Product Description

Review
"If you are looking for a companion to a mission-critical sendmail instal, the 'other' bat book is the one for you. If you want to be able to set up and do a few cool things with your own mailserver, this is all you will need. It's written by Craig Hunt too, so you know it's going to be easy to read and accurate." - Nick Veitch, Linux Format, July

Product Description
More often than not, the words "sendmail configuration" strike dread in the hearts of sendmail and system administrators--and not without reason. sendmail configuration languages are as complex as any other programming languages, but used much more infrequently--only when sendmail is installed or configured. The average system administrator doesn't get enough practice to truly master this inscrutable technology. Fortunately, there's help. The sendmail Cookbook provides step-by-step solutions for the administrator who needs to solve configuration problems fast. Say you need to configure sendmail to relay mail for your clients without creating an open relay that will be abused by spammers. A recipe in the Cookbook shows you how to do just that. No more wading through pages of dense documentation and tutorials and creating your own custom solution--just go directly to the recipe that addresses your specific problem. Each recipe in the sendmail Cookbook outlines a configuration problem, presents the configuration code that solves that problem, and then explains the code in detail. The discussion of the code is critical because it provides the insight you need to tweak the code for your own circumstances. The sendmail Cookbook begins with an overview of the configuration languages, offering a quick how-to for downloading and compiling the sendmail distribution. Next, you'll find a baseline configuration recipe upon which many of the subsequent configurations, or recipes, in the book are based. Recipes in the following chapters stand on their own and offer solutions for properly configuring important sendmail functions such as: Delivering and forwarding mail Relaying Masquerading Routing mail Controlling spam Strong authentication Securing the mail transport Managing the queue Securing sendmail sendmail Cookbook is more than just a new approach to discussing sendmail configuration. The book also provides lots of new material that doesn't get much coverage elsewhere--STARTTLS and AUTH are given entire chapters, and LDAP is covered in recipes throughout the book. But most of all, this book is about saving time--something that most system administrators have in short supply. Pick up the sendmail Cookbook and say good-bye to sendmail dread.

5.0 out of 5 stars To the point, useful and mostly complete, 18 Jun 2007
By Pedro Fortuny Ayuso "pfortuny" (Valladolid, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a complete, clear and useful cookbook. No-nonsense, but easy reading.

If you have already set up a sendmail server but somehow know that what you have done can or may or should be done better, then buy this book, and you will have taken a step towards enlightenment and a better system administration.

The introduction states that this is not a book to be read from cover to cover. Let me disagree: that is exactly what I did when receiving it (and I must say I just could not stop) and, yes, I do not remember each recipe, but I do have got a clear scent of sendmail's flavour (and power) and now that I have somewhere to come to whenever a sendmail problem arises.

Problems stated are realistic (take a look at the Contents and you will percive this), solutions are stated in a clear, complete and straightforward language and discussions are part of the beauty of the book.

Security is explained in detail as well, even to the point of describing how to generate the certificates, how and where to store them, etc... (which you may know but is a plus).

A great *cookbook*: do not expect to find any "nuts and bolts" of sendmail's configuration parameters or dirty hacks to strange problems. It gives solutions to practical problems; it does not deal with a specific software's configuration or administration.
