sendmail for Linux instructs the small business network administrator to install and configure a full-featured Internet e-mail system with a minimum amount of expense. This is possible using the Linux Operating System which supplies all of the necessary server software in conjunction with Public Domain client e-mail software on local PC's. The first part of this book provides detailed descriptions of how e-mail works and how the protocols used for Internet e-mail operate. The second part of the book assists the network administrator in configuring a Linux system and connecting it to an ISP to send and receive Internet mail.
