Summary: SUPERB! A must-have! More practical than "the bat"
Review: Based on the TOC, I've been anxiously awaiting this book (so I can figure out a bunch of sendmail problems I have). Well, it's even better than I anticipated! The initial chapters on concepts are clear; the discussion of the .cf is very useful & complete. In the real world env., I suspect this might even supplant the "bat" book! (agree? comments?)

Summary: Linux Sendmail Administration
Review: Having read another popular sendmail book, made me wonder if I should try again. Sendmail is large complex program and can be very daunting.Craig Hunt's Linux Sendmail Administration turned out to be quite refreshing. I'm no longer satisfied with just setting up the basic sendmail configuration. His easy to understand, easy to follow style had me tinkering at each step along the way. I was looking for a simple how-to guide to get my home office sendmail up and running. Instead I got much more - a very thorough understanding of how and why sendmail works the way it does. Craig has a knack for reducing complex concepts into easily understandable lessons. Doing so, the subject matter is covered in depth, not watered down. Even difficult tasks like the m4 macro processor and rewriting rules are introduced in a straight forward useful manner. An excellent book, I can't wait for my next installment from the Craig Hunt Linux series!

Summary: Please more Hands-On and less blah blah
Review: I was trying to find a book with clear instructions about how to configure sendmail under 7.2. Unfortunately this is the only book right now available in the market, and honestly I don't like it. I found more specific procedures on internet than in this book. For example, the Essencial Configuration section Part 2, should specifically indicate how to configure sendmail in order to make it work. Instead it wastes the time walking around one thousand things and not clearly. We need something more specific like Step 1 do this, Step 2, do this...., Usually the books after to complete a subject go over the details, that is better for the learning process.

Summary: More examples, shorter explanations please
Review: New to sendmail,I needed to set up an email gateway/relay for our network. This book seemed to be the best because it addresses later sendmail versions than the current batbook. The problem I have with sendmail in general is the mountain of information available without any good way to tie it all together. Deciding which information does or does not apply to my situation was the most difficult part. More examples of configurations would be helpful. With this book,other internet resources,trial and error, and enough time, you can eventually complete your project. Great book if you want to learn sendmail theory. Not so great if you want complete configuration examples or a quick "how to".

Summary: Very well written book
Review: The first half of the book has many useful information for beginners while the second half goes into details useful for more experienced users. I especially like the tables through out the book that nicely organize and explain the various commands, variables, names, etc. I don't know when the "bat" will be updated, but this book will is hard to beat. It's easy to read and understand. Best of all, it's very well organized.

Summary: Excellent start to finish explanation
Review: This book is excellent. It starts out with the concepts and architecture of email services and then goes step by step through the installation. Since the installation changed a bit after this book came out I recommend following the directions in the README file after downloading the sendmail tarball off of ftp.sendmail.org. The book then goes into all the gory details of sendmail. I have looked all over the net and have yet to find a begin to end sendmail guide- this is what you want
