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.
