Domain Specific Settings
Note: Most 'matching' settings take wild card lists as parameters, for example "fred*" will match "freddy" and "Fred@bob". And "1.2.*,2.3.*" will match 1.2.4.4 and 2.3.99.100.
address - Virtual Domain IP
This is not a setting itself but part of the vdomain setting. The vdomain setting is like a section heading, it divides the configuration file into sections, the global section comes first followed by any number of domain sections or vdomain blocks.
The address part of the vdomain setting is the IP number of this virtual domain. You will also need to configure your operating system and network to respond to this IP address. Doing this for specific operating systems is described on this page in more detail.
domain_name - Domain MX Record name
This is not a setting itself, but part of the vdomain setting. The vdomain setting is like a section heading it divides the configuration file into sections. The global section comes first followed by any number of domain sections or vdomain blocks.
This is the name of this virtual domain of the mail server. It is a domain name it accepts mail for. The mail server supports any number of virtual domains. See this page for a discussion on different types of virtual domains.
eg: if you are wanting to send mail to user@mydomain.com this setting should be "mydomain.com". But if you are wanting to send mail to user@mail.mydomain.com this setting should be "mail.mydomain.com"
This setting is seperate from your actual hostname of the system running your email server. These will often be the same but if they are not it is important that the url_host setting setting is set to correctly resolve your server. eg: You could have domain_name = mydomain.com and url_host = mail.mydomain.com if your mail server is separate from your web server and your main company web server is already hosted on mydomain.com.
abook - Define surgeweb shared address books for this domain
The read/write fields should be a list of valid usergroups or * for all users
Syntax: abook name=string read=string write=string type=string
access_group_default - Default group to place users in
Specifies the default g_access_group to place users in this domain into.
Syntax: access_group_default string
admin_access_default - Default features granted to domain admins in this domain
This setting allows you to specify default access to certain SurgeMail features. It is specified in the same maner as the g_admin_access settings 'access' parameter. eg:
admin_access_default "all,!users,!reports"
Syntax: admin_access_default string
alias_file - Alias file
In addition each domain has it's own 'alias' file (domain.name/alias.dat). You can create alias files using the same syntax as used in UNIX systems /etc/aliases. The format is:
username: destination bob: fred@domain.com joe: joesmith
This file only exists for backward compatibility.
Syntax: alias_file string
alias_max - Maximum number of aliases for this domain
Limits the ..total number of aliases allowed in this domain to the value specified.
Syntax: alias_max int
assume_created_epoch - If user has no 'created' field assume they were created an arbitrarily large time in the past
This setting effect the g_disable_smtp_after and g_delete_user_after settings which, by default, ignore users who have not logged in and have no created field.
Syntax: assume_created_epoch bool
blogs_max_per_user - Number of blogs each account can create
This setting has no further documentation currently available
Syntax: blogs_max_per_user int
Example: blogs_max_per_user 10
See also: g_access_group, g_blogs_max_per_user, g_user_blogs
broad_sync - Broadsoft Sync Enable
Customer specific feature

