I think your assertion, that many Exim installations are out-of-date, is probably wrong. I run Centos (a Red Hat derivative) versions 5 and 6. The Exim for:- Centos 5.11 is 4.63 Centos 6.7 is 4.72 Whilst these versions are not the latest, they are for security and bug purposes certainly "up-to-date" because the Epel Repository retrospectively patch these versions. "Latest" and "up-to-date" do not always share the identical meaning :-) Regards, Paul A happy and contented Exim user. England, EU. England's place is in the European Union. -- Regards, Paul.
