To select mail options:

2. Click the appropriate button for each option and enter a value in the box offered.
3. Click Save.

Add sender rates to the mail log

This option allows you to log sender rates in the Exim mail log.

Sender Verification Callouts

This option allows Exim to connect to the mail exchanger for a given address and verify it exists before accepting messages from it.

Show generic recipient failure messages to senders

This option allows you to send the following message to senders when they attempt to send an undeliverable message: "The recipient cannot be verified. Please check all recipients of this message to verify they are valid."

Skip scanning messages for virii/malware when the scanner is unavailable, and allow mail delivery to continue

This option allows you to disable the virii/malware scanner if it fails. In the event of a virii/malware scanner failure, all mail will be delivered as normal.

Note: If you do not enable this option and the virii/malware scanner fails, users will not receive new messages until the scanner is repaired.

Reject mail for users over quota at SMTP time

This option allows you to reject SMTP-time mail for users who have exceeded their quota, rather directing the mail into their queue.

Sender Verification

This option allows you to verify the origin of mail senders.

Set the Sender: Header when the mail sender changes the sender (-f flag passed to sendmail)

This option allows you to set the Sender: header as "-f flag passed to sendmail" when a mail sender changes.

Note: Disabling this option will prevent an "On behalf of" header in Microsoft® Outlook, but may limit your ability to track abuse of the mail system.

Skip scanning messages for spam when the scanner is unavailable and allow mail delivery to continue

This option allows you to disable the spam scanner if it fails. In the event of a spam scanner failure, all mail will be delivered as normal.

Note: If you do not enable this option and the spam scanner fails, users will not receive new messages until the scanner is repaired.
