-    <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>
-	Current Exim versions are <b>3.36</b> and <b>4.12</b>, both of
-	which are bug fix releases over the previous versions.
-      </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> 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>

+    <h2>Current Versions</h2>
+    <p>
+      The current version of Exim is <b>4.41</b>.  See the <a
+      href="mirrors.html"><b>Download</b></a> page to get a copy.
+      There were a number of issues with earlier <b>4.3x</b> 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.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>RPM builds of exim for many versions of Red Hat and Fedora
+    distributions are available at <a
+    href="ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/rpms-for-exim/"><tt>ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/rpms-for-exim/</tt></a></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>Mailman</h2>
+
+    <p>The <a href="howto/mailman21.html">Exim/Mailman HOWTO</a> for
+      Mailman 2.1 with Exim 4 has been rewritten.</p>
+
+    <h2>Exim Books</h2> 
+
+    <p>The new <a href="http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book/"> Exim 4
+    book</a> is available.  See the <a
+    href="http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book/">book website</a> for
+    further information.</p>
+
+    <p>The O'Reilly <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/exim/">Exim 3
+	book</a> is still available.</p>
 
-    <h2>Exim Book</h2>
-    <p>The <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/exim/">definitive exim version 3 book</a>, 
-      written by Philip Hazel, is still available.  Orders can
-      be placed through a number of the on-line retailers.  A new book
-      covering exim version 4 (to be published by a different
-      publisher) is currently in preparation.</p>
