+      <h3>Mirroring the content</h3>
+
+      <p>All of the exim web site content is available through
+      rsync, and this is the recommended means for mirroring the
+      web site content. </p>
+
+      <p>The rsync URL is <a href="rsync://ftp.exim.org/www">rsync://ftp.exim.org/www</a></p>
+
+      <p>However the more normal means to quote the rsync path is
+      <tt>ftp.exim.org::www</tt></p>
+
+      <p>The rsync path for the ftp area is <tt>ftp.exim.org::ftp</tt></p>
+
+      <h3>Configuring your httpd</h3>
+
+      <p>Your httpd obviously needs to see the mirrored content.
+      There are also some other tweaks - Apache aliases - which are
+      needed. The paths that need aliasing are currently only the
+      <tt>/ftp></tt> path which either needs pointing to your ftp
+      mirror, or redirecting to a reasonable mirror of the exim ftp
+      site.</p>
+
+      <p>If and when the mailing list archives are put on line,
+      these may also need handling in a special way.</p>
+
+      <h3>Branding your site</h3>
+
+      <p>In some small recognition of the ISPs and other
+      organisations who donate the web site space, bandwidth and
+      management, the web site has a brandable component -
+      specifically the section of the main window imports the
+      <tt>branding/branding.html</tt> file. By aliasing this path
+      you can tailor this to put a sponsors logo in place.</p>
+
+      <h3>Tell people about it</h3>
+
+      <p><a href="http://bugs.exim.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Infrastructure&amp;component=Mirrors&amp;bug_severity=wishlist">Register
+      a bug</a> in the Exim Bugzilla under
+      Infrastructure/Mirrors so that the mirmon information can be
+      updated.  Join the <a href="http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-mirrors">exim-mirrors</a>
+      list so we can tell you of any changes to mirroring practice.</p>
