Rating:  Summary: All basic configuration is covered Review: This book should be read by all unix administrator who touch sendmail recently as it covers all the basic configuration with a lot of examples to explain the sendmail items. You can read this and then the "bat" book so that you will be familiar "Sendmail" a lot.
Rating:  Summary: Taught me more in five minutes than others did in hours Review: This book taught me more skimming it for five minutes in a bookstore than all of the hours that I have wasted not finding what I was looking for in the O'Reilly Sendmail book. I found it especially useful in explaining, in detail and with examples, the use of the various mapping tables in the newer Sendmail versions.

Rating:  Summary: Good Book- Worth the Money Review: This reference does a good job detailing a difficult topic "Sendmail". I liked the background information alot and the author clearly seperates items that are of general interest, specific interest and advanced interest. This book helped me convert a 300 user system from mmdf to sendmail in a weekend. The only recommendation for this book and other Sendmail books I have is a better chapter/explainations on how to stop spam, check your system for spam etc. I had to go online for better spam blocking tricks. --Matt Lewis

Rating:  Summary: Beats the bat Review: Until the O'Reilly "Bat Book" is updated and expanded, this book should become the standard sendmail reference book, for linux as well as other unicies... The information is cleanly laid out, explored and described. The author presents not only broad knowledge/information, but in depth experience with the MTA and related technologies. I found this book quite helpfull when stuck with the minutia of a sendmail.cf file, and the information in the beginning of the book in great for those new to sendmail and/or linux.
