Postfix: The Definitive Guide FROM THE PUBLISHER
While basic configuration of Postfix is easy, every site has unique needs that call for a certain amount of study. This book, with background explanations and examples, eases readers from the basic configuration to the full power of Postfix. It discusses the Postfix interfaces to various tools that round out a fully scalable and highly secure email system. These tools include POP, IMPA, LDAP, MySQL, Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL), and Transport Layer Security (TLS, an upgrade of SSL). A reference section for Postfix configuration parameters and an installation guide are included.
SYNOPSIS
This guide introduces the Postfix mail transfer agent for delivering messages between servers and locally within a system, and offers guidance on configuring a Postfix server and the DNS, hosting multiple domains, setting up mailing lists, blocking unsolicited bulk mail, and using the TLS path to provide encrypted communication. A familiarity with Unix is recommended. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
FROM THE CRITICS
Slashdot.org
This is an excellent book, Dent has explained the underlying methodology and use of Postfix well, taken the reader through all aspects of this MTA system and explained both the why and the how. I would recommend this book (and, as a result Postfix) to anyone looking for an MTA and a guide to configuring and running it.
