Exim is a mail transfer agent for Unix systems connected to the Internet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
. Exim is intended for use as an Internet mailer, and therefore handles

|
|
|
addresses in RFC 822 domain format only. (No bangpaths!)

|
|
|
|
. The only external transport currently implemented is an SMTP transport
|
|
|
|
|
over a TCP/IP network (using sockets). A pipe transport is available,
|
|
|
|
|
and this could be used to send messages to some other transport mechanism.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
. Exim is very configurable, and its management is very powerful. It can
|
|
|
|
|
be configured to be "fussy" about certain hosts or domains, and
|
|
|
|
|
can easily serve multiple domains.

. Exim is an excellent mailer for an ISP, as its control and flexibility
|
|
|
|
|
are very good.

. Its requeuing and retry algorithms are very powerful.
