Package Information

Descriptionsupport files for all Exim MTA (v4) packages

Exim (v4) is a mail transport agent. exim4-base provides the support files needed by all exim4 daemon packages. You need an additional package containing the main executable. The available packages are:

exim4-daemon-light exim4-daemon-heavy exim4-daemon-mod

If you build exim4 from the source package locally, you can also build an exim4-daemon-custom package tailored to your own feature set.

The Debian exim4 packages have their own web page, http://wiki.debian.org/PkgExim4. There is also a Debian-specific FAQ list. Information about the way the Debian packages are configured can be found in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz, which additionally contains information about the way the Debian binary packages are built. The very extensive upstream documentation is shipped in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/spec.txt.gz. To repeat the debconf-driven configuration process in a standard setup, invoke dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. There is a Debian-centered mailing list, pkg-exim4-users@lists.alioth.debian.org. Please ask Debian-specific questions there, and only write to the upstream exim-users mailing list if you are sure that your question is not Debian-specific. You can find the subscription web page on http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-exim4-users

Comment: The following people helped in preparing the exim4 packages and gave
 important feedback:
 Marc Merlin provides the dlopen patch, making it possible to load
 local_scan-routines for a external shared object.
 The original patch was written by David Woodhouse, it was modified first
 by Derrick 'dman' Hudson and afterwards by Marc Merlin.
 Sander Smeenk provided the TLS-docs and the script to generate the
 self-signed certificates.
 The people on the exim4debian list that submitted bug-reports and -fixes,
 and helped with design issues: Matthias Klose, Alexander Koch, Ola
 Lundqvist, Andrew Mulholland, David Pashley, Andreas Piesk, Nick Phillips
 and whoever I forgot to mention.
 syslog2eximlog script by Martin Godisch.
 Hilko Bengen converted the Debian documentation from plain-text to XML
 format.
