This section concerns electronic mail servers or mail transfer agents (MTAs).
=== exim-sa ===
The `exim-sa` package is deprecated since Fedora Extras 6. It was the original implementation of SpamAssassin integration with Exim, and was functionally similar to sendmail 'milters' or postfix filters. However, that functionality is rather limited, and Exim now has far better support for content checking, fully integrated into its general-purpose Access Control Lists.
Since the {{{sa_exim}}} feature was not enabled in the default configuration, the package can normally be safely uninstalled to allow Exim to be upgraded. Users who have modified their configuration to use {{{sa_exim}}} features should either reconfigure to use Exim's full content scanning abilities or rebuild the package for themselves to include the `exim-sa` subpackage. For further details on Exim's built-in content scanning, refer to the Exim documentation:

+ === Localized Common User Directories (xdg-user-dirs) ===
+ This release of Fedora now includes the new common user directory structure, `xdg-user-dirs`. Features of these new user directories include:
+
+ * Directory names can be localized (translated)
+ * Includes a set of common directories by default, such as for documents, music, pictures, and downloads.
+ * Appear as common bookmarks in the file browser, and are picked up by many applications as app-specific defaults. For example, a music player would start the file opening dialog in the default music directory.
+ * Configurable by users, who can move or rename the directories via the '''Nautilus''' file manager, or by editing `~/.config/user-dirs.dirs`.
- #the new user-directory feature we've added
- #in test3. Essentially its a set of localized default directories for
- #common use (like documents, music, pictures, and downloads). These
- #directories appear by default as bookmarks in the gtk file selector, and
- #some applications can them as an app-specific default starting location
- #in the file selector, or as default for e.g. the download directory
- #setting. Users can also configure these directories as they like, either
- #by just renaming or moving the directories in nautilus, or manually by
- #editing ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs.
=== Software Management ===
The performance for the `yum` software management utility has been greatly improved in Fedora 7. The repository metadata parser has now been implemented in C. A new mirror management infrastructure also ensures better mirror selection and, in most cases, faster performance. The '''Pirut''' package management tool and the '''Pup''' software update utility are based on `yum`, so their performance is likewise improved.

In June 2007, the Eclipse community is releasing the Europa combined release of an assortment of plugins and features. This will be based on and include version 3.3 of the Eclipse SDK. This is a major change and because of that, Fedora Eclipse is not going to be re-basing on Europa until Fedora 8. This means that versions of Eclipse-based applications included in Fedora such as RSSOwl and Azureus may lag upstream releases if they require features only available in Eclipse 3.3.
