Exim is a mail transfer agent (MTA) used on Unix-like operating systems.
|
|
It is freely available under the GNU GPL and it aims to be a general
|
|
and flexible mailer with extensive facilities for checking incoming e-mail.
|
|
|
|
Exim was orginally written by Philip Hazel for use in the University
|
|
of Cambridge Computing Services e-mail systems.
|
|
|
|
Exim has no configure but requires the exim.Makefile. This file is included
|
|
with the makefile. The exim.Makefile has some of the more important attributes
|
|
enabled such as Content scanning, Database integration ((only Mysql), extra
|
|
security facilities (such as TCPWRAPPERS) and more.
|
|
|
|
Also "eximon" (the configuration for this is eximon.Makefile) and has been
|
|
included which a nice and simple monitoring tool for X and hence can be used
|
|
from any console to monitor your MTA. Please read through both files
|
|
and mofidy them as you see fit.
|
|
|
|
All documentation for exim is included in /usr/doc/exim-*. Another good
|
|
source for documentation can be found at http://www.exim-new-users.co.uk/.
|
|
|
|
To fully integrate Exim with the rest of your system you would have to create
|
|
symlinks for sendmail to point to the exim binary. Please *NOTE* that this
|
|
might break sendmail from working. If you ever remove exim, you might need to
|
|
reinstall Sendmail.
|
|
|
|
Finally Exim can be integrated with other email tools such as Clamav,
|
|
Spamassassin, Bogofilter and others, which are available at Slackbuilds.org.
