Ubuntu Manpage: opendmarc.conf - Configuration file for opendmarc

Provided by: opendmarc_1.2.0+dfsg-1_amd64

NAME

       opendmarc.conf - Configuration file for opendmarc

LOCATION

       /etc/opendmarc.conf

DESCRIPTION

       opendmarc(8)  implements  the  proposed  DMARC  specification  for message authentication,
       policy enforcement, and reporting.  This file is its configuration file.

       Blank lines are ignored.  Lines containing a hash ("#") character  are  truncated  at  the
       hash character to allow for comments in the file.

       Other  content should be the name of a parameter, followed by white space, followed by the
       value of that parameter, each on a separate line.

       For parameters that are Boolean in nature, only the first byte of the value is  processed.
       For  positive  values,  the following are accepted: "T", "t", "Y", "y", "1".  For negative
       values, the following are accepted: "F", "f", "N", "n", "0".

       Some, but not all, of these parameters are also  available  as  command  line  options  to
       opendmarc(8).   However, new parameters are generally not added as command line options so
       the complete set of options is available here, and thus use of the configuration  file  is
       encouraged.   In  some future release, the set of available command line options is likely
       to get trimmed.

       See the opendmarc(8) man page for details  about  how  and  when  the  configuration  file
       contents are reloaded.

       Unless  otherwise  stated, Boolean values default to "false", integer values default to 0,
       and string and dataset values default to being undefined.

PARAMETERS

AuthservID (string)
Sets the "authserv-id" to use when generating the Authentication-Results: header
field after verifying a message. The default is to use the name of the MTA
processing the message. If the string "HOSTNAME" is provided, the name of the host
running the filter (as returned by the gethostname(3) function) will be used.

AuthservIDWithJobID (Boolean)
If "true", requests that the authserv-id portion of the added Authentication-
Results: header fields contain the job ID of the message being evaluated.

AutoRestart (Boolean)
Automatically re-start on failures. Use with caution; if the filter fails
instantly after it starts, this can cause a tight fork(2) loop.

AutoRestartCount (integer)
Sets the maximum automatic restart count. After this number of automatic restarts,
the filter will give up and terminate. A value of 0 implies no limit; this is the
default.

AutoRestartRate (string)
Sets the maximum automatic restart rate. If the filter begins restarting faster
than the rate defined here, it will give up and terminate. This is a string of the
form n/t[u] where n is an integer limiting the count of restarts in the given
interval and t[u] defines the time interval through which the rate is calculated; t
is an integer and u defines the units thus represented ("s" or "S" for seconds, the
default; "m" or "M" for minutes; "h" or "H" for hours; "d" or "D" for days). For
example, a value of "10/1h" limits the restarts to 10 in one hour. There is no
default, meaning restart rate is not limited.

Background (Boolean)
Causes opendmarc to fork and exits immediately, leaving the service running in the
background. The default is "true".

BaseDirectory (string)
If set, instructs the filter to change to the specified directory using chdir(2)
before doing anything else. This means any files referenced elsewhere in the
configuration file can be specified relative to this directory. It's also useful
for arranging that any crash dumps will be saved to a specific location.

ChangeRootDirectory (string)
Requests that the operating system change the effective root directory of the
process to the one specified here prior to beginning execution. chroot (2)
requires superuser access. A warning will be generated if UserID is not also set.

CopyFailuresTo (string)
Adds the specified recipient to the message's envelope if it fails the DMARC
evaluation.

DNSTimeout (integer)
Sets the DNS timeout in seconds. A value of 0 causes an infinite wait. The
default is 5. Ignored if not using an asynchronous resolver package.

EnableCoredumps (Boolean)
On systems that have such support, make an explicit request to the kernel to dump
cores when the filter crashes for some reason. Some modern UNIX systems suppress
core dumps during crashes for security reasons if the user ID has changed during
the lifetime of the process. Currently only supported on Linux.

ForensicReports (Boolean)
Enables generation of forensic reports when the DMARC test fails and the purported
sender of the message has requested such reports. Reports are formatted per
RFC6591.

ForensicReportsBcc (string)
When forensic reports are enabled and one is to be generated, always send one to
the address(es) specified here. If a forensic report is requested by the domain
owner, the address(es) are added in a Bcc: field. If no request is made, they
address(es) are used in a To: field. There is no default.

ForensicReportsOnNone (Boolean)
Supplementary to the previous setting, enables generation of forensic reports for
sending domains that publish a "none" policy.

