Who should attend: System and network administrators who want the very basics to get them started with configuring Sendmail.

What you will learn: Real-world problems and configuring solutions, rather than Sendmail design and programming.

This half-day tutorial is designed to give network administrators an introduction to configuring Sendmail. It will cover the very basics of the sendmail.cf file so you can define macros, use DNS MX records, understand rules and rulesets, and rewrite headers. We will then examine ways to:

- Design and implement a mail topology (e.g., a trusted mail hub outside a firewall)

- Support virtual hosts, handle mail for multiple domains

- Interface to popular PC mail solutions (e.g., MS Mail)

- Establish a POP server
