     smtpd.conf — Simple Mail Transfer Protocol daemon configuration file

DESCRIPTION top

     smtpd.conf is the configuration file for the mail daemon smtpd(8).

     When mail arrives, each “RCPT TO:” command generates a mail envelope.
     If an envelope matches any of a pre-designated set of criteria (using
     the match directive), the message is accepted for delivery.  A copy of
     the message, as well as its associated envelopes, is saved in the mail
     queue and later dispatched according to an associated set of actions
     (using the action directive).  If an envelope does not match any
     options, it is rejected.  The match rules are evaluated sequentially,
     with the first match winning.

     The format of the configuration file is fairly flexible.  The current
     line can be extended over multiple lines using a backslash (‘\’).  Com‐
     ments can be put anywhere in the file using a hash mark (‘#’), and
     extend to the end of the current line.  Care should be taken when com‐
     menting out multi-line text: the comment is effective until the end of
     the entire block.  Argument names not beginning with a letter, digit,
     or underscore, as well as reserved words (such as listen, match, and
     port), must be quoted.  Arguments containing whitespace should be sur‐
     rounded by double quotes (").

     Macros can be defined that are later expanded in context.  Macro names
     must start with a letter, digit, or underscore, and may contain any of
     those characters, but may not be reserved words.  Macros are not
     expanded inside quotes.  For example:

           lan_addr = "192.168.0.1"
           listen on $lan_addr
           listen on $lan_addr tls auth

     The syntax of smtpd.conf is described below.

     action name method [options]
             When the queue runner processes an envelope from the mail
             queue, it carries out the action name, selected by the match
             ... action directive when the message was received.  The action
             directive provides configuration data for delivery attempts.
             Required lookups are performed at the time of each delivery
             attempt.  Consequently, changing an action directive or the
             files it references and restarting the smtpd(8) daemon causes
             the changes to take effect for subsequent delivery attempts for
             the respective dispatcher name, even for messages that were
             already stuck in the queue prior to the configuration changes.

             The delivery method parameter may be one of the following:

             expand-only
                     Only accept the message if a delivery method was speci‐
                     fied in an aliases or .forward file.

             forward-only
                     Only accept the message if the recipient results in a
                     remote address after the processing of aliases or for‐
                     ward file.

             lmtp destination [rcpt-to]
                     Deliver the message to an LMTP server at destination.
                     The location may be expressed as host:port or as a UNIX
                     socket.

                     Optionally, rcpt-to might be specified to use the
                     recipient email address (after expansion) instead of
                     the local user in the LMTP session as RCPT TO.

             maildir [pathname [junk]]
                     Deliver the message to the maildir in pathname if spec‐
                     ified, or by default to ~/Maildir.

                     The pathname may contain format specifiers that are
                     expanded before use (see FORMAT SPECIFIERS).

                     If the junk argument is provided, the message will be
                     moved to the ‘Junk’ folder if it contains a positive
                     ‘X-Spam’ header.  This folder will be created under
                     pathname if it does not yet exist.

             mbox    Deliver the message to the user's mbox with
                     mail.local(8).

             mda command
                     Delegate the delivery to a command that receives the
                     message on its standard input.

                     The command may contain format specifiers that are
                     expanded before use (see FORMAT SPECIFIERS).

             relay   Relay the message to another SMTP server.

             The local delivery methods support additional options:

             alias <table>
                     Use the mapping table for aliases(5) expansion.

             ttl n{s|m|h|d}
                     Specify how long a message may remain in the queue.

             user username
                     Specify the username for performing the delivery, to be
                     looked up with getpwnam(3).

                     This is used for virtual hosting where a single user‐
                     name is in charge of handling delivery for all virtual
                     users.

                     This option is not usable with the mbox delivery
                     method.

             userbase <table>
                     Use the mapping table for user lookups instead of the
                     getpwnam(3) function.

                     The userbase does not apply for the user option.

             virtual <table>
                     Use the mapping table for virtual expansion.  The
                     aliasing table format is described in table(5).

             wrapper name
                     Use the wrapper specified in mda wrapper.

