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.
- -The University of Cambridge Computing Service is hosting a + seventh course on the + Exim Mail Transfer Agent on Tuesday 12th July to Friday 15th + July 2005 in Robinson College, Cambridge. The course has been + extended to 3 days. The course is suitable for those new to Exim + as well as more experienced users. In addition to Dr Philip Hazel, + there will be other external speakers. +
+ + ++ 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.
+ +The Exim/Mailman HOWTO for + Mailman 2.1 with Exim 4 has been rewritten.
+ +The new Exim 4 + book is available. See the book website for + further information.
+ +The O'Reilly Exim 3 + book is still available.
