This is the complete list of settings used by DSMTP, DPOP and DList which is generated automatically
when DMail is compiled.
Many settings in this list will never be fully documented, as they will not be needed by all but one
or two customers. We tend to add them at a very fast rate
and often for very specific situations :-)
You may also find that you can find more information on a new setting by searching for it on the
updates page.
NB: The defaults shown are the code defaults, i.e. for when you have NO setting in
dmail.conf, often DMSetup will have inserted recommended 'defaults' for you when it
installed DMail. See the individual descriptions for such defaults.
