The Exim Home Page

Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. It is freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. In style it is similar to Smail - 3, 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.

An expanded introduction is available.

New Things

- The information on the Mailing - Lists also now contains a search form. -
- A Generic Windows Executable Content filter is - available at - ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/filter/ or here. This is an exim system - filter which attempts to detect executables including the - types responsible for the Windows/Outlook mail worms, and also - the recent bugs with header length checking (see this - BugTraq article). It is not infallible, but many sites - may find it useful. The file contains installation - instructions. -
- Exim Version 3.16 is available - see the availability pages to get hold of a - copy. -

+ 3, but its facilities are more general. There is a great deal + of flexibility in the way mail can be routed, and there are + extensive facilities for checking incoming mail. Exim can be + installed in place of sendmail, although the configuration of exim + is quite different to that of sendmail.

+ The Exim Wiki is now online +

Current Versions

+ The current version of Exim is 4.50. See the Download page to get a copy. + There are security issues fixed in this version so all users are + encouraged to upgrade. +

+ +

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.

+ +

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.

+ +

Mailman

+ +

The Exim/Mailman HOWTO for + Mailman 2.1 with Exim 4 has been rewritten.

+ +

Exim Books

+ +

The new Exim 4 + book is available. See the book website for + further information.

+ +

The O'Reilly Exim 3 + book is still available.
