| A classic O'Reilly title since 1993, sendmail now covers
Versions 8.10 through 8.14 of this email routing program,
including dozens of new features, options, and macros. This
edition also takes a more nuts-and-bolts approach than its
predecessors. It includes both an administration handbook
and a reference guide that provide you with clear options
for installing, configuring and managing sendmail's latest
versions and companion programs.
The sendmail program has withstood the test of time because
of its ability to solve the mail-routing needs of all sites
large or small, complex or simple. But it's also difficult
to configure and even more difficult to understand. That's
why this book has proven valuable since the dawn of email.
With it, you will be able to configure the program to meet
any need, so that you never again have to call in a sendmail
guru to bail you out.
sendmail includes the following sections:
Some Basics is especially useful for people new to the
program. It covers the basic concepts underlying mail
delivery and the roles sendmail plays in that delivery
Administration covers all aspects of handling sendmail, from
downloading and installing new releases to managing mailing
lists and aliases
Configuration Reference contains a heavily cross-referenced
guide for configuring and tuning sendmail. Every arcane
detail of sendmail is listed alphabetically
Appendices contain more detail about sendmail than you may
ever need
This edition also includes new material on SSL and AUTH and
a new chapter on Mitlers. If you're interested in what has
changed since the last edition, one appendix categorizes the
many improvements of sendmail's intervening versions by
chapter, complete with references to the appropriate
sections and page numbers in the book.
With sendmail, system administrators, programmers, network
engineers, and even inexperienced users will be able to
match this challenging but necessary utility to the needs of
their network.
