qmail has quietly become one of the most widely used applications
on the Internet today. It's powerful enough to handle mail for
systems with millions of users--Like Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail, while
remaining compact and manageable enough for the smallest Unix- and
Linux-based PC systems. Its component design makes it easy to
extend and customize while keeping its key functions secure, so
it's no wonder that adoption of qmail continues at a rapid pace.
The downside? Apparently none. Except that qmail's unique design
can be disorienting to those familiar with other popular MTAs (Mail
Transfer Agents). If you're coming from sendmail, for instance, you
might have trouble recasting your problems and solutions in qmail
terms. qmail first helps you establish a "qmail frame of mind,"
then explores the installation, configuration, administration, and
extension of this powerful MTA. Whether you're installing from
scratch or managing mailing lists with thousands of users, qmail
provides detailed information about how to make qmail do precisely
what you want
qmail concentrates on common tasks like moving a sendmail setup
to qmail, or setting up a "POP toaster," a system that provides
mail service to a large number of users on other computers sending
and retrieving mail remotely. The book also fills crucial gaps in
existing documentation, detailing exactly what the core qmail
software does.
Topics covered include:
Installation and configuration, including patching qmail
Moving from sendmail to qmail
Handling locally and remotely originated messages
Managing virtual domains
Logging qmail activity
Tuning qmail performance
Running multiple copies of qmail on thesame computer
Mailing list setup and management
Integrating the qmail MTA with POP and IMAP delivery
Filtering out spam and viruses
If you need to manage mailing lists, large volumes of mail, or
simply find sendmail and other MTAs too complicated, qmail may be
exactly what's called for. Our new guide, qmail, will provide the
guidance you need to build an email infrastructure that performs
well, makes sense, and is easy to maintain.