class - Define class of user for following commands to apply to
hidden
Syntax: class type=string from=string users=string groups=string name=string
comment - Management notes and comments about the domain
This is a dummy setting that lets you store information in the ini file that will survive setting changes from the web admin tool.
Syntax: comment date=string name=string comment=string
create_block - Block new users from this IP
Stops users from specific IP addresses from registering in this domain (assuming that you have allowed users to register themselves). Use this to stop known spammers from re-registering on your system.
Syntax: create_block string
create_cleanup - Cleanup existing data before adding a user
This causes a delete to be actioned for a user before/as they are created. This ensures the new user does not end up with any files, on any mailing lists, with any aliases etc from a previous user of the same name/address. If you delete users from the authent database directly i.e. not using the surgemail web admin or calling 'tellmail delete_user' then this setting will cleanup the users files when their address is re-used.
Syntax: create_cleanup bool
create_delete_days - Number of days a disabled new account remains before deletion
Accounts disabled with create_disable_days remain until the specified number of days at which point they are deleted.
Syntax: create_delete_days int
See also: create_disable_days
create_disable_days - Number of days new accounts remain active for
New accounts when created are set to expire after the specified number of days. When this occurs they can no longer login or recieve email.
Syntax: create_disable_days int
See also: create_delete_days
create_image - Use verification image on signups
This adds a verification image to the signup process. The user will be required to correctly enter the value shown in the image to signup
Syntax: create_image bool
create_linkto - Link to redirect to after successful live account creation
This is the web url/link that the user creation process links to once it has created a new and active email account (active means it is ready for use, i.e. not disabled, verified my manager etc)
Syntax: create_linkto string
create_max - Maximum signups from one IP in a day
This setting stops spammers registering hundreds of accounts on your system before sending out a lot of spam. A setting of 2-3 is probably a good idea.
Syntax: create_max int
create_repass - User enters password twice on creation
If true this will show a "Password Again" input in addition to the "Password" input on the user signup page. The user is required to type the password in twice and the passwords are compared to ensure they are identical.
Syntax: create_repass bool
create_reqd - Required fields for new users
A comma separated list of field names. Allowable field names are the "field" value(s) of the g_authent_info setting.
For example, if your setting is:
name,phone
then when a new user is created they will be forced to fill in the name and
phone fields in the registration form.
NOTE: A g_authent_info setting is required to make the field appear on the signup page, eg.
g_authent_info name="Phone" field="phone" access="user" default=""
the above setting causes a field for phone to appear on the signup page and in the user details page.
Syntax: create_reqd string
create_subdomain - Allows users to create an account that belongs to it's own unique domain.
If true this allows users to create accounts with a unique subdomain i.e. firstname@lastname.domain. SurgeMail uses the domuser system to handle sub-doamin users. Wildcard MX records are required to ensure delivery to subdomain users.
Syntax: create_subdomain bool
create_tpl_dir - Relative path to user create pages
The relative path from the web directory to the user creation and user self management pages, these pages are typically called na_*.htm and stored in the /web directory. If you want a different look and feel for a domain simply set this and copy the pages to a directory in /web then modify them.
For example, if your setting is:
otherdomain/
Then you would:
cd /surgemail/web
mkdir otherdomain
copy na_*.htm otherdomain
CD otherdomain
notepad na_login.htm
Syntax: create_tpl_dir string
create_user - Method for adding new users
Can be one of:
| Value | Description |
| open | Anyone can create an account immediately providing name and password. Be sure to set create_max "3" to prevent spammers creating dozens of accounts. |
| Anyone can create an account providing existing email address. | |
| manager | Manager approves account, user provides existing email address. |
| manager_new | Manager activates account, user proves name and password. |
| disabled | Users cannot signup, accounts are created by the Web Admin. |
In 'open' mode users account are created instantly. In 'email' mode they recieve an email and use a link to create their account. In 'manager' mode the manager recieves an email and via a link sends the user an email which they use to create their account. In 'manager_new' mode the account is created disable and the manager receives an email with a link to activate the account.
Syntax: create_user string
delete_user_after - Number of days an account can remain unread before it is deleted

Syntax: disable_surgeplus bool
See also: g_disable_surgeplus
dmail_bin_path - Path for DMail bin files to automatically convert
Path for DMail style bin files to automatically convert. This allows you to import delivered but unpopped mail from DMail bin and mailbox files.

Syntax: dmail_bin_path string
dmail_deliver - Deliver messages into dmail drop directories (not supported)
This setting has no further documentation currently available
Syntax: dmail_deliver bool
dmail_drop_path - Path for drop files to automatically convert

