Product Description
<p>Providing the range of mail-related services expected by organizations can be a confusing, daunting process. <i>Pro Open Source Mail: Building an Enterprise Mail Solution</i> presents a comprehensive guide to managing the most important services, including user administration, mail transfer agents, virus protection, spam and mail filtering, Web-based mail, and mailing list maintenance.</p>

<p>Beginning with installation and configuration of the popular server-based operating system, Fedora Core, the book outlines the system and network preparation process geared towards running an enterprise mail server. Subsequent chapters cover installation and configuration of Sendmail, popular POP3/IMAP servers Qpopper and Dovecot, and various mainstream Open Source software used for virus protection and spam filtering. With a nod to the global mail availability now required by many organizations, this book also guides you through configuration of a Web-based mail interface and mailing-list software.</p>

His experience includes building and maintaining Open Source mail solutions for an Internet service provider, and now for Ohio State University.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners...if you're more advanced, look elsewhere., May 21, 2007
By Sean P. Woods (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're a beginner this is a great book. However, I guess I'm at a higher level than what this book aims for. For example, I don't need the whole history of email, nor do I need basics on getting around a Linux system. Also, this book used FC4 and sendmail, while I am a Debian guy who uses Postfix.

If you've never set up a server before, give this book a shot. Otherwise, look for something a little more advanced.

Also - Poor editing! See especially the discussion of IMAP servers (appears as "IMA" in several tables). There are other assorted errata as well. Nothing a second edition can't fix (from what I saw).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, November 29, 2006
I am very impressed with this book. My interest in deploying my own email server has been peeked by recent events concerning privacy. While I am a programmer and I lean towards open source technologies, I was a little skeptical of my abilities of launching an open source email solution. After about four chapters of this book I relaxed because I realized the author was never assuming anything on part of the reader. Everything was thoroughly documented before me. Plus it's cool that the author adds in a little bit of history here and there on email. I definitely recommend this book. Just remember to get the most out of it, read it front to back.
