<\/a>Exim was designed as a mail transfer agent (MTA) that was going to replace the preexisting system from the University of Cambridge. While Exim was based on the older MTA system, it has since grown into a unique, functional system; Exim has become popular due to the flexibility and compatibility with Unix-like operating systems.<\/p>\nThe straightforward setup that comes with Exim allows users to complete setup easily, even without an in-depth knowledge of MTA systems. Additionally, Exim can handle a lot of tasks concurrently, and it is frequently updated<\/a> with bug fixes and system updates. <\/p>\n Before we start installing your Exim mail server, we need to confirm you have a node available. This node can be on Cloud Server<\/a> or a Dedicated Server<\/a>, and it needs to have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed.<\/p>\n You also need to confirm you’ve set up Secure Shell (SSH) root access for your server, which you’ll complete after setting it up to run Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. If you’re not familiar, SSH is a network protocol that’s used when you need to execute secure services over an unsecured connection. By using SSH root access, you can engage in activities even if your connection is not secure.<\/p>\n Installing the Mail Server<\/strong><\/p>\n Now that you have confirmed your node is available, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is installed, and you have SSH root access on your node, it’s time to install Exim.<\/p>\n The first thing to do during this installation is to confirm your server is running the most recent, updated software version and that any repositories that need to be brought up to date are updated: After you’ve verified that your server is up to date, you can proceed with the installation of the Exim mail server :<\/p>\n<\/div>\nGetting Started<\/h2>\n