Syntax: encrypt_rule header=string contains=string from=string to=string noconfirm=bool method=string
encrypt_smart - Encrypt smart features enabled for this domain
Not for general use
Syntax: encrypt_smart bool
encrypt_subject - Subject when encrypted message sent - default is original subject
Not yet implemented
Syntax: encrypt_subject string
encrypt_surgeweb_hide - Hide lock icon on surgeweb
This setting has no further documentation currently available
Syntax: encrypt_surgeweb_hide bool
encrypt_token - This setting is not used, instead use smart and ifnew settings
This feature is not controlled by this setting, it's part of the smart features and controlled by the surgeweb options if enabled, instead set encrypt_ifnew and encrypt_smart
Syntax: encrypt_token bool
enotify_from - From address to use in email notification messages
Users can set an email address to send a notify to when they get an email. This setting sets the 'from' header for such messages.
Syntax: enotify_from string
See also: g_enotify_from
expire_age - Expire undeleted mail older than specified age left in INBOX
Use this to trim messages that are left in the INBOX, this means messages that are unread and messages which are read but not moved to another folder. The deleted messages are replaced with a single message explaining which items have been deleted (with from, subject and date of each message deleted). You should define both age and size to enable expiration.
Currently expire ONLY affects 'newmail' ie: mail that is waiting to be read not mail stored in IMAP folders.
Syntax: expire_age int
expire_rule - Expire rules for specific folders
These rules let you specify and expire rule for any folder. The folder match is not case sensitive
e.g. to delete all spam message
over 30 days old and larger than 3k and to empty the trash can each day.
expire_rule folder="Spam"
age="30" size="3k"
expire_rule folder="Trash"
age="1"
You can use wild cards, e.g. Delete all messages over 90 days old larger than 10k unless in the new or archive* folders.
expire_rule folder="*,!new,!archive*" age="90" size="10k"
Syntax: expire_rule folder=string age=int size=int alert=bool
expire_size - Expire undeleted mail larger than specified size (units=bytes)
Use this to trim messages that are not read by users. The deleted messages are replaced with a single message explaining which items have been deleted (with from, subject and date of each message deleted so that anything really important can be recovered). You should define both age and size to enable expiration.
Syntax: expire_size int
fallback - Fallback Email address or account
Specifies a default account to deliver Email to. This is sent to a non existent account. If not defined the Email will be bounced. Setting fallback to "/dev/null" will drop messages (both UNIX and Windows).

This setting has no further documentation currently available
Syntax: fallback_mx bool
fallback_relay - Fallback host to relay non existent accounts to
Specifies a default host to send messages to that are not found in the local user database. This allows you to transition between two mail systems, as new accounts are created the emails will be delivered to SurgeMail, and ones that don't exist will be sent on to the old system automatically. There are several options to make this work using servers that only accept mail if they can do a reverse lookup.
Syntax: fallback_relay string
fallback_users - Path to file listing all users to user fallback_relay for
Useful to remove load from backend server as it doesn't have to be checked for non existent users, the file can contain user@domain or just usernames

forward_illegal - Prevents users setting forward rules to certain addresses
Syntax: g_forward_illegal to="address" apply="user type "
This setting allows you to specify some addresses as being illegal for certain users. This stops users setting up forwarding rules to these addresses. They can still send mail to these addresses manually with their email client. These rules _ONLY_ apply to non local domains.
Some examples:
If you want to stop your users setting up forward rules that redirect to aol.com.
g_forward_illegal to="*@aol.com" apply="user"
If you want to stop your users setting a forward to all domains except aol.com
g_forward_illegal to="*,!*@aol.com" apply="user"
Stop domain admins sending to aol.com
g_forward_illegal to="*@aol.com" apply="domadmin"
Stop admins sending to netwinsite.com
g_forward_illegal to="*@netwinsite.com" apply="admin"
Syntax: forward_illegal to=string apply=string
friends_at_rcpt - Whether to check users friends list at rcpt stage
This setting is automatically added/removed by the web admin when domain level friends defaults are configured. It allows us to check friends at rcpt stage without paying a disk access cost for non-friends users.
Syntax: friends_at_rcpt bool
friends_pending_name - The imap name of the friends_pending folder default is 'Friends Pending'
This shouldn't be changed unless this feature has not been used before as it will confuse your users as they will have the old imap folder too. Ensure you have enabled this feature with g_imap_friends setting
Syntax: friends_pending_name string
See also: friends_at_rcpt, friends_url, g_friends_only, g_friends_bounce_rej, g_friends_bounce_friend, g_friends_cleanup, g_friends_daemon_ok, g_friends_name, g_friends_pending_name, g_friends_silent, g_friends_silent_level, g_friends_ignore, g_friends_skip_ip, g_friends_confirm_subject, g_friends_default_mode, g_friends_default_autoadd, g_friends_msg, g_friends_msg_link, g_friends_latest_headers, g_friends_lang_auto, g_friends_pending_keep, g_friends_pending_max, g_friends_pending_vanish, g_friends_at_rcpt, g_friends_allow_spf, g_friends_spf_fail_bounce, g_friends_check_spf, g_friends_safer, g_friends_always, g_friends_add_trusted, g_friends_global_add, g_friends_global_exclude, g_friends_confirm_debug, g_friends_rotate, g_friends_long, g_friends_ignore_trusted, g_friends_url, g_friends_autodom, g_friends_byemail, g_friends_bounce_second, g_friends_old_status_email, g_friends_obey_spf, g_friends_local_match, g_friends_spam_score, g_friends_status_sort, g_friends_release_wash, g_friends_warnonce, g_friends_debug1, g_imap_friends, g_quota_friends, g_spam_probe_friends, g_user_friends_domain_log_disable, g_user_friends_log_disable