             The relay delivery methods also support additional options:

             backup  Operate as a backup mail exchanger delivering messages
                     to any mail exchanger with higher priority.

             backup mx name
                     Operate as a backup mail exchanger delivering messages
                     to any mail exchanger with higher priority than mail
                     exchanger identified as name.

             helo heloname
                     Advertise heloname as the hostname to other mail
                     exchangers during the HELO phase.

             helo-src <table>
                     Use the mapping table to look up a hostname matching
                     the source address, to advertise during the HELO phase.

             domain <domains>
                     Do not perform MX lookups but look up destination
                     domain in domains and use matching relay url as relay
                     host.

             host relay-url
                     Do not perform MX lookups but relay messages to the
                     relay host described by relay-url.  The format for
                     relay-url is [proto://[label@]]host[:port].  The fol‐
                     lowing protocols are available:

                     smtp        Normal SMTP session with opportunistic
                                 STARTTLS (the default).
                     smtp+tls    Normal SMTP session with mandatory START‐
                                 TLS.
                     smtp+notls  Plain text SMTP session without TLS.
                     lmtp        LMTP session.  port is required.
                     smtps       SMTP session with forced TLS on connection,
                                 default port is 465.
                     Unless noted, port defaults to 25.

                     The label corresponds to an entry in a credentials ta‐
                     ble, as documented in table(5).  It is used with the
                     “smtp+tls” and “smtps” protocols for authentication.
                     Server certificates for those protocols are verified by
                     default.

             srs     When relaying a mail resulting from a forward, use the
                     Sender Rewriting Scheme to rewrite sender address.

             tls [no-verify]
                     Require TLS to be used when relaying, using mandatory
                     STARTTLS by default.  When used with a smarthost, the
                     protocol must not be “smtp+notls://”.  If no-verify is
                     specified, do not require a valid certificate.

             auth <table>
                     Use the mapping table for connecting to relay-url using
                     credentials.  This option is usable only with host
                     option.  The credential table format is described in
                     table(5).

             mail-from mailaddr
                     Use mailaddr as the MAIL FROM address within the SMTP
                     transaction.

             src sourceaddr | <sourceaddr>
                     Use the string or list table sourceaddr for the source
                     IP address, which is useful on machines with multiple
                     interfaces.  If the list contains more than one
                     address, all of them are used in such a way that traf‐
                     fic is routed as efficiently as possible.

     bounce warn-interval delay [, delay ...]
             Send warning messages to the envelope sender when temporary
             delivery failures cause a message to remain on the queue for
             longer than delay.  Each delay parameter consists of a positive
             decimal integer and a unit s, m, h, or d.  At most four delay
             parameters can be specified.  The default is "bounce
             warn-interval 4h", sending a single warning after four hours.

     ca caname cert cafile
             Associate the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate file
             cafile with host caname, and use that file as the CA certifi‐
             cate for that host.  caname is the server's name, derived from
             the default hostname or set using either /etc/mail/mailname or
             using the hostname directive.

     filter chain-name chain {filter-name [, ...]}
             Register a chain of filters chain-name, consisting of the fil‐
             ters listed from filter-name.  Filters part of a filter chain
             are executed in order of declaration for each phase that they
             are registered for.  A filter chain may be used in place of a
             filter for any directive but filter chains themselves.

     filter filter-name phase phase-name match conditions decision
             Register a filter filter-name.  A decision about what to do
             with the mail is taken at phase phase-name when matching
             conditions.  Phases, matching conditions, and decisions are
             described in MAIL FILTERING, below.

     filter filter-name proc proc-name
             Register "proc" filter filter-name backed by the proc-name
             process.

     filter filter-name proc-exec command
             Register and execute "proc" filter filter-name from command.
             If command starts with a slash it is executed with an absolute
             path, else it will be run from “/usr/local/libexec/smtpd/”.

     include "pathname"
             Replace this directive with the content of the additional con‐
             figuration file at the absolute pathname.

     listen on interface [family] [options]
             Listen on the interface for incoming connections, using the
             same syntax as for ifconfig(8).  The interface parameter may
             also be an interface group, an IP address, or a domain name.
             Listening can optionally be restricted to a specific address
             family, which can be either inet4 or inet6.

