Not enough sendmail material,
This review is from: sendmail for Linux (Paperback)
The book was ok for a very basic overview of sendmail, but it spent far too much time explaining basic Linux. If you are configuring sendmail, you probably already have a working knowledge of Linux.I would have liked this book to have spent more time discussing configuring sendmail, I didn't find it very helpful at all.

It's not sendmail book. It's just miscelleneous linux,
This review is from: sendmail for Linux (Paperback)
Instead of writing book about sendmail, author uses half of the book to explain material NOT related to sendmail per se. SENDMAIL.CF is the most refractory config file in the world ... which also makes sendmail the best mail router in the world too. People always asks for help about it. But the author writes about it in .. well, less than 20 pages. There's no talking about filters, no spam prevention, no nothing. What in the world does PPP have with sendmail -- than a chapter has to be dedicated to it?Conclusion: Nothing much in it could help you survive editing sendmail.cf

Misleading Title :-(,
This review is from: sendmail for Linux (Paperback)
Bad Book for Sendmail. Almost nothing about Sendmail in here. Good intro info about everything else though. (Email Principles, Linux as a mail server, Communication & Network info, DNS, SMPT, POP3, IMAP, PPP, UUCP). I feel like I wasted my money.
