<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>
