Three separate e-mail server packages are discussed: sendmail, qmail, and Postfix. Each security topic provides hands-on examples using each of the three e-mail packages. The book primarily focuses on providing instructions for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and small corporate network administrators for configuring Open Source e-mail packages to provide secure e-mail services to customers. Additional information educates the reader on basic e-mail principles and protocols.
This book gives you quick overview on email in general, sendmailshort ref and a lots on qmail. Accompany with diagrams and examples, it is easy to follow and precise.
I really liked this book. It gave a great intro to the different email protocols and the big three MTAs (sendmail,qmail,postfix). I have no postfix experience, but have used both sendmail and qmail. As a matter of fact, I just used this book in conjunction with "The qmail Handbook" by Sill, to switch from sendmail to qmail as an external mail relay. I liked the quick treatment and explaination of all three MTAs. This book gave me an un-biased explaination of the three. That enabled me to make an informed decision on IF I wanted to move from sendmail, and if I did, do I choose postfix or qmail. In the end I decided qmail was the way to go. qmail ROCKS!!Anyway, this is a great book for anyone needing a good comparisson of sendmail-qmail-postifx. It also provides some good ideas for security.
