I was asked by a friend to set up a qmail server as a test and if i could deploy one it could lead to potential employment. (it did for a contract.) This book was an immense help for me and it helped me land a job.

Outstanding instructional book on installing and using qmail

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2006

Verified Purchase

My first edition copy of this book is dog-eared and full of bookmarks. This is an excellent tutorial on installing and using qmail. It includes step-by-step instructions for each task involved in setting up and administering (as well as customizing) qmail. Great text. Highly recommended. You don't need to be a Linux expert to install qmail if you follow this guidebook.

Need to setup qmail? Start here.

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2002

This book is exactly what it say it is, a qmail handbook.

Using this book, I was able to setup qmail and get it running without a hitch. I loved the layout of the book. Basically Sill gets right down to the task of why you bought the book- installing qmail. You can read "ahead" on the chapters and then walk through or you can simply walk through the book following the chapters and install qmail. The Appendices at the end where great. I personally suggest reading through these BEFORE you start the 1st chapter, but that is my own prefference.

The Appendices cover topics like "How qmail works", "qmail features", "Gotchas", etc. However, they are appendices so you can read them if you want to. Unlike the Sendmail bat book, where you have to wade through understanding internet mail and such, these are at the end in Sills book. It is a matter of prefference, but I would still recommend you read them (Especially the part on how qmail works!!!).

If you are new to qmail, and need to setup a server without straining you eyes on a computer screen, this is the book you need. It covers using qmail as your imap/pop server, as a external mail relay (a must for keeping your internal Exchange server secure), mailing lists, anti-spam, webmail, and many more features. This is really the only book you need if you are running qmail.

A qmail 'must have'

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2001

Great book! One of the few books (of the hundreds I have) that actually contains useful information. You really -can- install and run qmail with this book. Follow along closely (check your spelling and case!! (I know)). Source from the book (all of the scripts and startup file) is available at the publisher ... This book has a great explanation of -how- qmail works, information on virtual domains, web mail, and pop servers that is a practical guide, not just the usual "find it on the web and figure it out" that many other linux books seem to rely on. Some of the book is based on the `life with qmail' documentation that the same author wrote, but with much better explanations and further examples of why you should do it `this way' instead of `that way'. The "LWQ" and all of the qmail source and other information is available ... The author has been most generous with his time by helping out on the qmail newsgroup alt.comp.mail.qmail. You can not go wrong having this book, a very good investment.

Great starter book for anyone

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2004

Dave Sill did an excellent job of showing how to setup email server. If you know some Linux commands, you'll have no problem setup your first Linux email server. I personally prefer Dave's Qmail handbook to John Levine's Qmail (I got as well). Levine's Qmail is an great second book.
Best Linux book I ever bought!

Qmail made much easier with this book

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2002

After a month, and hours of installing and reinstalling FreeBSD and Qmail, I finally got the mail server working right! This was my first attempt at a mail server which I use for my family members and a few friends. There are a few errors in the book in some of the scripts which did cause me many problems. That was a pain. But, even at that, I don't think I would have been able to get Qmail running without this book. It is a great book for a person like me who is always doing something a bit over my head.
