+Exim is a mail transfer agent for Unix systems connected to the Internet.
+
+ . Exim is intended for use as an Internet mailer, and therefore handles
+ addresses in RFC 822 domain format only.
+
+ . The only external transport currently implemented is an SMTP transport
+ over a TCP/IP network (using sockets). A pipe transport is available,
+ and this could be used to send messages to some other transport mechanism.
+
+ . Exim is very configurable, and its management is very powerful. It can
+ be configured to be "fussy" about certain hosts or domains, and
+ can easily serve multiple domains.
+
+ . Its requeuing and retry algorithms are very powerful.
