I'm certainly a proponent of always looking for low-hanging fruit, but in
this case, I'd have to say that running a sendmail server is certainly one
of those cases where you really can't know too much and that not knowing
enough is just going to cause problems.
So in the spirit of offering constructive comment, here is some of
the sendmail section of my library:
* The Bat Book from O'Reilly. If that's all you have then you're not
going far. It's really a reference book.
* The Sendmail Cookbook. Excellent to have around. I wish it was
twice as thick.
* Linux Sendmail Administration by Craig Hunt. Very good
presentation.
* Sendmail Performance Tuning by Christensen. Just what it says it
is.
* Sendmail Milters by Costales Flynt. Once I thought I'd want to
write a milter. Still do, but it got pushed down the list.
* And last but not least, Sendmail Theory and Practice 2nd ed by
Vixie and Avolio. This is THE book and AFAICT, the ONLY place to
find out how to actually program sendmail. I'm not talking about
those namby pamby m5 macros. I'm taking about the good stuff. The
stuff that puts hair on your chest. The stuff that makes all those
gurly men cry.
