Since the official PDFs are gated, the community relies on a few reliable mirrors and third-party breakdowns. The best public repository for understanding the config file structure is actually the PowerMTA User Guide (legacy versions) available via academic and open-source mirrors.
Note: Always verify directives against your specific major version (v4.x vs v5.x), as syntax changes.
The most common public resource link for the config spec is: powermta config file link
*(Due to the dynamic nature of documentation sites, a direct link often breaks. Instead, search for: *"PowerMTA 4.5 Configuration Reference PDF")
The PowerMTA config file is the central configuration file that controls the behavior of the email server. It's usually located at /etc/powermta/config or a similar path, depending on your installation. The config file is divided into several sections, each responsible for a specific aspect of PowerMTA's functionality. Since the official PDFs are gated, the community
The SMTP settings section configures PowerMTA's behavior as an SMTP server. Some key parameters include:
Example:
smtp_port = 25;
smtp_auth = true;
allowed_senders = ["127.0.0.1", "192.168.1.0/24"];
I couldn’t find a direct, official link to a PowerMTA configuration file in your message — but if you’re looking for the main PowerMTA config file location or a reference/sample config, here’s what you need:
# Inside /etc/pmta/pmta.config
include /etc/pmta/sources/isp-aol.conf
include /etc/pmta/sources/isp-gmail.conf
include /etc/pmta/domains/my-virtual-domains.conf
PowerMTA (PMTA) is a high-performance Message Transfer Agent (MTA) designed for bulk email delivery. Its behavior is determined by a hierarchical set of configuration files. Unlike many applications that rely on a single monolithic file, PowerMTA allows and encourages splitting configuration into multiple files and linking them together. This enables modular, manageable, and reusable configuration structures—critical for large-scale sending operations. *(Due to the dynamic nature of documentation sites,
The primary entry point is typically /etc/pmta/config (or /usr/local/pmta/config). This file uses a directive called include to link other configuration files.
