+#
+# 'mau_trial_days' is a means to add a grace period for active users. It

+# sign up in a short space of time never to return after their initial
+# session.
+#
+# 'mau_limit_alerting' is a means of limiting client side alerting

+  #
+  # If no configuration is provided, a single job will be set up to delete expired
+  # events in every room daily.
+  #
+  # Each job's configuration defines which range of message lifetimes the job
+  # takes care of. For example, if 'shortest_max_lifetime' is '2d' and
+  # 'longest_max_lifetime' is '3d', the job will handle purging expired events in
+  # rooms whose state defines a 'max_lifetime' that's both higher than 2 days, and

+  # 'longest_max_lifetime' of '3d' will handle every room with a retention policy
+  # which 'max_lifetime' is lower than or equal to three days.
+  #
+  # The rationale for this per-job configuration is that some rooms might have a
+  # retention policy with a low 'max_lifetime', where history needs to be purged
+  # of outdated messages on a more frequent basis than for the rest of the rooms

+# Note that ACME v1 is now deprecated, and Synapse currently doesn't support

+# By default, if you enable ACME support, Synapse will attempt to listen on

+# with 'Permission denied' or a similar error.
+#
+# There are a couple of potential solutions to this:
+#
+#  * If you already have an Apache, Nginx, or similar listening on port 80,
+#    you can configure Synapse to use an alternate port, and have your web
+#    server forward the requests. For example, assuming you set 'port: 8009'
+#    below, on Apache, you would write:
+#
+#    ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge http://localhost:8009/.well-known/acme-challenge
+#
+#  * Alternatively, you can use something like `authbind` to give Synapse

+#   - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the account the

+#     attempts for this account.
+#   - one for ratelimiting redactions by room admins. If this is not explicitly
