42.Op Fl A Ns Ar mode
43.Op Fl b Ns Ar mode
44.Op Fl f Ar sender
45.Op Fl L Ar tag

50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51.Nm
52is a small Mail Transport Agent (MTA), designed for home and office use.
53It accepts mails from locally installed Mail User Agents (MUA) and
54delivers the mails either locally or to a remote destination.
55Remote delivery includes several features like TLS/SSL support and SMTP
56authentication.
57.Pp
58.Nm
59is not intended as a replacement for real, big MTAs like
60.Xr sendmail 8
61or
62.Xr postfix 1 .
63Consequently,
64.Nm
65does not listen on port 25 for incoming connections.
66.Pp
67The options are as follows:
68.Bl -tag -width indent
69.It Fl A Ns Ar mode
70.Fl \&Ac
71acts as a compatibility option for sendmail.
72.It Fl b Ns Ar mode
73.Bl -tag -width indent
74.It Fl bp
75List all mails currently stored in the mail queue.
76.It Fl bq
77Queue the mail, but don't attempt to deliver it.
78See also the
79.Sq DEFER
80config file setting below.
81.El
82.Pp
83All other
84.Ar mode Ns
85s are ignored.
86.It Fl D
87Don't run in the background.
88Useful for debugging.
89.It Fl f Ar sender
90Set sender address (envelope-from) to
91.Ar sender .
92This overrides the value of the
93.Ev EMAIL
94environment variable, but is overridden by the
95.Sq MASQUERADE
96config file setting.
97.It Fl i
98Ignore dots alone on lines by themselves in incoming messages.
99This should be set if you are reading data from a file.
100.It Fl L Ar tag
101Set the identifier used in syslog messages to the supplied
102.Ar tag .
103This is a compatibility option for sendmail.
104.It Fl O
105This is a compatibility option for sendmail.
106.It Fl o Ns Ar option
107Specifying
108.Fl oi
109is synonymous to
110.Fl i .
111All other options are ignored.
112.It Fl q Ns Op Ar arg
113Process saved messages in the queue.
114The argument is optional and ignored.
115.It Fl r Ar sender
116Same as
117.Fl f .
118.It Fl t
119Obtain recipient addresses from the message header.
120.Nm
121will parse the
122.Li To: ,
123.Li Cc: ,
124and
125.Li Bcc:
126headers.
127The
128.Li Bcc:
129header will be removed independent of whether
130.Fl t
131is specified or not.
132.El
133.Sh CONFIGURATION
134.Nm
135can be configured with two config files:
136.Pp
137.Bl -bullet -compact
138.It
139auth.conf
140.It
141dma.conf
142.El
143.Pp
144These two files are stored per default in
145.Pa /etc/dma .
146.Sh FILE FORMAT
147Every file contains parameters of the form
148.Sq name value .
149Lines containing boolean values are set to
150.Sq NO
151if the line is commented and to
152.Sq YES
153if the line is uncommented.
154Empty lines or lines beginning with a
155.Sq #
156are ignored.
157Parameter names and their values are case sensitive.
158.Sh PARAMETERS
159.Ss auth.conf
160SMTP authentication can be configured in
161.Pa auth.conf .
162Each line has the format
163.Dq Li user|smarthost:password .
164.Ss dma.conf
165Most of the behaviour of
166.Nm
167can be configured in
168.Pa dma.conf .
169.Bl -tag -width 4n
170.It Ic SMARTHOST Xo
171(string, default=empty)
172.Xc
173If you want to send outgoing mails via a smarthost, set this variable to
174your smarthosts address.
175.It Ic PORT Xo
176(numeric, default=25)
177.Xc
178Use this port to deliver remote emails.
179Only useful together with the
180.Sq SMARTHOST
181option, because
182.Nm
183will deliver all mails to this port, regardless of whether a smarthost is set
184or not.
185.It Ic ALIASES Xo
186(string, default=/etc/aliases)
187.Xc
188Path to the local aliases file.
189Just stick with the default.
190The aliases file is of the format
191.Dl nam: dest1 dest2 ...
192In this case, mails to
193.Li nam
194will instead be delivered to
195.Li dest1
196and
197.Li dest2 ,
198which in turn could be entries in
199.Pa /etc/aliases .
