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.
-
-Before you can build Exim, you have to create an "exim" user and group:
-
- # groupadd -g 222 exim
- # useradd -d /var/spool/exim -g exim -s /bin/false -u 222 exim
-
-The recommended uid/gid is 222, but others are fine if you prefer -
-see http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt for other recommendations.
-
-There's no "configure" script; instead Exim is configured by editing a well
-documented Makefile, which is then included during the build process. The
-provided "exim.Makefile" will build an all-purpose Exim daemon with the
-most common features. The various database lookup methods will not be
-built by default but can be enabled easily on the command line or by
-editing a few lines in the Makefile.

-Exim can be integrated with other email tools such as Clamav, Spamassassin,

-WARNING: this package is intended as a drop-in replacement for Sendmail.
-As a result, there are some inevitable filename conflicts between Sendmail
-and Exim. REMOVE SENDMAIL BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PACKAGE!

-The SQL- and LDAP-lookups will not be built by default,
-but you can enable them easily by passing the directives
-on the command line when calling this script, e.g.
