3.34 is stable - though practically end of life. Recommended for production
use I think. Exim 4 would mean that you _might_ have to rush to rebuild exim
every time a serious enough bug came up.

Any advantages other than configuration-wise? Performance seems to be a bit
better on my desktop here (which I use to run a system of autoresponders and
a small mailing list is all, other than a few tons of list mail from various
lists I read). Never seen it in production though.
