- 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,

- <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>4.05</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>

- <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>
