Exim isn't going to just up and leave overnight - that just can't happen. The domain, mirrors, wiki, and bug list are all still actively maintained. The code is as solid now as it was when Phil retired and there have been no major, show stopping bugs presented since 4.68. There are a few bug fixes

Hi, I noticed Marc Perkel's post a few weeks ago about the ongoing life of Exim and he was swiftly diverted to exim-dev. There isn't much on there about what is happening in the future and what the plans are etc. I also note that exim-future is under-nourished with messages. A lot of us out here
