Subject: [Exim] Exim 4.23 released
I have just put Exim release 4.23 on the primary ftp site:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.23.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.23.tar.bz2

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release contains bug fixes and also a number of new features (check out
the doc/NewStuff file). Tom Kistner is on vacation at the moment. As a result,
there won't be a corresponding Exiscan release until he gets back (at the end
of the month, I think).

I myself am going to be away for a while in the latter half of October. I won't
be putting out any releases containing new features before then, though if
serious bugs are discovered, there may be bug-fix releases. Another reason for
a release now is that I'm about to get a new workstation, and it will take some
time to install an OS and move my development environment onto it.

The next planned release is 4.30 with updated documentation, that I'm hoping to
have ready towards the end of November.