host_alias - Alias name(s) for this virtual domain
When a user sends to 'bob@xx.your.domain.name' or 'bob@yy.your.domain.name' you need to have the alias host names 'xx.your.domain.name' etc, defined or the mail server will reject the message. Wild card's can be used for this setting. Example: host_alias "*.your.domain.name" This can also be used to accept mail directly to the servers ip address eg 'bob@123.4.5.'
Syntax: host_alias string
imap_max_sync - Limit remote imap sync to this many items (not recommended)
This setting has no further documentation currently available
Syntax: imap_max_sync int

Syntax: inbox_archive int
language_default - Default language for user web interface
If the user has not yet selected a language then this language is used as a default. If the language specified here does not exist in the language files, or nothing is specified here then English is used as the default language.
Syntax: language_default string
late_forward - Apply domain users forwarding rules after friends, spam, and filtering
By default users forwarding rules are applied before friends, spam and user filter rules. By default users can tick and option on their forwarding page to perform 'late' forwarding, that is forwarding that occurs after friends, spam and filtering. This option overrides the user option and causes domain users forwarding rules to be applied after friends, spam and filtering.
Syntax: late_forward bool
ldap_anydomain - Lets users search other than their own domain in ldap
If ldap is enabled for the system (g_ldap_port) then this lets users of this domain lookup users in any domain not just this domain.
Syntax: ldap_anydomain bool
See also: ldap_disable, g_ldap_port, g_ldap_forward, g_ldap_outlook_browse_max

Syntax: legal_archive_keep int
list_disable - Disables creation of mailing lists
When set to "TRUE" this disables mailing list creation for this domain.
Syntax: list_disable bool
list_max - Maximum number of mailing lists for this domain
Set this to the maximum number of mailing lists to allow for this domain.
Syntax: list_max int
list_max_users - Maximum number of users allowed in all lists in this domain
This is a quota of users/members for all lists in this domain. The maximum number of members in each list in this domain must total to less or equal to this setting.
eg:
list_max_users "100"
list_max "2"
In this scenario, 100 users could be used in 2 lists. So one list might have 80 users the other 20, but the combined total must be less than or equal to 100 users.
Syntax: list_max_users int
loginfails - Disconnect after failed logins
Disconnect user after this many bad password guesses.
Syntax: loginfails int

