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>4.10</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>First International Exim Conference and Tutorial</h2> <p>There
+ will be an Exim Conference on 23 and 24 February 2005 in
+ Birmingham, UK. <a
+ href="http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-conference/">Further details are
+ available</a>.</p>
+
+ <h2>Current Versions</h2>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </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 book</a>,
- written by Philip Hazel, is now available. Orders can
- be placed through a number of the on-line retailers.</p>
