Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This quick-reference guide to the sendmail program provides a complete overview of sendmail, from command-line switches to configuration commands, from options declarations to macro definitions, and from m4 features to debugging switches -- all packed into a convenient carry-around booklet. sendmail is the program that acts like a traffic cop in routing and delivering mail on UNIX-based networks. Although sendmail is used on almost every UNIX system, it's one of the last great uncharted territories -- and most difficult utilities to learn -- in UNIX system administration. Designed as a companion volume to sendmail, 2nd Edition, this guide covers the latest version (V8.8) from the University of California, Berkeley, and has extensive cross-references to sections in the main volume. Both books are coauthored by Eric Allman, the creator of sendmail.

About the Author
is CTO with SL3D, Inc. in Boulder, Colorado. He has been active in system administration for over fifteen years and has been writing articles and books about computer software for over twenty years. His most notable books are C from A to Z (Prentice Hall), Unix Communications (Howard Sams), and, of course, sendmail (O'Reilly & Associates).

is Sendmail, Inc.'s chief technology officer and co-founder. Allman authored sendmail, the world's first Internet Mail program, in 1981 while at the University of California at Berkeley. He continues to spearhead sendmail.org, the global team of volunteers that maintain and support the sendmail open source platform.

3.0 out of 5 stars V8.10 is out now, March 27, 2000
Major changes in v8.10, including a much easier interface to the various RBL's. It is a good book, but time for an update. If you still have v8.9.3 in your shop, you can admin with this book though.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Outdated Book, February 14, 2003
By A Customer
This book is written for version 8.8 of sendmail. Sendmail went through some major changes with version 8.9 and these are not covered in this book. Also, the current version of Sendmail is 8.12.X.

Maybe the O'Reilly people should consider an update!

3.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a technical manual - what's the point?, January 6, 2002
By J. Thomas Dyess (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wasn't very happy with this book. It reads like a technical manual. Not very intuitive and is probably useful if you are already compitent with sendmail. If you are already compitent, what's the point? Was difficult to find even the simplest details on how to do something. Impossible to read cover to cover. Like reading an encrypted phone book.
