<p>Exim is a message transfer agent (<b>MTA</b>) developed at the
University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the
Internet. It is freely available under the terms of the <b>GNU
General Public Licence</b>. In style it is similar to <b>Smail
- 3</b>, but its facilities are more extensive, and in particular it
- has some defences against mail bombs and unsolicited junk mail in
- the form of options for refusing messages from particular hosts,
- networks, or senders. It can be installed in place of sendmail,
- although the configuration of exim is quite different to that of
- sendmail.</p>

- <p>An expanded <a href="intro.html">introduction is available</a>.</p>

- <h2>New Things</h2>
- <ul>
- <li>
- Exim Version 3.22 is available - see the <a
- href="mirrors.html">availability</a> pages to get hold of a
- copy. Documentation has been updated to match.

- filter which attempts to detect executables including the
- types responsible for the Windows/Outlook mail worms, and also
- the recent bugs with header length checking (see this <A
- HREF="http://www.securityfocus.com/frames/?content=/templates/article.html%3Fid%3D61">
- BugTraq article</A>). It is not infallible, but many sites
- may find it useful. The file contains installation
- instructions.