             The options are as follows:

             auth [<authtable>]
                     Support SMTPAUTH: clients may only start SMTP transac‐
                     tions after successful authentication.  Users are
                     authenticated against either their own normal login
                     credentials or a credentials table authtable, the for‐
                     mat of which is described in table(5).

             auth-optional [<authtable>]
                     Support SMTPAUTH optionally: clients need not authenti‐
                     cate, but may do so.  This allows a listen on directive
                     to both accept incoming mail from untrusted senders and
                     permit outgoing mail from authenticated users (using
                     match auth).  It can be used in situations where it is
                     not possible to listen on a separate port (usually the
                     submission port, 587) for users to authenticate.

             ca caname
                     For secure connections, use the CA certificate associ‐
                     ated with caname (declared in a ca directive) as the CA
                     certificate when verifying client certificates.

             filter name
                     Apply filter name on connections handled by this lis‐
                     tener.

             hostname hostname
                     Use hostname in the greeting banner instead of the
                     default server name.

             hostnames <names>
                     Override the server name for specific addresses.  The
                     names table contains a mapping of IP addresses to host‐
                     names.  If the address on which the connection arrives
                     appears in the mapping, the associated hostname is
                     used.

             mask-src
                     Omit the from part when prepending “Received” headers.

             no-dsn  Disable the DSN (Delivery Status Notification) exten‐
                     sion.

             pki pkiname
                     For secure connections, use the certificate associated
                     with pkiname (declared in a pki directive) to prove a
                     mail server's identity.

             port [port]
                     Listen on the given port instead of the default port
                     25.

             proxy-v2
                     Support the PROXYv2 protocol, rewriting appropriately
                     source address received from proxy.

             received-auth
                     In “Received” headers, report whether the session was
                     authenticated and by which local user.

             senders <users> [masquerade]
                     Look up the authenticated user in the users mapping ta‐
                     ble to find the email addresses that user is allowed to
                     submit mail as.  In addition, if the masquerade option
                     is provided, the From header is rewritten to match the
                     sender provided in the SMTP session.

             smtps   Support SMTPS, by default on port 465.  Mutually exclu‐
                     sive with tls.

             tag tag
                     Clients connecting to the listener are tagged with the
                     given tag.

             tls     Support STARTTLS, by default on port 25.  Mutually
                     exclusive with smtps.

             tls-require [verify]
                     Like tls, but force clients to establish a secure con‐
                     nection before being allowed to start an SMTP transac‐
                     tion.  With the verify option, clients must also pro‐
                     vide a valid certificate to establish an SMTP session.

     listen on socket [options]
             Listen for incoming SMTP connections on the Unix domain socket
             /var/run/smtpd.sock.  This is done by default, even if the
             directive is absent.

             The options are as follows:

             filter name
                     Apply filter name on connections handled by this lis‐
                     tener.

             mask-src
                     Omit the from part when prepending “Received” headers.

             tag tag
                     Clients connecting to the listener are tagged with the
                     given tag.

     match options action name
             If at least one mail envelope matches the options of one match
             action directive, receive the incoming message, put a copy into
             each matching envelope, and atomically save the envelopes to
             the mail spool for later processing by the respective dis‐
             patcher name.

             The following matching options are supported and can all be
             negated:

             [!] for any
                     Specify that session may address any destination.

             [!] for local
                     Specify that session may address any local domain.
                     This is the default, and may be omitted.

             [!] for domain domain | <domain>
                     Specify that session may address the string or list ta‐
                     ble domain.

             [!] for domain regex domain | <domain>
                     Specify that session may address the regex or regex ta‐
                     ble domain.

             [!] for rcpt-to recipient | <recipient>
                     Specify that session may address the string or list ta‐
                     ble recipient.

             [!] for rcpt-to regex recipient | <recipient>
                     Specify that session may address the regex or regex ta‐
                     ble recipient.

             [!] from any
                     Specify that session may originate from any source.

             [!] from auth
                     Specify that session may originate from any authenti‐
                     cated user, no matter the source IP address.

             [!] from auth user | <user>
                     Specify that session may originate from authenticated
                     user or user list user, no matter the source IP
                     address.

             [!] from auth user | <user>
                     Specify that session may originate from authenticated
                     regex or regex list user, no matter the source IP
                     address.

             [!] from local
                     Specify that session may only originate from a local IP
                     address, or from the local enqueuer.  This is the
                     default, and may be omitted.

             [!] from mail-from sender | <sender>
                     Specify that session may originate from sender or
                     sender list sender, no matter the source IP address.

             [!] from mail-from regex sender | <sender>
                     Specify that session may originate from regex or regex
                     list sender, no matter the source IP address.

             [!] from rdns
                     Specify that session may only originate from an IP
                     address that resolves to a reverse DNS.

             [!] from rdns hostname | <hostname>
                     Specify that session may only originate from an IP
                     address that resolves to a reverse DNS matching string
                     or list string hostname.