200The special name
201.Ql *
202can be used to create a catch-all alias, which gets used if no other
203matching alias is found.
204Use the catch-all alias only if you don't want any local mail to be
205delivered.
206.It Ic SPOOLDIR Xo
207(string, default=/var/spool/dma)
208.Xc
209Path to
210.Nm Ap s
211spool directory.
212Just stick with the default.
213.It Ic AUTHPATH Xo
214(string, default=not set)
215.Xc
216Path to the
217.Sq auth.conf
218file.
219.It Ic SECURETRANSFER Xo
220(boolean, default=commented)
221.Xc
222Uncomment if you want TLS/SSL secured transfer.
223.It Ic STARTTLS Xo
224(boolean, default=commented)
225.Xc
226Uncomment if you want to use STARTTLS.
227Only useful together with
228.Sq SECURETRANSFER .
229.It Ic FINGERPRINT Xo
230Pin the server certificate by specifying its SHA256 fingerprint.
231Only makes sense if you use a smarthost.
232.It Ic OPPORTUNISTIC_TLS Xo
233(boolean, default=commented)
234.Xc
235Uncomment if you want to allow the STARTTLS negotiation to fail.
236Most useful when
237.Nm
238is used without a smarthost, delivering remote messages directly to
239the outside mail exchangers; in opportunistic TLS mode, the connection will
240be encrypted if the remote server supports STARTTLS, but an unencrypted
241delivery will still be made if the negotiation fails.
242Only useful together with
243.Sq SECURETRANSFER
244and
245.Sq STARTTLS .
246.It Ic CERTFILE Xo
247(string, default=empty)
248.Xc
249Path to your SSL certificate file.
250.It Ic SECURE Xo
251(boolean, default=commented)
252.Xc
253Uncomment this entry and change it to
254.Sq INSECURE
255to use plain text SMTP login over an insecure connection.
256You have to rename this variable manually to prevent that you send your
257password accidentally over an insecure connection.
258.It Ic DEFER Xo
259(boolean, default=commented)
260.Xc
261Uncomment if you want that
262.Nm
263defers your mail.
264You have to flush your mail queue manually with the
265.Fl q
266option.
267This option is handy if you are behind a dialup line.
268.It Ic FULLBOUNCE Xo
269(boolean, default=commented)
270.Xc
271Uncomment if you want the bounce message to include the complete original
272message, not just the headers.
273.It Ic MAILNAME Xo
274(string, default=empty)
275.Xc
276The internet hostname
277.Nm
278uses to identify the host.
279If not set or empty, the result of
280.Xr gethostname 3
281is used.
282If
283.Sq MAILNAME
284is an absolute path to a file, the first line of this file will be used
285as the hostname.
286.It Ic MASQUERADE Xo
287(string, default=empty)
288.Xc
289Masquerade the envelope-from addresses with this address/hostname.
290Use this setting if mails are not accepted by destination mail servers
291because your sender domain is invalid.
292This setting overrides the
293.Fl f
294flag and the
295.Ev EMAIL
296environment variable.
297.Pp
298If
299.Sq MASQUERADE
300does not contain a
301.Li @
302sign, the string is interpreted as a host name.
303For example, setting
304.Sq MASQUERADE
305to
306.Ql john@
307on host
308.Ql hamlet
309will send all mails as
310.Ql john@hamlet ;
311setting it to
312.Ql percolator
313will send all mails as
314.Ql Sm off Va username @percolator .
315.Sm on
316.It Ic NULLCLIENT Xo
317.Xc
318Bypass aliases and local delivery, and instead forward all mails to
319the defined
320.Sq SMARTHOST .
321.Sq NULLCLIENT
322requires
323.Sq SMARTHOST
324to be set.
325.El
326.Ss Environment variables
327The behavior of
328.Nm
329can be influenced by some environment variables.
330.Bl -tag -width 4n
331.It Ev EMAIL Xo
332.Xc
333Used to set the sender address (envelope-from).
334Use a plain address, in the form of
335.Li user@example.com .
336This value will be overridden when the
337.Sq MASQUERADE
338config file setting or the
339.Fl f
340flag is used.
