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.

- A Generic Windows Executable Content filter is available
- at
- ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/filter/ . 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.

- Exim Version 3.14 is available - see the availability pages to get hold of a

+ 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.

+
+ Current Versions
+
+ The current version of Exim is 4.43. See the Download page to get a copy.
+ There were a number of issues with earlier 4.3x versions
+ so their use is discouraged. Security fixes in this release
+ mean that all previous versions should be obsoleted in favour of
+ 4.34 or 4.41. Users of 4.40 should be aware that there is an
+ issue which may cause the exim daemon to die - this is fixed in
+ 4.41 and later.
+
+
+ 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.