             [!] from rdns regex hostname | <hostname>
                     Specify that session may only originate from an IP
                     address that resolves to a reverse DNS matching regex
                     or list regex hostname.

             [!] from socket
                     Specify that session may only originate from the local
                     enqueuer.

             [!] from src address | <address>
                     Specify that session may only originate from string or
                     list table address which can be a specific address or a
                     subnet expressed in CIDR-notation.

             [!] from src regex address | <address>
                     Specify that session may only originate from regex or
                     regex table address which can be a specific address or
                     a subnet expressed in CIDR-notation.

             In addition, the following transaction options:

             [!] auth
                     Matches transactions which have been authenticated.

             [!] auth username | <username>
                     Matches transactions which have been authenticated for
                     user or user list username.

             [!] auth regex username | <username>
                     Matches transactions which have been authenticated for
                     regex or regex list username.

             [!] helo helo-name | <helo-name>
                     Specify that session's HELO / EHLO should match the
                     string or list table helo-name.

             [!] helo regex helo-name | <helo-name>
                     Specify that session's HELO / EHLO should match the
                     regex or regex table helo-name.

             [!] mail-from sender | <sender>
                     Specify that transactions's MAIL FROM should match the
                     string or list table sender.

             [!] mail-from regex sender | <sender>
                     Specify that transactions's MAIL FROM should match the
                     regex or regex table sender.

             [!] rcpt-to recipient | <recipient>
                     Specify that transaction's RCPT TO should match the
                     string or list table recipient.

             [!] rcpt-to regex recipient | <recipient>
                     Specify that transaction's RCPT TO should match the
                     regex or regex table recipient.

             [!] tag tag
                     Matches transactions tagged with the given tag.

             [!] tag regex tag
                     Matches transactions tagged with the given tag regex.

             [!] tls
                     Specify that transaction should take place in a TLS
                     channel.

     match options reject
             Reject the incoming message during the SMTP dialogue.  The same
             options are supported as for the match action directive.

     mda wrapper name command
             Associate command with the mail delivery agent wrapper named
             name.  When a local delivery specifies a wrapper, the command
             associated with the wrapper will be executed instead.  The com‐
             mand may contain format specifiers (see FORMAT SPECIFIERS).

     mta max-deferred number
             When delivery to a given host is suspended due to temporary
             failures, cache at most number envelopes for that host such
             that they can be delivered as soon as another delivery succeeds
             to that host.  The default is 100.

     pki pkiname cert certfile
             Associate certificate file certfile with host pkiname, and use
             that file to prove the identity of the mail server to clients.
             pkiname is the server's name, derived from the default hostname
             or set using either /etc/mail/mailname or using the hostname
             directive.  If a fallback certificate or SNI is wanted, the ‘*’
             wildcard may be used as pkiname.

             A certificate chain may be created by appending one or many
             certificates, including a Certificate Authority certificate, to
             certfile.  The creation of certificates is documented in
             starttls(8).

     pki pkiname key keyfile
             Associate the key located in keyfile with host pkiname.

     pki pkiname dhe params
             Specify the DHE parameters to use for DHE cipher suites with
             host pkiname.  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.

     proc proc-name command
             Register an external process named proc-name from command.
             Such processes may be used to share the same instance between
             multiple filters.  If command starts with a slash it is exe‐
             cuted with an absolute path, else it will be run from
             “/usr/local/libexec/smtpd/”.

     queue compression
             Store queue files in a compressed format.  This may be useful
             to save disk space.

     queue encryption [key]
             Encrypt queue files with EVP_aes_256_gcm(3).  If no key is
             specified, it is read with getpass(3).  If the string stdin or
             a single dash (‘-’) is given instead of a key, the key is read
             from the standard input.

     queue ttl delay
             Set the default expiration time for temporarily undeliverable
             messages, given as a positive decimal integer followed by a
             unit s, m, h, or d.  The default is four days (4d).

     smtp ciphers control
             Set the control string for SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(3).  The
             default is "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5".

     smtp limit max-mails count
             Limit the number of messages to count for each session.  The
             default is 100.

     smtp limit max-rcpt count
             Limit the number of recipients to count for each transaction.
             The default is 1000.

     smtp max-message-size size
             Reject messages larger than size, given as a positive number of
             bytes or as a string to be parsed with scan_scaled(3).  The
             default is "35M".

