Description
Exim serves as a mail transfer agent (MTA) for Unix-like operating systems. Initially developed by Philip Hazel in 1995 for the University of Cambridge Computing Service's email systems, Exim is released under the GPL, allowing users to freely download, utilize, and modify it. While it shares some similarities with Smail 3, Exim has evolved to offer greater user-friendliness and flexibility. Both Exim and Smail 3 operate on the Sendmail design model, where a single main binary manages all MTA functionalities. Although this monolithic architecture is sometimes viewed as less secure and slower, Exim boasts a superior security record compared to Sendmail and matches the performance of Qmail and Postfix, particularly in advanced functions like queue management, address routing, and testing. Notably, Exim lacks a built-in Graphical User Interface (GUI) for configuration, although some Linux distributions may provide one, enhancing its accessibility for users who prefer a visual approach. As a result, Exim remains a versatile choice for those looking to manage email systems effectively.
Description
Mail from external sources is collected by Mercury and deposited into the designated mailbox of the recipient, enabling the user to retrieve it whenever they wish. When local users wish to send messages to the outside, these messages are forwarded to Mercury, which manages the delivery process, alleviating the workload on the user's device and permitting them to focus on other tasks. With a dialup connection, only the mail server needs to have access to that link, meaning individual workstations do not require their own modems or Internet connections. This setup allows the mail server to continue managing email even if the client workstations are powered down, thereby supporting functionalities that require constant service availability, such as automatic replies and auto-forwarding. As a result, users enjoy a seamless experience without the need for constant vigilance over their email communications.
