Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. It is freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. In style it is similar to Smail 3, but its facilities are more general. There is a great deal of flexibility in the way mail can be routed, and there are extensive facilities for checking incoming mail. Exim can be installed in place of sendmail, although the configuration of exim is quite different to that of sendmail.

An implementation of the SPF specification
libspf2 is an implementation of the SPF (Sender Policy Framework) specification as found at: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mengwong-spf-00.txt SPF allows email systems to check SPF DNS records and make sure that an email is authorized by the administrator of the domain name that it is coming from. This prevents email forgery, commonly used by spammers, scammers, and email viruses/worms. A lot of effort has been put into making it secure by design, and a great deal of effort has been put into the regression tests.
