According to the FAQ:
Q5026: What does "Exim" stand for?
A5026: Originally, it was "EXperimental Internet Mailer", which was
the best I could come up with when I was starting out. At that point
it was experimental - I wanted to see if the ideas I had for extending
Smail's approach actually worked. Then somebody discovered about it
and wanted to start using it, and told other people about it...
