exim-3.36: description + notes
exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed
at the University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to
the Internet. 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.
For more details see the exim web site
and the enclosed documentation.
This package has many options enabled: perl code can be used
in Exim's string manipulation language; dbm,
cdb,
OpenLDAP,
MySQL,
nis (a.k.a yp), and
PostgreSQL
lookups are supported;
TLS (openssl), PAM, and tcp_wrappers support is enabled.
The official exim home page has
extensive documentation explaining how to use all these features.
Security note: exim is a setuid root program.
