Seems like somebody's forgotten about this site. There's still the exim-announce mailing list (http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-announce) though.
Not fresh anymore?
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>
Exim is excellent!
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!
