14 <p>Exim is a message transfer agent (<b>MTA</b>) developed at the
15 University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the
16 Internet. It is freely available under the terms of the <b>GNU
17 General Public Licence</b>. In style it is similar to <b>Smail
18 3</b>, but its facilities are more general. There is a great deal
19 of flexibility in the way mail can be routed, and there are
20 extensive facilities for checking incoming mail. Exim can be
21 installed in place of sendmail, although the configuration of exim
22 is quite different to that of sendmail.</p>
