+    <h2>First International Exim Conference and Tutorial</h2> <p>There
+    will be an Exim Conference on 23 and 24 February 2005 in
+    Birmingham, UK.  <a

     <h2>Current Versions</h2>
     <p>
-      Current Exim versions are <b>3.36</b> and <b>4.14</b>, both of
-      which are bug fix releases over the previous versions.
+      The current version of Exim is <b>4.43</b>.  See the <a
+      href="mirrors.html"><b>Download</b></a> page to get a copy.
+      There were a number of issues with earlier <b>4.3x</b> versions
+      so their use is discouraged.  Security fixes in this release
+      mean that all previous versions should be obsoleted in favour of
+      4.34 or 4.41.  Users of 4.40 should be aware that there is an
+      issue which may cause the exim daemon to die - this is fixed in
+      4.41 and later.

-    <h2>Exim Course</h2> 
-    <p>The University of Cambridge Computing Service is hosting a <a
-    href="http://www-tus.csx.cam.ac.uk/courses/exim/">fifth course</a>
-    on the Exim mail transfer agent on Monday 30 June to Wednesday 2
-    July 2003 in Robinson College, Cambridge. The course is suitable
-    for those new to Exim as well as more experienced users. In
-    addition to Dr Philip Hazel, there will be two external speakers.</p>
+    <p>Exim 3 and previous versions are now considered obsolete.  Exim 3
+    is not being developed any further, nor is it being actively
+    maintained, though if a really serious bug were found, it would be
+    looked at.</p>
+
+    <p>The old system filter has been deleted from the site - it is
+    not appropriate for current mail configurations.  If you are still
+    using it please discontinue immediately - it creates severe
+    collateral spam issues.</p>