ForensicReportsSentBy (string)
Sets the value of the From: field to be used when sending forensic reports (see
above). The default is to use the userid of the user executing the filter and the
local host name to construct an email address.

HistoryFile (string)
If set, specifies the location of a text file to which records are written that can
be used to generate DMARC aggregate reports. Records are batches of rows
containing information about a single received message, and include all relevant
information needed to generate a DMARC aggregate report. It is expected that this
will not be used in its raw form, but rather periodically imported into a
relational database from which the aggregate reports can be extracted.

IgnoreHosts (string)
Specifies the path to a file that contains a list of hostnames, IP addresses,
and/or CIDR expressions identifying hosts whose SMTP connections are to be ignored
by the filter. If not specified, defaults to "127.0.0.1" only.

IgnoreMailFrom (string)
Gives a list of domain names whose mail (based on the From: domain) is to be
ignored by the filter. The list should be comma-separated. Matching against this
list is case-insensitive. The default is an empty list, meaning no mail is
ignored.

MilterDebug (integer)
Sets the debug level to be requested from the milter library. The default is 0.

PidFile (string)
Specifies the path to a file that should be created at process start containing the
process ID.

PublicSuffixList (string)
Specifies the path to a file that contains top-level domains (TLDs) that will be
used to compute the Organizational Domain for a given domain name, as described in
the DMARC specification. If not provided, the filter will not be able to determine
the Organizational Domain and only the presented domain will be evaluated.

RecordAllMessages (Boolean)
If set and HistoryFile is in use, all received messages are recorded to the history
file. If not set (the default), only messages for which the From: domain published
a DMARC record will be recorded in the history file.

RejectFailures (Boolean)
If set, messages will be rejected if they fail the DMARC evaluation, or temp-failed
if evaluation could not be completed. By default, no message will be rejected or
temp-failed regardless of the outcome of the DMARC evaluation of the message.
Instead, an Authentication-Results header field will be added. The default is
"false".

ReportCommand (string)
Indicates the shell command to which forensic reports should be passed for delivery
when ForensicReports is enabled. Defaults to /usr/sbin/sendmail.

RequiredHeaders (Boolean)
If set, the filter will ensure the header of the message conforms to the basic
header field count restrictions laid out in RFC5322, Section 3.6. Messages failing
this test are rejected without further processing. A From: field from which no
domain name could be extracted will also be rejected.

Socket (string)
Specifies the socket that should be established by the filter to receive
connections from sendmail(8) in order to provide service. socketspec is in one of
two forms: local:path, which creates a UNIX domain socket at the specified path, or
inet:port[@host] or inet6:port[@host] which creates a TCP socket on the specified
port for the appropriate protocol family. If the host is not given as either a
hostname or an IP address, the socket will be listening on all interfaces. This
option is mandatory either in the configuration file or on the command line. If an
IP address is used, it must be enclosed in square brackets.

SoftwareHeader (Boolean)
Causes opendmarc to add a "DMARC-Filter" header field indicating the presence of
this filter in the path of the message from injection to delivery. The product's
name, version, and the job ID are included in the header field's contents.

Syslog (Boolean)
Log via calls to syslog(3) any interesting activity.

SyslogFacility (string)
Log via calls to syslog(3) using the named facility. The facility names are the
same as the ones allowed in syslog.conf(5). The default is "mail".

TemporaryDirectory (string)
Specifies the directory in which temporary files should be written. The default is
/var/tmp.

TrustedAuthservIDs (string)
Provides a list of authserv-ids that are to be used to identify Authentication-
Results header fields whose contents are to be assumed as valid input for the DMARC
assessment. To provide a list, separate values by commas. If the string
"HOSTNAME" is provided, the name of the host running the filter (as returned by the
gethostname(3) function) will be used. Matching against this list is case-
insensitive. The default is to use the value of AuthservID.

UMask (integer)
Requests a specific permissions mask to be used for file creation. This only
really applies to creation of the socket when Socket specifies a UNIX domain
socket, and to the PidFile (if any); temporary files are created by the mkstemp(3)
function that enforces a specific file mode on creation regardless of the process
umask. See umask(2) for more information.

UserID (string)
Attempts to become the specified userid before starting operations. The value is
of the form userid[:group]. The process will be assigned all of the groups and
primary group ID of the named userid unless an alternate group is specified.