Syntax: lookup_relay_on_from bool
mailbox_path - Path to mailbox maildir (inbox) files
Specifies the root directory for users in this domain for their incoming mail messages and mail folders (for IMAP), maildir structure is used and hashing will also be applied so if you specify d:\spool, then 'bob's Email will appear in d:\spool\xx\yy\bob\mdir... where 'xx' and 'yy' are hashing numbers for that user. (Hashing is required to keep directory performance at a high level when you have millions of users).
Syntax: mailbox_path string
manager_email - Managers Email
This is the manager's Email address for this domain. When users register themselves, if you have set create_user to the 'manager' method, an Email will be sent to this Email address to await confirmation of the user creation.
Syntax: manager_email string
manager_username - Domain managers username (for web based domain administration)
Specifies the local users which have manager rights for this domain. These users can login to the user self management interface and will recieve special domain manager options. If you specify an account without the @domain part i.e. 'admin' it assumes admin@
Syntax: manager_username string
msg_max_in - Max size of incoming messages for this domain.
Sets the size of messages for this domain, note that this may affect the ehlo response but only for 'address' based virtual domains, so you must ensure your g_msg_max setting is sufficiently large. Also since this figure may be shown before the msg_max_out value is determined you must also make it larger than the msg_max_out value. We don't recommend using this setting unless it is totally necessary. It is better to choose a g_msg_max setting that all domains can live with.
Syntax: msg_max_in int
msg_max_out - Max size of outgoing messages for smtp authenticated users
Sets the size of messages for this domain, as the email client may have already seen the value of g_msg_max or msg_max_in it may not help setting this value 'larger' than those other values. We do not recommend using this setting, it is best to choose a g_msg_max value that all domains can live with.
Syntax: msg_max_out int
old_imaphost - Intercept mode migration for IMAP folders servers
The old_pophost settings will create a local account and download many mail in your inbox. However in the event that your old server also was an IMAP server you will be able to migrate your stored message folders using the old_imaphost setting. This download is only ever attempted once and does so asynchronously. A 300MB mailbox with 15000 messages will would be expected to take around 20 minutes. While IMAP folders are bing downloaded the mailbox can already be used. Note: the mail on the old server gets deleted.
Upon IMAP login an old_pophost check is also performed if defined. This is specifically so that WebMail accessing SurgeMail using IMAP (recommended configuration) will allow the retrieval of mail from old POP servers.
Syntax: old_imaphost string
old_imaphost_always - Always attempt to suck mail on each IMAP login (slow)
This setting will force the download
of mail and folders from the old server upon each IMAP login. Note: that this
should only be used if specifically required as this will happen for example
each time that a WebMail change made.
Note: This will obviously stop
retrieving mail if the user changes their password in SurgeMail but not on
the old server.
Syntax: old_imaphost_always bool
old_imaphost_createuser_disable - Disable user creation in database on login
If you have already got your users in your authentication database and do not wish to add new users logging in using intercept mode this setting can be used to prevent user creation upon first login to SurgeMail using POP.
Syntax: old_imaphost_createuser_disable bool
old_imaphost_file - Migration based on file
Specialist setting for one specific system, not for general use.
Syntax: old_imaphost_file string
old_imaphost_lowercase - Lowercase all migrated folders
Lowercase all migrated folders.
Syntax: old_imaphost_lowercase bool
old_imaphost_nodelete - Leave mail on the old server
This setting will leave mail on the old server just in case there are problems with the migration. Note: the use of this setting will disable the use of old_imaphost_always.
Syntax: old_imaphost_nodelete bool
old_imaphost_nodomain - Strip domain when logging in to old_imaphost
This can be used if you are migrating from a server that uses username only (without domain) logins.
Syntax: old_imaphost_nodomain bool
old_imaphost_file, old_imaphost_user, old_imaphost_pass - Migration based on file settings
Specialist fileIMAP migration based on file settings.
Syntax: old_imaphost_pass string
old_imaphost_prefix - Mail prefix for old imap server when using old_imaphost
IMAP prefix for old imap server. eg. mail/.
Syntax: old_imaphost_prefix string
old_imaphost_skip - Skip folders
Comma seperate wild card list of migrate folders to skip past.
Syntax: old_imaphost_skip string
old_imaphost_user - Migration based on file - user field
Specialist setting for one specific system, not for general use.
Syntax: old_imaphost_user string
old_inbox_both - Use pop & imap to migrate the inbox
This may create duplicates, you should only use it when the old server keeps the imap and pop inboxes as sepereate entities.
Syntax: old_inbox_both bool
old_pophost - Old pop host for pop intercept mode based migration
Specifies an old POP host that can be used when migrating users from an old mailserver to a new mailserver. This will create a local accounts with a identical username/passwords and retrieve all mail from the old server for the old account when the user logs into SurgeMail for the first time and they are not yet in the SurgeMail user database. Mail on the old server is deleted.
The use of old_pophost adds an additional check (based on partial rcpt delivery - see g_badfrom_check) to user account self creation to prevent user creating accounts that clash with existing accounts that have not been popped on SurgeMail. This means that the old server should only accept delivery to actual accounts or all user account self creation will be disabled.
Syntax: old_pophost string
old_pophost_always - Always attempt to suck mail on each login
Suck mail from old_pophost on each
login (account information is not set at each login). This allows the user
to be using the new mail server and still retrieve mail from the old server
if mail is delivered there. This is useful in two cases:
1) if the user is already using SurgeMail but some mail is still delivered
to the old server due to delays in MX record propagation.
2) To allow incremental migration. Some users can be using the SurgeMail and
some users can be using the old server. Users still on the old server sending
mail to users on SurgeMail would deliver to the old server. When a user on
SurgeMail logs into SurgeMail any such mail is retrieved from the old server.
Note: This will obviously stop
retrieving mail if the user changes their password in SurgeMail but not on
the old server.
Syntax: old_pophost_always bool
old_pophost_bind - Bind outgoing connection during pop migration
This binds to the specified local port during a migration
Syntax: old_pophost_bind string
old_pophost_createuser_disable - Disable user creation in database on login
If you have already got your user in your authentication database and do not wish to setup this setting can be used to prevent user creation upon first login to SurgeMail using POP.
Syntax: old_pophost_createuser_disable bool
old_pophost_inbox - Use pop to migrate the inbox and maintain uidls
This skips the imap migration of the inbox, IF the user logs in via POP, and instead uses pop to migrate the inbox. This means it can maintain the uidl's correctly
Syntax: old_pophost_inbox bool
old_pophost_nodelete - Leave mail on the old server
This setting will leave mail on the old server just in case there are problems with the migration. Note: the use of this setting will disable the use of old_pophost_always.
Syntax: old_pophost_nodelete bool
old_pophost_nodomain - Strip domain when logging in to old_pophost
This can be used if you are migrating from a server that uses username only (without domain) logins.
Syntax: old_pophost_nodomain bool
old_pophost_nofetch - Disable fetching messages from pop host
Useful if you want to migrate the account user/password, but not the messages
Syntax: old_pophost_nofetch bool
old_pophost_sep - Login separator
Seperater, default is '@'. e.g. some systems use %

