University of Manchester uses Exim on its mailrouters (we block port 25 in
and outbound and force all mail for the Uni and associated sites through
them) which handle mail for 30,000+ users now and 45,000+ soon. Roughly 1.5
million emails per week. We use exiscan with spam assassin and
sophie/sophos. We have four main routers (any one should be able to handle
the full load at a push) and two for handling non-local domains.
These deliver to a variety of Mercury, Exchange, Unix (sendmail, exim etc)
and soon Oracle Collaboration Suite.
Until about a year ago we were using *cough*exim 2*cough* but now are on
exim 4. Exim Just Works. Any problems we have are hardware related or a
function of the anti-spam or anti-virus software and these are few and far
between.
Even in the current climate of accountability, support contracts and
'Business Continuance' we would not consider replacing Exim with anything
else.
