13 | The general Exim development process and resources are documented in | |
14 | the wiki page at L<http://wiki.exim.org/EximDevelopment> - although | |
15 | the wiki is likely to be moved and rehashed in the near future. | |
16 | ||
17 | The sections below this duplicate much of the information form the | |
18 | wiki document. | |

56 | If you are using a Linux or other freely available Unix like operating | |
57 | system it is very likely that your system will have Exim packaged for | |
58 | it already. In this case it is probably prudent to use these packages | |
59 | unless you have specialised requirements. | |
60 | ||

61 | In any case you can always ask on the |
62 | Exim Users mailing list L<https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users> | |
