For several reasons I was unhappy with the Exim packages Debian ships.
So I started my own attempts to package Exim as close as possible to the
original Exim and as close as possible to that what a seasoned Debian
Admin would expect.

But, be ware, it is in a "works-for-me" status. I use the built packages
on several hosts of my own and my customers infrastructure.

Currently the worst thing is the libopendmarc issue (Debian ships a
version which is not compatible with the latest Exim versions. So I put
the version Exim needs as a patch into the package and it gets installed
in and linked from /usr/lib/exim4/libopendmarc or so.)
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