This setting confuses some clients, and results in the user having to login again. The error is not always shown to the end user by some dumb email clients
Syntax: pop_min_time int
pop_welcome - Welcome message for POP/IMAP
This is the string displayed to the user when they connect to this domain before they login. The same string is also used in IMAP response. See also smtp_welcome.
Syntax: pop_welcome string
prefix - Prefix for usernames in database
This prefix is used in the user database to distinguish these virtual domain users. This setting is for backward compatibility and not generally recommended. It is better to store user@domain.name in the userdatabase rather than just 'username'.
Syntax: prefix string
proxy_pop_nodomain - Strip domain when talking to proxy POP host
This setting causes the domain name to be stripped from user login names when talking to the proxy POP host. This does not apply to surgewall, see surgewall_options for details
Syntax: proxy_pop_nodomain bool
quota_default - Default Email quota for users
This setting allows you to limit disk usage of each user a setting of 10mb is typical. The main reason for this setting is to stop a single user who is being mail bombed using up all your disk space. So even if you don't want to limit disk use you should still set some limit eg:100,000,000 (100mb)
Syntax: quota_default string
quota_domain - Total quota for the domain, e.g. 300mb, 2gig

Syntax: redirect was=string to=string
redirect_cc - CC & Redirect Email to another account
This carbon copy redirects a message so the original user receives it as well as the new user you have specified. This is good for keeping a record of incoming emails for a particular account.
Syntax: redirect_cc was=string to=string
redirect_hash - Share incoming message evenly between several accounts
The sharing is done based on a hash of the 'from' address so that the same 'from' address will always go to the same recipient
Syntax: redirect_hash was=string to=string
redirect_max - Limits the number of redirect rules
This setting applies a limit to the number of redirect rules which are allowed in this domain (only applies to domain admins)
Syntax: redirect_max int
security_suffix - Suffix for smtp/imap/pop login
This setting stops the username matching the email address by requiring a different suffix for logging in, so user@xyz.mail.server instead of user@mail.server. This is like an alias for the domain that only works for logging in.
Syntax: security_suffix string

