+SYNOPSIS
+========
+vmm.cfg
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+**vmm**\(1) reads its configuration data from *vmm.cfg*.
+
+The configuration file is split into multiple sections. A section starts with
+the section name, enclosed in square brackets '**[**' and '**]**', followed
+by '*option* = *value*' pairs::
+
+    [database]
+    host = 127.0.0.1
+
+Whitespace around the '=' and at the end of a value is ignored.
+
+Empty lines and lines starting with '#' or ';' will be ignored.
+
+Each value uses one of the following data types:
+
+* *Boolean* to indicate if something is enabled/activated (true) or
+  disabled/deactivated (false).
+
+  | Accepted values for *true* are: **1**, **yes**, **true** and **on**.
+  | Accepted values for *false* are: **0**, **no**, **false** and **off**.
+
+* *Int* an integer number, written without a fractional or decimal component.
+
+  | For example **1**, **50** or **321** are integers.
+
+* *String* a sequence of characters and numbers.
+
+  | For example '**word**', '**hello world**' or '**/usr/bin/strings**'
+
+SEARCH ORDER
+-------------
+By default **vmm**\(1) looks for *vmm.cfg* in the following directories in the
+order listed:
+
+     | */root*
+     | */usr/local/etc*
+     | */etc*
+
+The first configuration file found will be used.
+
+SECTIONS
+========
+This section describes all sections and their options of the *vmm.cfg*.
+
+ACCOUNT
+-------
+The options in the section **account** are used to specify user account
+related settings.
+
+``delete_directory`` : *Boolean*
+    Determines the behavior of **vmm**\(1) when an account is deleted. If
+    this option is set to *true* the user's home directory will be deleted
+    recursively.
+
+``directory_mode`` : *Int*
+    Access mode for a user's home directory and all directories inside.
+    The value has to be specified in decimal (base 10) notation.
+
+    | For example: 'drwx------' -> octal 0700 -> decimal 448
+
+``disk_usage`` : *Boolean*
+    Determines whether the disk usage of a user's Maildir always should be
+    summarized, using **du**\(1), and displayed with account information.
+
+    This could be slow on large Maildirs. When you have enabled quotas,
+    **vmm**'s **userinfo** subcomammand will also display the current quota
+    usage of the account. You may also use **userinfo**'s optional argument
+    **du** or **full**, in order to display the current disk usage of an
+    account.
+
+``imap`` : *Boolean*
+    Determines whether a newly created user can log in via IMAP.
+
+``password_length`` : *Int*
+    Determines how many characters and/or numbers should be used for random
+    generated passwords. Any value less than 8 will be increased to 8.
+
+``pop3`` : *Boolean*
+    Determines whether a newly created user can log in via POP3.
+
+``random_password`` : *Boolean*
+    Determines whether **vmm** should generate a random password when no
+    password was given for the **useradd** subcommand. If this option is
+    set to *false* **vmm** will prompt you to enter a password for the new
+    account.
+
+    You can specify the password length of generated passwords with the
+    **password_length** option.
+
+``sieve`` : *Boolean*
+    Determines whether a newly created user can log in via ManageSieve.
+
+``smtp`` : *Boolean*
+     Determines whether a newly created user can log in via SMTP (SMTP AUTH).
+
+Example::
+
+    [account]
+    delete_directory = false
+    directory_mode = 448
+    disk_usage = false
+    random_password = true
+    password_length = 10
+    smtp = true
+    pop3 = true
+    imap = true
+    sieve = true
+
+BIN
+---
+The **bin** section is used to specify some paths to some binaries required
+by **vmm**\(1).
+
+``dovecotpw`` : *String*
+    The absolute path to the dovecotpw binary. This binary is used to
+    generate a password hash, if **misc.password_scheme** is set to one of
+    'SMD5', 'SSHA', 'CRAM-MD5', 'HMAC-MD5', 'LANMAN', 'NTLM' or 'RPA'.
