<p>Exim is a message transfer agent (<b>MTA</b>) developed at the
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>Exim Course</h2>
+
+ <p>The University of Cambridge Computing Service is hosting a
+ seventh <a
+ href="http://www-tus.csx.cam.ac.uk/courses/exim/">course on the
+ Exim Mail Transfer Agent</a> on Tuesday 12th July to Friday 15th
+ July 2005 in Robinson College, Cambridge. The course has been
+ extended to 3 days. The course is suitable for those new to Exim
+ as well as more experienced users. In addition to Dr Philip Hazel,
+ there will be other external speakers.
+ </p>
+ <p><a href="http://www-tus.csx.cam.ac.uk/courses/exim/">Further
+ details here</a></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>Exim Bugzilla</h2>
+
+ <p>If you find a bug in Exim or the documentation, please register
+ a bug in the <a href="http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/">Exim
+ Bugzilla</a></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>

+ book</a> is available. See the <a

+ further information.</p>
