ed
.Pp
For sites that wish to sign messages using DKIM, the
.Em dkimproxy
package may be used as a filter.
The following example is the same as the default configuration,
but all outgoing mail is passed to dkimproxy_out on port 10027
for signing.
The signed messages are received on port 10028 and tagged for relaying.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
listen on lo0
listen on lo0 port 10028 tag DKIM
accept for local alias <aliases> deliver to mbox
accept tagged DKIM for any relay
accept from local for any relay via smtp://127.0.0.1:10027

Sites that accept non-local messages may be able to cut down on the
volume of spam received by rejecting forged messages that claim
to be from the local domain.
The table
.Em other-relays
can be used to specify the IP addresses of relays that may legitimately
originate mail with your domain as the sender.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
table other-relays file:/etc/mail/other-relays
listen on lo0
listen on egress
accept for local alias <aliases> deliver to mbox
accept from local for any relay
reject from ! source <other-relays> sender "@example.com" for any
accept from any for domain example.com \e
