Postfix is a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA): software that mail servers
use to route email. Postfix is highly respected by experts for its
secure design and tremendous reliability. And new users like it
because it's so simple to configure. In fact, Postfix has been
adopted as the default MTA on Mac OS X. It is also compatible with
sendmail, so that existing scripts and programs continue to work
seamlessly
after it is installed.
Postfix was written by well-known security expert Wietse Venema,
who reviewed this book intensively during its entire development.
Author Kyle Dent covers a wide range of Postfix tasks, from virtual
hosting to controls for unsolicited commercial email.
While basic configuration of Postfix is easy, every site has
unique needs that call for a certain amount of study. This book,
with careful background explanations and generous examples, eases
readers from the basic configuration to the full power of Postfix.
It discusses the Postfix interfaces to various tools that round out
a fully scalable and highly secure email system. These tools
include POP, IMAP, LDAP, MySQL, Simple Authentication and Security
Layer (SASL), and Transport Layer Security (TLS, an upgrade of
SSL). A reference section for Postfix configuration parameters and
an installation guide are included.
Topics include:
Basic installation and configuration
DNS configuration for email
Working with POP/IMAP servers
Hosting multiple domains (virtual hosting)
Mailing lists
Handling unsolicited email (spam blocking)
Security through SASL and TLS
From compiling and installing Postfix to troubleshooting,
"Postfix: The Definitive Guide" offers system administrators and
anyonewho deals with Postfix an all-in-one, comprehensive tutorial
and reference to this MTA.
