Rating: When I bought this book back slightly before the dawn of time, I was in the process of standing up several corporate mailing lists to interact with our sendmail gateways. All of this sort of stuff was new to most of us and this book was a great help. Like all of the ORA blue books, it is straight UNIX. No pointy-clicky stuff here. Instead you get solid command line, text based configuration files and basic troubleshooting techniques for getting your lists running and keeping them running. It is beginning to show its age in that it no longer covers some of the more modern listserv systems (like mailman) with web based frontends, but it is still a great reference for explaining what a listserv is and how it should be managed and used.
