The definitive way of getting a mirror noticed is to add a bugzilla
ticket against Infrastructure, under the Mirrors component - see
http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Infrastructure

That way it won't get lost amongst the huge piles of spam I get to the
exim postmaster/maintainer addresses. [Plus I don't deal with these
requests anyhow]