+
+``du`` : *String*
+    The absolute path to **du**\(1). This binary is used to summarize the
+    disk usage of a user's Maildir.
+
+``postconf`` : *String*
+    The absolute path to Postfix' **postconf**\(1). This binary is required
+    when **vmm**\(1) has to check for some Postfix settings, e.g.
+    `virtual_alias_expansion_limit`.
+
+Example::
+
+    [bin]
+    dovecotpw = /usr/sbin/dovecotpw
+    du = /usr/bin/du
+    postconf = /usr/sbin/postconf
+
+CONFIG
+------
+The **config** section is an internal used control section.
+
+``done`` : *Boolean*
+    This option is set to *false* when **vmm**\(1) is installed for the first
+    time. When you edit *vmm.cfg*, set this option to *true*. This option is
+    also set to *true* when you configure **vmm**\(1) with the command **vmm
+    configure**.
+
+    If this option is set to *false*, **vmm**\(1) will start in the
+    interactive configurations mode.
+
+Example::
+
+    [config]
+    done = true
+
+DATABASE
+--------
+The **database** section is used to specify some options required to
+connect to the database.
+
+``host`` : *String*
+    Hostname or IP address of the database server.
+
+``name`` : *String*
+    Name of the database.
+
+``pass`` : *String*
+    Database password.
+
+``user`` : *String*
+    Name of the database user.
+
+Example::
+
+    [database]
+    host = localhost
+    user = vmm
+    pass = PY_SRJ}L/0p-oOk
+    name = mailsys
+
+DOMAIN
+------
+The **domain** section specifies some domain related settings.
+
+``auto_postmaster`` : *Boolean*
+    Determines if **vmm**\(1) should create also a postmaster account when a
+    new domain is created.
+
+``delete_directory`` : *Boolean*
+    Specifies whether the domain directory and all user directories inside
+    should be deleted when a domain is deleted.
+
+``directory_mode`` : *Int*
+    Access mode for the domain directory in decimal (base 10) notation.
+
+    | For example: 'drwxrwx---' -> octal 0770 -> decimal 504
+
+``force_deletion`` : *Boolean*
+    Force deletion of accounts and aliases when a domain is deleted.
+
+Example::
+
+    [domain]
+    auto_postmaster = true
+    delete_directory = false
+    directory_mode = 504
+    force_deletion = false
+
+MAILDIR
+-------
+The **maildir** section is used to specify some default options for new
+created Maildirs and folders inside.
+
+``folders`` : *String*
+    A colon separated list of folder names, that should be created. If no
+    folders should be created inside the Maildir, set the value of this
+    option to a single colon ('**:**').
+
+    If you want to create folders containing one or more subfolders, separate
+    them with a single dot ('**.**').
+
+``name`` : *String*
+    Default name of the Maildir folder in users home directories.
+
+Example::
+
+    [maildir]
+    folders = Drafts:Sent:Templates:Trash:Lists.Dovecot:Lists.Postfix
+    name = Maildir
+
+MISC
+----
+The **misc** section is used to define miscellaneous settings.
+
+``base_directory`` : *String*
+    All domain directories will be created inside this directory.
+
+``password_scheme`` : *String*
+    Password scheme to use (see also: **dovecotpw -l**).
+
+``gid_mail`` : *Int*
+    Numeric group ID of group mail (`mail_privileged_group` from
+    *dovecot.conf*)
+
+``transport`` : *String*
+    Default transport for domains and accounts. For details see
+    **transport**\(5).
+
+``dovecot_version`` : *Int*
+    The concatenated major and minor version number of the currently used
+    Dovecot version. (see: **dovecot --version**).
+
+    This option affects various database operations. There are some
+    differences between Dovecot v1.1.x and v1.2.x. For example, when the
+    command **dovecot --version** shows 1.1.18, set the value of this option
+    to **11**.
+
+Example::
+
+    [misc]
+    base_directory = /srv/mail
+    password_scheme = CRAM-MD5
+    gid_mail = 8
+    transport = dovecot:
+    dovecot_version = 11
