<h1>The Exim Home Page</h1>
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 3.13 is available - see the <a

+ <h2>Exim Course</h2>
+ <p>There is an <a href="http://www-tus.csx.cam.ac.uk/courses/exim/">Exim course</a> at the University of Cambridge in July 2004.</p>
+
+ <h2>Current Versions</h2>
+ <p>
+ The current version of Exim is <b>4.34</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.
+ </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.</p>
+
+ <h2>Mailman</h2>
+
+ <p>The <a href="howto/mailman21.html">Exim/Mailman HOWTO</a> for
+ Mailman 2.1 with Exim 4 has been rewritten.</p>
+
+ <h2>Exim Books</h2>
+
+ <p>The new <a href="http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book/"> Exim 4
+ book</a> is available. See the <a
+ href="http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book/">book website</a> for
+ further information.</p>
+
+ <p>The O'Reilly <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/exim/">Exim 3
+ book</a> is still available.</p>
