# mblaze-profile(5)

configuration of the mblaze message system

## NAME

**mblaze-profile** – configuration of the mblaze message system

## DESCRIPTION

The [mblaze(7)](/mblaze/7.md) message system can be configured with a *profile* file, which is located in the directory *~/.mblaze* (or MBLAZE if set.)

*profile* consists of lines, similar to RFC 2822 headers, in the form

```
key: value
```

The key ‘**#**’ may be used to precede a comment:

```
#: comment
```

Please note that empty lines will halt parsing.

The following *key*s are used by [mblaze(7)](/mblaze/7.md):

- Local-Mailbox:

  Your primary mail address, used as the default value for From: in [mcom(1)](/mcom/1.md), and in [mscan(1)](/mscan/1.md) to recognize messages sent to you.

- Alternate-Mailboxes:

  A comma-separated list of mail addresses that also belong to you, for [mscan(1)](/mscan/1.md) to recognize messages sent by or directly to you.

- FQDN:

  The fully qualified domain name used for Message-Id: generation in [mgenmid(1)](/mgenmid/1.md).

- Outbox:

  If set, [mcom(1)](/mcom/1.md) will create draft messages in this maildir, and save messages there after sending.

- Reply-From:

  A comma-separated list of mail addresses (formatted like this: ‘My Name \<username@domain\>’) that are automatically used for the From: header in a reply if present in the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: header. If not set, Alternate-Mailboxes: will be used as a default.

- Scan-Format:

  The default format string for [mscan(1)](/mscan/1.md).

- Sendmail:

  The program that [mcom(1)](/mcom/1.md) will call to send mail. (Default: ‘sendmail’).

- Sendmail-Args:

  Flags to be passed to the Sendmail: program. (Default: ‘**-t**’).

## ENVIRONMENT

- MBLAZE

  Directory containing mblaze configuration files. (Default: *$HOME/.mblaze*)
