Apart from various workstations & other small systems, the following systems
run by the Cambridge University Computing Service are now running Exim:
thor.cam.ac.uk (from smail, early 1996) Undergraduate Unix Teaching System
[c. 500 users]. A system on which the official line is to discourage local
mail, and what-the-hell-they're-only-students-anyway, and so suitable as
guinea-pigs. The first local use of Exim on a seriously multi-user system.
cus.cam.ac.uk (from smail, June 1996) "Central Unix Service"
[c. 5000 users, 2 x 8-cpu SparcServer 1000's]. For real users, whose
complaints about mail matter...
hermes.cam.ac.uk (from smail [pp until early 1995?], July-August 1996)
Central mail store [c. 10000 users]. Used as a login-for-pine / imap /
pop service for workstations. Main mail service for undergraduates.
ppsw.cam.ac.uk (from pp, August 1996) central cam.ac.uk mail switches
[potentially all cam.ac.uk users]. Backup MX records for many domains.
Handles cam.ac.uk, lists.cam.ac.uk, ucs.cam.ac.uk domains, inter alia.
Used to handle Grey Book mail, but thankfully that is in the past.
Of course, this rapid conversion to Exim is entirely on its merits, and
nothing to do do with the fact that we can browbeat Philip Hazel into adding
all the features we want...