See also: url_host, disable_surgeplus, surgeplus_pop_server_name, g_url_host_noscan, g_surgeplus_pop_server_name
SurgeWall - Surgewall mailproxy feature (Version 1.4a or greater required)
This allows SurgeMail to be placed as a "filter" in front of an existing mailserver to apply friends rules, spam filtering and/or virus scanning. All you need to do is set this to the existing server address. POP3 will be routed through to the existing server and users can login to the SurgeMail web interface to configure their friends, spam and virus options eg:
surgewall "1.2.3.4"
This setting should be an IP address not an IP and port. Use surgewall_options if you need to specify non-standard ports or a different IP for POP, SMTP and/or IMAP. You may specify a comma seperated list of IP addresses. SurgeWall will connect to each in turn until it gets a successful login. To modify this behaviour see the proxy_failover option of the surgewall_options setting.
See here for more details.
Syntax: surgewall string
surgewall_auth - SurgeWall SMTP authentication
Defines the username and password to use for SMTP authentication when sending to SurgeWall'ed server.
Syntax: surgewall_auth user=string pass=string
surgewall_capa_local - Just return local imap capa response rather than remote
Note that it can only guess the right imap host if you are using ip based virtual domains.
Syntax: surgewall_capa_local bool
surgewall_local_too - For web domain admin try local database too
Allows local user accounts to be created for domain admin
Syntax: surgewall_local_too bool
surgewall_options - SurgeWall miscellaneous options (Version 1.4c or greater required)
This setting controls the SurgeWall miscellaneous configuration options it has several parameters:
| strip_domain | TRUE/FALSE strips the domain name from the username when sending to the original server. |
| proxy_failover | TRUE/FALSE failover mode for several addresses, only use next address if previous one fails to respond. |
| auth_local | TRUE/FALSE requires that users exist locally, no authentication is done via the original server. |
| pop | Comma seperated list of IP addresses and port of the original POP3 server. |
| imap | Comma seperated list of IP addresses and port of the original IMAP server. |
| smtp | Comma seperated list of IP addresses and port of the original SMTP server. |
| usercgi | pop/imap which protocol to use when authenticating logins to the web interface. |
The POP, SMTP and IMAP options allow you to configure SurgeWall to connect to different IPs and/or ports for each interface that it proxies. So for example you can run SurgeWall on the same machine as the old mail server provided the old mail server is configured to run on non-standard ports. eg:
surgewall_options strip_domain="TRUE" pop="127.0.0.1:111" smtp="127.0.0.1:26" imap="127.0.0.1:144"
or perhaps you have the pop, smtp and imap components of the server running on several machines, eg.
surgewall_options strip_domain="TRUE" pop="1.2.3.4:111" smtp="2.3.4.5:26" imap="3.4.5.6:144"
You may specify several different IPs in a comma seperated list in the POP, SMTP and IMAP options if you do this SurgeWall will connect to each in turn until it gets a successful login. The same is true for the SurgeWall setting.
To modify this behaviour you can set proxy_failover to TRUE this causes SurgeWall to only use the next address if it fails to connect to the preceeding address, meaning it will use each server specified only if the previous server is not responding.
Syntax: surgewall_options strip_domain=bool proxy_failover=bool auth_local=bool pop=string smtp=string imap=string usercgi=string
surgewall_saveusers - Save users in the local database as they login

Syntax: url_blogs string
url_host - Mail host A Record name (if different from MX Record name)
This name is used in URLs to this domain. It is important that the hostname specified here will resolve to this physical host running SurgeMail at all times.
It is used by WebMail in the email sent to user upon signup. The email sent to the manager when a user signs up and is the host passed to WebMail when auto-logging a user in. If your auto-logins are failing because of a "cannot connect error" then you may need to set this to the correct host.
Syntax: url_host string
user_access_default - Default user features granted to users in this domain
