The major portion of Exim is a monolithic program, but it forks processes for message-handling. So while not being either a set of programs (Postfix-architecture) nor being a threaded process (in the sense of there being a process with multiple threads-of-control) there is work being done in parallel. There are a few ancillary programs for maintenance actions and ease-of-use too, but they are not really part of the MTA. -- Cheers, Jeremy -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