     smtp sub-addr-delim character
             When resolving the local part of a local email address, ignore
             the ASCII character and all characters following it.  The
             default is ‘+’.

     srs key secret
             Set the secret key to use for SRS, the Sender Rewriting Scheme.

     srs key backup secret
             Set a backup secret key to use as a fallback for SRS.  This can
             be used to implement SRS key rotation.

     srs ttl delay
             Set the time-to-live delay for SRS envelopes.  After this
             delay, a bounce reply to the SRS address will be discarded to
             limit risks of forged addresses.  The default is four days
             (4d).

     table name [type:]pathname
             Tables provide additional configuration information for
             smtpd(8) in the form of lists or key-value mappings.  The for‐
             mat of the entries depends on what the table is used for.
             Refer to table(5) for the exhaustive documentation.

             Each table is identified by an arbitrary, unique name.

             If the type is db, information is stored in a file created with
             makemap(8); if it is file or omitted, information is stored in
             a plain text file using the format described in table(5).  The
             pathname to the file must be absolute.

     table name {value [, ...]}
             Instead of using a separate file, declare a list table contain‐
             ing the given static values.  The table must contain at least
             one value and may declare multiple values as a comma-separated
             (whitespace optional) list.

     table name {key=value [, ...]}
             Instead of using a separate file, declare a mapping table con‐
             taining the given static key-value pairs.  The table must con‐
             tain at least one key-value pair and may declare multiple pairs
             as a comma-separated (whitespace optional) list.

   MAIL FILTERING
     In a regular workflow, smtpd(8) may accept or reject a message based
     only on the content of envelopes.  Its decisions are about the handling
     of the message, not about the handling of an active session.

     Filtering extends the decision making process by allowing smtpd(8) to
     stop at each phase of an SMTP session, check that conditions are met,
     then decide if a session is allowed to move forward.

     With filtering, a session may be interrupted at any phase before an
     envelope is complete.  A message may also be rejected after being sub‐
     mitted, regardless of whether the envelope was accepted or not.

     The following phases are currently supported:

           connect      upon connection, before a banner is displayed
           helo         after HELO command is submitted
           ehlo         after EHLO command is submitted
           mail-from    after MAIL FROM command is submitted
           rcpt-to      after RCPT TO command is submitted
           data         after DATA command is submitted
           commit       after message is fully is submitted

     At each phase, various conditions may be matched.  The fcrdns, rdns,
     and src data are available in all phases, but other data must have been
     already submitted before they are available.

           fcrdns                   forward-confirmed reverse DNS is valid
           rdns                     session has a reverse DNS
           rdns <table>             session has a reverse DNS in table
           src <table>              source address is in table
           helo <table>             helo name is in table
           auth                     session is authenticated
           auth <table>             session username is in table
           mail-from <table>        sender address is in table
           rcpt-to <table>          recipient address is in table

     These conditions may all be negated by prefixing them with an exclama‐
     tion mark:

           !fcrdns                  forward-confirmed reverse DNS is invalid

     Any conditions using a table may indicate that tables hold regex by
     prefixing the table name with the keyword regex.

           helo regex <table>       helo name matches a regex in table

     Finally, a number of decisions may be taken:

           bypass                   the session or transaction bypasses
                                    filters
           disconnect message       the session is disconnected with message
           junk                     the session or transaction is junked,
                                    i.e., an ‘X-Spam: yes’ header is added
                                    to any messages
           reject message           the command is rejected with message
           rewrite value            the command parameter is rewritten with
                                    value

     Decisions that involve a message require that the message be RFC valid,
     meaning that they should either start with a 4xx or 5xx status code.
     Descisions can be taken at any phase, though junking can only happen
     before a message is committed.

   FORMAT SPECIFIERS
     Some configuration directives support expansion of their parameters at
     runtime.  Such directives (for example action maildir, action mda) may
     use format specifiers which are expanded before delivery or relaying.
     The following formats are currently supported:

           %{sender}            sender email address, may be empty string
           %{sender.user}       user part of the sender email address, may
                                be empty
           %{sender.domain}     domain part of the sender email address, may
                                be empty
           %{rcpt}              recipient email address
           %{rcpt.user}         user part of the recipient email address
           %{rcpt.domain}       domain part of the recipient email address
           %{dest}              recipient email address after expansion
           %{dest.user}         user part after expansion
           %{dest.domain}       domain part after expansion
           %{user.username}     local user
           %{user.directory}    home directory of the local user
           %{mbox.from}         name used in mbox From separator lines
           %{mda}               mda command, only available for mda wrappers

