.section "Unpacking" "SECID23"
Exim is distributed as a gzipped or bzipped tar file which, when unpacked,
creates a directory with the name of the current release (for example,
-&_exim-&version;_&) into which the following files are placed:
+&_exim-&version()_&) into which the following files are placed:
.table2 140pt
.irow &_ACKNOWLEDGMENTS_& "contains some acknowledgments"
For the utility programs, old versions are renamed by adding the suffix &_.O_&
to their names. The Exim binary itself, however, is handled differently. It is
installed under a name that includes the version number and the compile number,

+for example &_exim-&version()-1_&. The script then arranges for a symbolic link
called &_exim_& to point to the binary. If you are updating a previous version
of Exim, the script takes care to ensure that the name &_exim_& is never absent
from the directory (as seen by other processes).

.section "The SMTP DKIM ACL" "SECTDKIMACL"
The &%acl_smtp_dkim%& ACL is available only when Exim is compiled with DKIM support
received, and is executed for each DKIM signature found in a message. If not
otherwise specified, the default action is to accept.

fields record the router and transport that were used to process the address.

+If an authenticated identification was set up by the authenticator's &%client_set_id%&

If a shadow transport was run after a successful local delivery, the log line
