The average system administrator doesn't get enough practice to truly master this inscrutable technology. Fortunately, there's help. The \u003ci\u003esendmail Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e provides step-by-step solutions for the administrator who needs to solve configuration problems fast. Say you need to configure sendmail to relay mail for your clients without creating an open relay that will be abused by spammers. A recipe in the Cookbook shows you how to do just that. No more wading through pages of dense documentation and tutorials and creating your own custom solution--just go directly to the recipe that addresses your specific problem. Each recipe in the \u003ci\u003esendmail Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e outlines a configuration problem, presents the configuration code that solves that problem, and then explains the code in detail. The discussion of the code is critical because it provides the insight you need to tweak the code for your own circumstances. The \u003ci\u003esendmail Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e begins with an overview of the configuration languages, offering a quick how-to for downloading and compiling the sendmail distribution. Next, you'll find a baseline configuration recipe upon which many of the subsequent configurations, or recipes, in the book are based. Recipes in the following chapters stand on their own and offer solutions for properly configuring important sendmail functions such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDelivering and forwarding mail\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRelaying\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMasquerading\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRouting mail\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControlling spam\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrong authentication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSecuring the mail transport\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eManaging the queue\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSecuring sendmail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ci\u003esendmail Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e is more than just a new approach to discussing sendmail configuration. The book also provides lots of new material that doesn't get much coverage elsewhere--STARTTLS and AUTH are given entire chapters, and LDAP is covered in recipes throughout the book. But most of all, this book is about saving time--something that most system administrators have in short supply.