     Expansion formats also support partial expansion using the optional
     bracket notations with substring offset.  For example, with recipient
     domain “example.org”:

           %{rcpt.domain[0]}       expands to “e”
           %{rcpt.domain[1]}       expands to “x”
           %{rcpt.domain[8:]}      expands to “org”
           %{rcpt.domain[-3:]}     expands to “org”
           %{rcpt.domain[0:6]}     expands to “example”
           %{rcpt.domain[0:-4]}    expands to “example”

     In addition, modifiers may be applied to the token.  For example, with
     recipient “User+Tag@Example.org”:

           %{rcpt:lowercase}          expands to “user+tag@example.org”
           %{rcpt:uppercase}          expands to “USER+TAG@EXAMPLE.ORG”
           %{rcpt:strip}              expands to “User@Example.org”
           %{rcpt:lowercase|strip}    expands to “user@example.org”

     For security concerns, expanded values are sanitized and potentially
     dangerous characters are replaced with ‘:’.  In situations where they
     are desirable, the “raw” modifier may be applied.  For example, with
     recipient “user+t?g@example.org”:

           %{rcpt}        expands to “user+t:g@example.org”
           %{rcpt:raw}    expands to “user+t?g@example.org”

                              is derived from the local hostname returned by
                              gethostname(3), either directly if it is a
                              fully qualified domain name, or by retrieving
                              the associated canonical name through

EXAMPLES top

     The default smtpd.conf file which ships with OpenBSD 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.

     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:

           # touch /etc/mail/secrets
           # chmod 640 /etc/mail/secrets
           # chown root:_smtpd /etc/mail/secrets
           # echo "bob username:password" > /etc/mail/secrets

     smtpd.conf would look like this:

           table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
           table secrets file:/etc/mail/secrets

           listen on lo0

           action "local_mail" mbox alias <aliases>
           action "outbound" relay host smtp+tls://bob@smtp.example.com \
                   auth <secrets>

           match from local for local action "local_mail"
           match from local for any action "outbound"

     In this second example, the aim is to permit mail delivery and relaying
     only for users that can authenticate (using their normal login creden‐
     tials).  An RSA certificate must be provided to prove the server's
     identity.  The mail server listens on all interfaces the default routes
     point to.  Mail with a local destination is sent to an external MDA.
     First, the RSA certificate is created:

           # openssl genrsa -out /etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key 4096
           # openssl req -new -x509 -key /etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key \
                   -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

     In the example above, a certificate valid for one year was created.
     The configuration file would look like this:

           pki mail.example.com cert "/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

           action mda_with_aliases mda "/path/to/mda -f -" alias <aliases>
           action mda_without_aliases mda "/path/to/mda -f -"
           action "outbound" relay

           match for local action mda_with_aliases
           match from any for domain example.com action mda_without_aliases
           match for any action "outbound"
           match auth from any for any action "outbound"

     For sites that wish to sign messages using DKIM, the following example
     uses opensmtpd-filter-dkimsign for DKIM signing:

           table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases

           filter "dkimsign" proc-exec "filter-dkimsign -d <domain> -s <selector> \
                   -k /etc/mail/dkim/private.key" user _dkimsign group _dkimsign

           listen on socket filter "dkimsign"
           listen on lo0 filter "dkimsign"

           action "local_mail" mbox alias <aliases>
           action "outbound" relay

           match for local action "local_mail"
           match for any action "outbound"

     Alternatively, the opensmtpd-filter-rspamd package may be used to pro‐
     vide integration with rspamd, a third-party daemon which provides mul‐
     tiple antispam features as well as DKIM signing.  As well as configur‐
     ing rspamd itself, it requires use of the proc-exec keyword:

           filter "rspamd" proc-exec "filter-rspamd"

     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 following example uses a list table
     other-relays to specify the IP addresses of relays that may legiti‐
     mately originate mail with the owner's domain as the sender.

           table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases
           table other-relays file:/etc/mail/other-relays

           listen on lo0
           listen on egress

           action "local_mail" mbox alias <aliases>
           action "outbound" relay

           match for local action "local_mail"
           match for any action "outbound"
           match !from src <other-relays> mail-from "@example.com" for any \
                 reject
           match from any for domain example.com action "local_mail"
