[»] Not fresh anymore?
by David Necas (Yeti) - Aug 15th 2004 13:04:12

Does anyone announce new releases? Current version of Exim is 4.41 while 4.34 is shown as the latest here. Kind of spoiled meat... <sigh>

Seems like somebody's forgotten about this site. There's still the exim-announce mailing list though.

[»] Exim is excellent!
by Brian Knotts - Mar 18th 1999 06:35:16

I have recently had to switch to sendmail (not by my own decision) at work, and it is crude by comparison. Exim is very configurable, but its configuration is much more straightforward. Also, the GUI eximon thingy is very useful. I find myself wanting to use it, and missing it.

I run exim on my home box still, and will use it whereever possible in the future.

Many thanks to the people working on exim; your hard work has resulted in the best mailer daemon, bar none!
