Who Should Attend:
Systems administrators who want to learn more about the

the philosophy and history underlying Sendmail, this tutorial covers:
- The basic concepts of configuration: mailers, options, macros,
classes, keyed files (databases), and rewriting rules and rulesets
- Configuring Sendmail using the M4 macro package
- Day-to-day management issues, including alias and forward files,
special recipients (files, programs, and include files), mailing
lists, command line flags, tuning, and security
- How Sendmail interacts with the Domain Name System
