This probably isn't in strict RFC 1807 format, but I'm getting
closer. Unfortunately, the format detailed in RFC 1807 was never
intended to be used in this fashion, so I'm doing a bit of square-peg
fitting into round holes.
Note that the publisher ids that I've assigned should not be
misconstrued to imply that I have actually published all these
documents, it's just that I need some sort of reasonable entry for the
RFC 1807 "ID" field, and in lieu of information to the contrary
indicating what the actual publishers have registered, I have assigned
my own, independent, "third-party" IDs. Hopefully, the bibliographic
entries below make it obvious who the real publishers of the various
documents are.

Abstract
The documentation written by Eric Allman himself, comes with the
sendmail distribution. It is absolutely necessary to have this guide
at hand at all times. Section one tells how to do an installation.
Section two explains day to day information you should know to run a
mail system. Tuning, queue management and features for access control
are all documented in this guide. The file in doc/op/op.me (nroff "me"
macro format) may have a different number of pages depending on the type
of device it is printed on, etc....

The definitive reference for version 8 sendmail (specifically,

sendmail, this one is it.
Bryan provides his consulting to the world in the form of his book,
unless you're willing to compensate him for his services as well.
Like Eric, you should make sure you've exhausted all other courses of

Abstract
Centers more on IDA sendmail (at least partly because version 8 didn't
exist when they began the book). Written more like a college
Sophomore or Junior level textbook.
While you'll probably never let the Costales book out of your grubby
little hands (especially if you do much work with version 8 sendmail),
this is a book you'll probably read once or maybe twice, learn some
very valuable things, but then likely put on a shelf and not read or
reference again (unless you have to write up a bibliographic entry for
it). Makes a better introduction to sendmail for management types,
especially if you don't want them getting their hands on too much
"dangerous" technical information. Also a *lot* smaller and less
imposing.
If possible, I recommend getting both, but if you can only get one,
get Costales unless you're going to be working exclusively with IDA
sendmail, in which case Avolio & Vixie will probably be more useful.
Note that Paul Vixie is extremely busy working on further development
of BIND, the Internet de facto standard program for serving the DNS,
upon which all Internet services depend, mail being only one of them.
Like Eric and Bryan, he's also very busy. Unless you're willing to
compensate him for his services, please let him get real work done.

This book is useful whether you run Linux or some other Unix version.
It attempts to simplify sendmail by covering only configuration options
usually needed, which reduces some complexity for new sendmail
administrators. Covered are: using the m4 language to build a sendmail
configuration, using sendmail databases such as access maps, testing
and debugging and using sendmail authentication techniques. Covers some
things not in the Costales book (the "Bat Book") which was last updated
for sendmail 8.8.

As email traffic continues to increase, system administrators must be
able to guarantee that their email servers can deliver reliable
performance today and bear larger loads tomorrow. "sendmail Performance
Tuning" is a practical guide to building, tuning, and testing email
servers based on sendmail to function more efficiently, handle more
messages, and resist both accidental and malicious load-related incidents.

Abstract
Still the best hands-on Unix System Administration book around.
Covers far more than just sendmail, but the sixty-four pages (pages
455-518 in the third printing) it does devote are very well written
and quite useful. Also provides a version of Rob Kolstad's
checksendmail script on the accompanying CD-ROM.
Note that Eric Allman and Marshall Kirk McKusick wrote the Foreword
for the Second Edition. This should give you at least an inkling as
to how essential this book is, even for experienced Unix administrators.

Abstract
Devotes 50 pages (most of chapter 8) to discussion of sendmail. As
far as TCP/IP networking books go that also happen to discuss
sendmail, it seems well-written and clear (better than I recall Hunt's
book being), but rather dated in the face of books devoted to the
topic and all the recent development activity in the sendmail
community. Forget about the references, though. The newest
sendmail-related reference listed is dated 1983, ten years before the
date on this book and most certainly wildly out-of-date now.
There are other books written on the subject of Internetworking with
TCP/IP (most notably Comer), but this particular book seems to have a
unique mix of theory (if perhaps a bit dated) and practical advice.
Other books tend to have lots of one or the other, or split their
theory and nitty-gritty details into separate books in a series (like
Comer).
Assuming that an update will be coming out soon, it probably deserves
a place on the shelf of most System or Network Administrators, right
next to _Internetworking with TCP/IP_ by Comer, _Managing Internet
Information Services_ by Liu, et. al., _DNS and BIND_ by Albitz and
Liu, _Unix System Administration_ by Nemeth, et. al., and last, but
certainly not least, _sendmail_ by Costales. However, it deserves
this place more because of the non-sendmail related material, as
opposed to what sendmail-related material there is.

Chapter 10 consists of 50 pages devoted to sendmail. Appendix E is a
60 page sendmail reference which covers compiling sendmail, m4 compiler
options, sendmail command line arguments, and sendmail configuration.
A very good treatment of sendmail, less daunting and more current than
the 2nd edition Costales book. The introductary chapters of the book
are also helpful in understanding the big picture of network services.

Abstract
As definitive as Costales is on sendmail, this book is on the subject
of the Domain Name System (DNS) and the most common server software
for the DNS, namely BIND.
The third edition deals with the new 8.1.2 version of BIND as well as
the older 4.9 versions. Wherever there is a difference in behavior of
the versions, the book points out which version does what. Anyone still
using the first edition should strongly consider replacing it now
since the new features will be the basis for the next generation of
name servers.
Since the sending of Internet mail is so very heavily dependent on
the DNS, it obviously also belongs on the shelf of any Postmaster
or System Administrator whose site does Internet email. That means
virtually every administrator of every site on the Internet.

for you, then you probably need this book.
