I am still actively using exim in my own configs, and with time I
updated to 4.80.1 as well.

So yes, there is interest.

My original patchset aimed at including exim and cyrus-imapd along with
their dependencies, which include cyrus-sasl. However this set of
packages required a lot of patches in order to work properly, and some
of those I made were not of good quality. Exim has no nice build system,
and the Cyrus stuff is even worse AFAIR.

At that time I prarably was the only one here interested in these
packages and there was no (sufficient) review from other developers.

So in the end I just forgot about it and did not try to mainline it
after all.

Is your exim implementation changing anything relevant, apart from the
version number?

I'll try to find a little time to resubmit and updated version.
Please send yours, so we can compare them and maybe merge them into a
better one!
