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.
