As far as I recall I did the following:
cd /usr/src/
wget
ftp://ftp.cus.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programs/exim/exim-3.14.tar.gz
tar -xvzf exim-3.14.tar.gz
cd exim-3.14
cp src/EDITME Local/Makefile
vi Local/Makefile <---- EDIT FOR YOUR SYSTEM
make
make install
then i hacked up a configuration file and put it at /usr/exim/configure
and used /usr/exim/bin/exim -bd to start the exim daemon.
That was basically it I think. Oh, 3.15 is out now so you may want to nick
that. I'm not sure if the procedure is any different than for 3.14 - I
wouldn't imagine so.
Anyone care to lend any more advice?
Ol.

Subject: [Exim] Can anybody help a new Linus user ??
I'm new to Linux and i have been given the task of installing exim. Has
anybody got any literature (apart from that on the exim.org site, which i
have found not to help me much). Or any links to sites which i may find of
use. Any help or advice with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any clues, as I'm getting nowhere fast.
Cheers Leigh
