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,

- sendmail.
+ 3, but its facilities are more general. There is a great deal
+ of flexibility in the way mail can be routed, and there are

- An expanded introduction is available.

+ This is a volunteer run website with no connection to The

+
+ Current Versions
+
+ The current version of Exim is 4.30. See the Download page to get a copy.
+
+
+ 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.
+
+ Exim Books
+
+ The new Exim 4
+ book is available. See the book website for
+ further information.
