<para>
Exim is a mail transfer agent (MTA) for hosts that are running Unix or
Unix-like operating systems. It was designed on the assumption that it would be
run on hosts that are permanently connected to the Internet. However, it can be
used on intermittently connected hosts with suitable configuration adjustments.

the PCRE library in other programs, you should obtain and install the full

This chapter specifies all the main configuration options, along with their
types and default values. For ease of finding a particular option, they appear
in alphabetical order in section <xref linkend="SECTalomo"/> below. However, because there
are now so many options, they are first listed briefly in functional groups, as
an aid to finding the name of the option you are looking for. Some options are
listed in more than one group.

This option causes Exim to send 8BITMIME in its response to an SMTP
EHLO command, and to accept the BODY= parameter on MAIL commands.
However, though Exim is 8-bit clean, it is not a protocol converter, and it
takes no steps to do anything special with messages received by this route.
Consequently, this option is turned off by default.

</indexterm>
According to some Sendmail documentation (Sun, IRIX, HP-UX), if any addresses
are present on the command line when the <option>-t</option> option is used to build an
envelope from a message&#x2019;s <emphasis>To:</emphasis>, <emphasis>Cc:</emphasis> and <emphasis>Bcc:</emphasis> headers, the command
line addresses are removed from the recipients list. This is also how Smail
behaves. However, other Sendmail documentation (the O&#x2019;Reilly book) states that
command line addresses are added to those obtained from the header lines. When
<option>extract_&#x200B;addresses_&#x200B;remove_&#x200B;arguments</option> is true (the default), Exim subtracts
argument headers. If it is set false, Exim adds rather than removes argument
addresses.
