<p>Exim is a message transfer agent (<b>MTA</b>) developed at the
University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the
installed in place of sendmail, although the configuration of exim
is quite different to that of sendmail.</p>

- <h2>New Things</h2>
- <ul>
- <li><i>Please note that this web site is updated asynchronously with
- exim releases, and may sometimes trail versions by a few days or
- even weeks</i></li>
- <li>
- Current Exim versions are <b>3.36</b> and <b>4.12</b>, both of
- which are bug fix releases over the previous versions.
- </li>
- <li>
- A <b>Generic Windows Executable Content</b> filter is
- available at <a href="ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/filter/">
- ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/filter/</a> or <A
- HREF="system_filter.exim">here</A>. This is an exim system
- filter which attempts to detect Windows executables, and block
- the messages containing them. It has limitations - specifically
- related to trying to parse MIME with regular expressions,
- but many people are using it as a cheap means of protection.
- <b>NB this is no longer being maintained.</b>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <h2>OSDir.com site</h2>
- <p>There is an <a href="http://osdir.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=140&ttitle=Exim">
- entry for exim</a> on O'Reilly's <a
- hred="http://OSDir.com">OSDir.com</a> site. At the time of
- writing this has very little content, but people may wish to
- correct that...</p>
+ <h2>Current Versions</h2>
+ <p>
+ The current version of Exim is <b>4.50</b>. See the <a
+ href="mirrors.html"><b>Download</b></a> page to get a copy.
+ There are security issues fixed in this version so all users are
+ encouraged to upgrade.
+ </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>
+
+ <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>
- <h2>Exim Book</h2>
- <p>The <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/exim/">definitive exim version 3 book</a>,
- written by Philip Hazel, is still available. Orders can
- be placed through a number of the on-line retailers. A new book
- covering exim version 4 (to be published by a different
- publisher) is currently in preparation.</p>
