+Exim is a mail transfer agent (MTA) used on Unix-like operating systems. 
+It is freely available under the GNU GPL and it aims to be a general 
+and flexible mailer with extensive facilities for checking incoming e-mail.
+
+Exim was orginally written by Philip Hazel for use in the University 
+of Cambridge Computing Services e-mail systems. 
+
+Exim has no configure but requires the exim.Makefile. This file is included
+with the makefile. The exim.Makefile has some of the more important attributes
+enabled such as Content scanning, Database integration ((only Mysql), extra 
+security facilities (such as TCPWRAPPERS) and more.  
+
+Also "eximon" (the configuration for this is eximon.Makefile) and  has been 
+included which a nice and simple monitoring tool for X and hence can be used 
+from any console to monitor your MTA. Please read through both files 
+and mofidy them as you see fit.
+
+All documentation for exim is included in /usr/doc/exim-*. Another good 
+source for documentation can be found at http://www.exim-new-users.co.uk/.
+
+To fully integrate Exim with the rest of your system you would have to create 
+symlinks for sendmail to point to the exim binary. Please *NOTE* that this 
+might break sendmail from working. If you ever remove exim, you might need to
+reinstall Sendmail.
+
+Finally Exim can be integrated with other email tools such as Clamav,
+Spamassassin, Bogofilter and others, which are available at Slackbuilds.org.
