I use "Exim version 4.63 #1 built 30-Mar-2011 12:18:10" (from: exim -bV)
on several servers. It is standard software on Centos 5.6 (the reliable
Red Hat clone).
Recently a free-standing server disappeared after its Exim configuration
was changed and before a Save of the changes was done :-(

I use the standard Exim supplied with Centos 5.6 (Exim version 4.63 #1
built 10-Dec-2010 16:36:10)
