6 Configuration

On start aegee-milter reads its configuration file. The configuration file is called aegee-milter.ini . The file must be located either under $sysconfdir during installation, or passed to aegee-milter with the -c parameter.

The format of the file is INI-style. It is parsed according to glib’s rules. The section names and the keys within a section are case-sensitive.

A module or a list is loaded at execution time, if there is a section in the configuration file with the name of the module or the list. Sections may be emtpy. For configuring each module or list there is a separate section. Sections refering non-existent modules or lists are ignored.

The core needs two sections, called General and Milter.
