<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>
- An update to the system filter to protect broken MS mail
- clients from the real world has been produced. This protects
- against the bug described on <A HREF="http://www.securityfocus.com/frames/?content=/templates/article.html%3Fid%3D61">
- BugTraq</A> where a long date string can subvert the client.
- The filter can be found at <A HREF="ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/filter/">
- <tt>ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/filter/</tt></a> or
- <A HREF="system_filter.exim">here</A>. The file contains
- installation instructions.
+ 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>
- Exim Version 3.15 is available - see the <a
- href="mirrors.html">availability</a> pages to get hold of a
- copy.
- </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> . This is an exim system
- filter which attempts to detect executables including the
- types responsible for the recent Windows/Outlook mail worms.
- It is not infallible, but many sites may find it useful.
- </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>Exim Book</h2>
+ <p>The <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/exim/">definitive exim book</a>,
