Description: An MTA (Mail Transport Agent)
This MTA is rather easier to configure than smail or sendmail.
It is a drop-in replacement for sendmail/mailq/rsmtp.
Advanced features include the ability to reject connections from
known spam sites, and an extremely efficient queue processing
algorithm.
Description: An obsolete MTA (Mail Transport Agent), replaced by exim4
This package contains exim 3, an outdated version of the exim Mail
Transport Agent. This package is not going to be updated any more,
and its users are encouraged to update to exim4, the current version
of exim, or to migrate towards an entirely different MTA.
.
There is no automated update path from exim 3 to exim4 since the
configuration formats are rather different. Debian's exim4 packages
will try to pre-seed their debconf questions from an exim 3
configuration that is found on the system. This will work fine for an
exim 3 configuration created by eximconfig, the configuration tool
used by Debian's exim 3 packages. If you have manually tweaked your
exim 3 configuration, you'll most probably need to tweak your new exim
4 configuration as well.
.
The exim 4 README.Debian file installed to
/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.* has more information about
updating from exim 3.
