Subject: [Exim] Exim 4.40 release
I have just put Exim release 4.40 on the primary ftp site:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.40.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim4/exim-4.40.tar.bz2

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are quite a few new features in this release, and some performance
enhancements, as well as some general tidies and bug fixes.

As usual, all changes are in the doc/ChangeLog file and new features are
described in the doc/NewStuff file. See also the README.UPDATING file for
changes that might impact on some installations. The manual has been updated
for this release.
