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.

- An update to the system filter to protect broken MS mail
- clients from the real world has been produced. This protects
- against the bug described on
- BugTraq where a long date string can subvert the client.
- The filter can be found at
- ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/filter/ or
- here. The file contains
- installation instructions.

- Exim Version 3.15 is available - see the availability pages to get hold of a
- copy.

- 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.

+ 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.
+
+ An expanded, although outdated, introduction is available.
+
+
+
+ This is a volunteer run website with no connection to The
+ University of Cambridge or any other institution.
+
+
+ Current Versions
+
+ The current version of Exim is 4.20. 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.
+
+ Exim Course
+
+ The University of Cambridge Computing Service is hosting a fifth course
+ on the Exim mail transfer agent on Monday 30 June to Wednesday 2
+ July 2003 in Robinson College, Cambridge. The course is suitable
+ for those new to Exim as well as more experienced users. In
+ addition to Dr Philip Hazel, there will be two external speakers.
+ Further information and registration details can be found on http://www-tus.csx.cam.ac.uk/courses/exim/.
+
+ Exim Books
+
+ The new Exim 4
+ book is expected to be available in early May 2003. See the
+ book website for
+ further information.
+
+ The O'Reilly Exim 3
+ book is still available.
