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.
