.SH NAME
meta1.conf
\- meta1 configuration file
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B meta1.conf
file is the configuration file for the meta1 message transfer agent.
Note: the name can be freely chosen by specifying it as argument for
.B mcp.
.PP
A configuration file consists of
.BI entries ,
each
.BI entry
is either an
.BI option
or a
.BI section .
An option has a
.BI name ,
an equal sign, and a
.BI value
terminated by a semicolon
or a (bracketed) list of values separated by comma.
A
.BI section
consists of a
.BI keyword ,
an optional
.BI name ,
and a (bracketed) sequence of
.BI entries .
Keywords and options are not case sensitive.
The layout of a configuration file does not matter,
i.e., indentation and line breaks are irrelevant.

Grammar:
.nf
conf    ::= entries

option  ::= option-name "=" rhs
rhs     ::= value ";" | "{" value-list "}" [";"]

Example:
qmgr {
  AQ_max_entries = 8192;
  smtpc { initial_connections = 19; max_connections = 101; }
  wait_for_server = 4; wait_for_client = 4;
  start_action = wait; user = smxq;
  restart_dependencies = { smtps, smtpc, smar };
  path = "/usr/libexec/qmgr";
  arguments = "qmgr -f /etc/smx/smx.conf";
}

smtps { flags = {8bitmime}; CDB_gid = 261; IO_timeout = 5m3s;
  listen_socket { type = inet; port = 25; }
  start_action = pass; pass_fd_socket = smtps/smtpsfd;
  user = smxs; path = /usr/libexec/smtps;
  arguments = "smtps -f /etc/smx/smx.conf"; }

smtpc {
  Log_Level = 12; IO_timeout = 6m; wait_for_server = 4;
  start_action = wait; user = smxc; path = "/usr/libexec/smtpc";
  arguments = "smtpc -f /etc/smx/smx.conf"; }

smar {
  Log_Level = 12;
  nameserver = {10.10.10.9, 127.0.0.1};
  DNS_timeout = 6;
  start_action = wait; user = smxm;
  restart_dependencies = { smtps, qmgr };
  path = "/usr/libexec/smar";
  arguments = "smar -f /etc/smx/smx.conf";
}
